Seeing Naples in a Day, Naples, Italy
One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the largest city in Southern Italy -Naples is a fascinating, chaotic place to visit, but is it possible to see Naples in a day? Yes, we covered a lot of ground in one day but we appreciated the raw beauty of Naples a lot more when we returned for a longer stay.
Naples has always had a reputation for being dangerous. The city is the home of the Camorra, one of Italy’s oldest and largest gangs. However, they are not interested in tourists.
As two females travelling together, did we feel safe? Yes, we did. Pickpockets, as in most major cities, can be a problem, just pay attention to your surroundings.
Also, keep an eye out for motorbikes, you probably have a higher chance of being knocked down by a bike than being robbed.
If you are driving into Naples, as Jonathan and I did on our first trip to Naples, it’s highly recommended to use a car park rather than park on the street.
If you look up crime stats by city, Naples is currently at 90, far lower than Atlanta and Houston, for example, that are ranked at 60 and 55.
If you have only one day to visit, we have put together a list of top things to do in Naples. So start with a cup of strong coffee, make sure you’re wearing comfy shoes (Naples is best explored on foot!) and get ready to embrace the madness that is Naples. ......
