Stroll around Naples City Centre to discover everything from Roman artifacts to the masterpieces of Renaissance artists. Between visiting grand churches and opulent palaces, shop at boutiques and eat the city’s famous Neapolitan pizza at atmospheric restaurants.

Start at the stunning Piazza del Plebiscito. Photograph the sights surrounding this largest square in Naples, including Palazzo di Reale Napoli, also known as the Royal Palace. Step inside its rooms to appreciate historic paintings and furniture. Nearby, the San Carlo Theater is a prestigious venue for Italian opera and other performances.

You can’t miss the huge dome and Corinthian columns of the Basilica San Francesco di Paola. Discover sculptures and altarpieces inside. Move on to Piazza Municipio and the imposing medieval Castel Nuovo. Study the Armoury Hall and Roman ruins under a glass floor. The Hall of the Barons is a majestic throne room.

Located in the heart of the city, Naples Cathedral or the Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary is a popular place for photos and worship. Delve into more history at the Naples National Archaeological Museum, with a focus on artifacts from Pompeii and Herculaneum. For contemporary art, visit Museo Madre. Housed in Palazzo Donnaregina, the permanent collection includes works by Francesco Clemente and Anish Kapoor.

Find excellent shopping in Naples. Via Toledo stretching through the center of the city is lined with jewelry and fashion stores. Shop in Galleria Umberto beneath a glass roof and surrounded by sculptures and mosaics. Via Chiaia is ideal for leisurely shopping along a pedestrian thoroughfare filled with tailors. At La Pignasecca, the city’s oldest market, buy fresh produce and simple Italian foods such as salami and fresh lasagna.

The best way to get around Naples City Centre is on foot. However, metro trains, buses and taxis are also available. Maritime Station at the Port of Naples is the hub for ferries and cruise ships. Fly to Naples International Airport for a 10-minute drive or taxi ride to the historic town center.
