If you really love art, the best places to see it displayed are at Italian Churches and the Gesu Nuovo Church is a great example of this. The Baroque church has a wonderful display of tapestries,...

I would absolutely say that this museum should be on your top 5 attractions while visiting Naples. I would suggest seeing both Pompeii and Herculaneum first however. These museums give a great...

For anyone who arrives in Naples in the rain (like we did) and is unable to go to Pompeii (like us!), then head to the Naples National Archaeological Museum. It's not that far from the train...

Naples is a legendary city, not just for it's history and art and architecture, but for it's traffic. It took us 30 minutes to get two blocks outside of the train station. There seems to be no...

I had just come off of a ten hour train ride and was in dire need of food and a bed not to mention I was staying in my first hostel in a long time. To make things more interesting when trying to find the place I felt like I was asking for platform nine and three quarters when I asked for...

Built beside the Bay of Naples, the city is noisy, polluted, crumbling and grubby. Still, these things don’t vanish any of the fascination the city has obtained in the past years. There are noisy street markets and swarms of people buzzing around on Vespas (some Italian motor scooters). What I...
