Planning a family reunion in Naples
Pizza in the old quarter, Pompeii day trips, espresso every two corners. For a group, weigh a block of hotel rooms against one whole-home rental: the house is usually better value per person and keeps everyone together, while a hotel is simplest for a short stay. Expedia shows both for Naples.
Naples with kids, realistically
Pizza makes Naples the cheapest city in this region to feed children in. The underground tour has genuinely narrow passages that rule it out for small children and anyone claustrophobic, so check before booking. The three funiculars up the Vomero hill are a ride in their own right, and Citta della Scienza in Bagnoli is hands-on. Cobbles and absent pavements argue for a carrier.
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'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.
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 things cost in Naples
Single urban transport tickets sit around a euro and a half to two. A sit-down margherita is five to eight euro; folded from a window it is under two. A sfogliatella runs a couple of euro and an espresso at the bar stays under a euro twenty. Cappella Sansevero is 10 euro and Napoli Sotterranea fifteen to twenty depending on whether you book online.
