Pizza in Naples, lemon groves above the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii frozen in time under Vesuvius. Campania puts Italy’s most theatrical coast, its most vivid city and its most famous ruins in one region.
You can travel from London St Pancras International to Piazza Dante in Naples by rail via Paris, Basel and Milan, with separate tickets and several changes. Eurostar gets you to Paris, and TGV Lyria, EuroCity and an Italian high-speed train carry you onwards. The Swiss corridor is one option, not the only rail route to […]
A dinner for two in Naples can centre on the harbour, a chef-led menu or seafood chosen around the day’s catch. La Scialuppa puts you beside Borgo Marinari’s water and Castel dell’Ovo. Palazzo Petrucci pairs a sea-facing dining room with tasting menus. ‘A Fenestella brings you to Marechiaro, with an outlook towards the Posillipo hillside. […]
Travelling from Piazza della Repubblica in Rome to Piazza Municipio in Naples means choosing not just a train or coach, but how you reach its terminal and continue across Naples. High-speed rail is the simpler choice when time or handling luggage matters most. Itabus can suit a tighter budget, provided its fare advantage survives the […]
Naples has both a sociable bar scene and nights built around music.

The first three keep you in central Naples, while Arenile means heading out to the western coast rather than […]

Yes, you can drink water from Naples’s municipal supply. It is potable and suitable for human consumption, whether you are visiting from elsewhere in Italy or abroad. The important distinction is between that supply and the individual tap: a hotel or apartment’s plumbing can affect the water that reaches your glass. You can use a […]
If you stay overnight in Naples and are not a municipal resident, you normally owe tourist tax unless an exemption applies. The charge depends on your accommodation’s legal category, the guests who are liable and the taxable nights. Pay it through your accommodation or, for Airbnb bookings, through the platform. Keep the payment record so […]
