Naples is the regional capital of Campania and the third-largest city of Italy, after Rome and Milan, with a population of 909,048 within the city's administrative limits as of 2022. Its province-level municipality is the third-most populous metropolitan city in Italy with a population of 3,115,320 residents and its metropolitan area stretches beyond the boundaries of the city wall for approximately 30 kilometres (20 miles).

Founded by Greeks in the first millennium BC, Naples is one of the oldest continuously inhabited urban areas in the world. In the eighth century BC, a colony known as Parthenope was established on the Pizzofalcone hill. In the sixth century BC, it was refounded as Neápolis. The city was an important part of Magna Graecia, played a major role in the merging of Greek and Roman society, and was a significant cultural centre under the Romans.

11 unmissable places

• The first must-see in Naples is Vesuvius, which dominates the Gulf. Then there are:
• Naples and its castles: on the ancient islet of Megaride stands the imposing Castel dell'Ovo. Legend has it that its name derives from the egg that Virgil hid in a cage in the castle's dungeons. In a more central area, we find one of the symbols of the city, the Maschio Angioino, also known as Castel Nuovo, Piazza del Plebiscito, the Church of San Francesco, the Royal Palace with the famous Teatro San Carlo next to it and the beautiful Library.
• Naples and its streets: walking through the streets of the capital of Campania is an experience. You can sense it as soon as you walk, for example, along Spaccanapoli, the main street of the historic center that divides the city in two. How about visiting San Gregorio Armeno, better known as the street of nativity scenes, or, just a stone's throw from Piazza del Plebiscito, the Spanish Quarters, with their characteristic and colorful alleys, full of typical bars and, today, a tourist destination?
• Naples and its museums: extraordinary. We recommend starting with the Museo Cappella Sansevero, a former deconsecrated church, which houses masterpieces such as the Veiled Christ by Giuseppe Sanmartino. Then there is the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, one of the most important in the world, and the National Museum of Capodimonte, a splendid journey through the history of art, from antiquity to the contemporary. Not to forget the fascinating Catacombs of San Gennaro (https://catacombedinapoli.it/it/luoghi/catacombe-di-san-gennaro-napoli/), the Fontanelle Cemetery (http://www.cimiterofontanelle.com/en/home-en-2.html) or the exploration of the city's underground which allows an unforgettable geological, historical, archaeological experience (https://www.napolisotterranea.org/en/history/).
