Tumultuous history, passionate people and the finest food in Italy, Naples is a city alive with art, music, exquisite food, spectacular archaeological sites, extraordinary characters and a history that stretches back further than the Greeks who first named it Neopolis – New City. Year-round, Neapolitans live their lives on the streets – in bustling street markets and buzzing squares – so you only need to step outside your budget B&B or five-star hotel to feel the city’s heart pumping. Even in winter Naples is alive as Neapolitans prepare for Christmas, shopping for their hand-made and hand-painted presepi (Nativity scenes) along the ever-busy Via Gregorio San Armeno.
