Leave before 08:00Amalfi Coast
The sea gives the coast its scale. An early boat also removes the least romantic part of the day: sitting in road traffic.

Mergellina → Chiaia → Vomero
Start by the sea, cross Chiaia, and save the funicular for the final part of the climb.

Rione Sanità
The catacombs are the anchor. The visit becomes a real half-day when you continue through Sanità instead of leaving immediately.

Napoli after dark
Naples works better as a sequence of streets than a checklist of venues. Begin somewhere social, then stay alert to the mood around you.
Read the local guideSave these before you go
Cross the street with calm confidence. Make eye contact, keep moving, and do not sprint.
Carry some cash. Some excellent little coffee bars still do not take every international card.
Do not schedule the coast too tightly. Ferries, weather, and lunch all move at their own pace.
A quick coffee means standing at the bar. Sitting down changes the price and the pace.
Use the metro, funicular, and your feet. Driving in central Naples usually creates more problems than it solves.
The same careful selection, one city at a time.
