"A lively city with a great past" Naples by extrajoce
Naples Travel Guide: 1,219 reviews and 2,994 photos
I discovered Naples on a nice and calm day, completely outside the tourist season. This allowed me to enjoy many of the local places, to walk around peacefully and to visit many of the highlights and neoghbourhoods of the capital of the south. Its grand old days are everywhere to be seen, and offer an interesting contrast with its modern face.
- Pros:Architecture, food
- Cons:Can give a feeling of insecurity and poverty
- In a nutshell:A contrasted and lively city
