Planning a babymoon in Naples
Pizza in the old quarter, Pompeii day trips, espresso every two corners. For two, decide between a hotel with service and a private rental with space — Expedia lists both in Naples, so you can weigh price, location and reviews in one search.
When the weather turns in Naples
The archaeological museum and Capodimonte each fill a long indoor day, and the Galleria Umberto I gives a glass-roofed crossing near the opera house. Napoli Sotterranea is unaffected by weather by definition. Drainage in the historic centre is poor, so kerbs turn into small rivers within minutes and the sloping vicoli run water. San Gennaro's treasure museum beside the Duomo is small and dry.
What to eat in Naples
Neapolitan pizza is soft, wet-centred and eaten with a knife or folded a portafoglio from a street window for a couple of euro; Da Michele serves only margherita and marinara. Sfogliatella riccia comes in shatteringly layered shells, babà soaked in rum, pastiera at Easter. The Pignasecca market and the Quartieri Spagnoli lanes carry the fried cuoppo and frittatina counters.
What first-timers get wrong in Naples
The Circumvesuviana to Pompeii and Sorrento is hot, packed and the most reliably pickpocketed train in Italy; wear bags on your front. Validate tickets. Crossing the road works by moving steadily and predictably so scooters can read you, not by waiting for a gap that never comes. Restaurants add a coperto per head, and the free bracelet is never free.
What's actually worth your time in Naples
Cappella Sansevero is one small room and a ten euro ticket, but Sanmartino's Veiled Christ is worth the timed entry and the marble drapery repays standing close. Napoli Sotterranea drops forty metres into Greek quarries turned aqueduct turned wartime shelter. The Certosa di San Martino combines the best terrace over the bay with a collection of Neapolitan nativity scenes. Castel dell'Ovo costs nothing to walk.
Naples's museums, and which one to pick
The Museo Archeologico Nazionale holds what was carried out of Pompeii and Herculaneum, including the Alexander mosaic, the Farnese Hercules and the Gabinetto Segreto of erotic material once locked away; it closes Tuesdays. Capodimonte hangs Caravaggio's Flagellation and Titian in a Bourbon hunting palace and closes Wednesdays. Both join Domenica al Museo, free on the first Sunday of each month.
