Hotels near Naples International Airport - NAP, Naples

Vibrant city, crazy driving living up to the reputation of the worst drivers in Italy are here! The people are lovely and very hospitable, the food is to die for and I wished I could have stayed longer

The Historic district is old, and not everything is in great repair, but there are wonderful small cafés and trattoria's that you can find, and if you are interested in history and in visual art there is a lot to find in Naples. We were somewhat disappointed by the murals in the Spanish Quarter (most seemed only slightly more than spontaneous graffiti), but the strong sense of community spirit and the sincerely welcoming attitude of everyone we met there made up for it! Absolutely make the trek to the waterfront (Santa Lucia and Chiaia) for a delicious seafood dinner at least once! If you find a good hotel (after a not-so-good experience at a different establishment we very happily settled into the Palazzo Caracciolo, which was wonderful!), Naples has a lot to offer and it is close enough for day trips to Pompeii, Herculaneum and the Amalfi Coast!

We were really surprised how dirty the streets were. Rubbish lined every street . Graffiti everywhere, smokers everywhere. Some lovely buildings but spoilt by the mess. Train ticket attendants were not friendly and were unhelpful. We felt they really disliked having to speak English at Napoli Central. The ones at University linear line were much better. Restaurants were good . Good base to tour Mt Vesuvius and the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Naples is kind of unique. Its kind of a bit mad, kind of a bit run down, but it has this infectious, exuberant vibe. The Neapolitans themselves are just fantastic - genuinely friendly and kind. They are SO proud of their city. Naples claims to have the best coffee in Italy, and its probably true. It's also the pizza capital of Italy - the birthplace of the margarita pizza - but also has great for pasta and seafood. After dark in Naples is party time, and it seems that every night is party night! The traffic is total madness, and people on scooters appear out of nowhere, even in pedestrian areas. But other than that, we felt very safe in the city. This is a great place to stay if you want to visit Pompeii or Herculaneum. Both are just a short train ride away, which can get you there long before the crowds. The public transport, its good, cheap and safe. Herculaneum - Pompeii's less well-known cousin - was a highlight for us. We visited in late May, at around 11am, and there were no crowds, just a few parties of enthusiastic history lovers and some school groups.

We had a great trip and for us 3 days was just right. We visited Pompeii, hiked Vesuvius, caught a ferry for lunch in Provida, and the Metro to the football stadium. There is loads more to do if you stay longer. The city was not expensive to eat out, food of course exceptional and people really friendly. It felt like old Italy more than other places we've been. Less English spoken, more authentic, very busy during the day (insane traffic), not so much at night. We walked mainly, the Metro is also cheap and easy to use.

A city full of history, culture and kind people. The Churches are beautiful, most if the buildings are amazing and Restaurants serve good food (yet not that diversified as you might expect.) Unfortunately, Naples is not that safe or clean. Trash is almost everywhere, even though trash cans exist in all parts of the city. Old clothes, cigarettes and cans are everywhere on the sidewalks and streets, except some parts of the Historical centre which are very clean. Stealing is something normal for many and unfortunately the police is not that responsive to the tourists’ complains about stolen things. I have many friend whose phones, AirPods and different devices were stolen. If you pay good attention to your personal objects, nothing bad will happen. Also, the public transport (except the Metro and Train) is barely usable. Buses come rarely in their stations and most of the time are crowded. We have waited for more than 2h for a bus near the Piazza del Plebiscito — in the very centre of Naples. So please pay attention to this aspect also in choosing to visit Napoli. Naples is worth a visit if you want to see the real beauty of the Neapolitan culture — the beautiful language, grest culture and amazing foods. For sure (with a good dose of attention), Naples is worth a visit.
