The five things
05Historic Center
Eat pizza where the oven stays hot
Look at the oven and the pace of the room, not only the queue you saw online.
- How long
- 60–90 minutes
- When to go
- Before the lunch rush
Mergellina → Chiaia → Vomero
Walk uphill and let the city unfold
Start by the sea, cross Chiaia, and save the funicular for the final part of the climb.
- How long
- 2–3 hours
- When to go
- Morning or late afternoon
Rione Sanità
Go underground, then stay for the neighborhood
The catacombs are the anchor. The visit becomes a real half-day when you continue through Sanità instead of leaving immediately.
- How long
- About 3 hours
- When to go
- Morning
Piazza Bellini → Historic Center
Follow the evening, not a nightlife list
Naples works better as a sequence of streets than a checklist of venues. Begin somewhere social, then stay alert to the mood around you.
- How long
- 2 hours or until late
- When to go
- From aperitivo onward
Pompeii Archaeological Park
Give Pompeii the morning, not whatever time is left
Take an early train, enter with a route in mind and keep Vesuvius as a separate plan unless you genuinely have a full day.
- How long
- 4–6 hours
- When to go
- First morning entry
