Common description

Naples is the largest city in southern Italy, the capital of the Campania region. About 15 km from Naples, the Mount Vesuvius, known from the pages of school history, is located. The city is really big, comfortable to stay, with a well-developed transport infrastructure: there is an airport, a seaport, and a subway. Any resident of Naples first of all considers himself a Neapolitan, and only then - an Italian. They even speak a peculiar dialect here. And in Naples, the famous Italian actress Sophia Loren grew up.

The old part of the city (included in the UNESCO World Heritage List) contains a huge number of historical monuments, for example, there are 448 churches among the most memorable sights of the city: the medieval castle of Castell del Ovo, the Royal Palace, the church of San Francesco di Paola, Teatro di San Carlo and many others.

And for Naples pizza lovers, it’s just like a real Mecca, because it is he who is considered the birthplace of this food, which is insanely popular all over the world.

Not far from Naples are the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Destroyed to the ground by the eruptions of Vesuvius, now they are the territory of archaeological museums and existing excavations.
