Naples Travel Guide - Activities

Cycling: cycling enthusiasts won’t be disappointed as cycling is one of the things Italians love do in their free time. There are many routes you can take to explore the city at your own pace. Adventurous cyclists can even head out to the coast and the bay to enjoy a warm afternoon in the sun. Just make sure you watch out for the cars and slopes.

Sailing: is a popular activity with visitors. Naples is a favourite destination for yacht owners and the glittering bay is very inviting as you can admire the beautiful coastline and offshore islands.

Sample the local cuisine: hungry tourists can grab a quick bite at one of many pizza places. Pizzas in Southern Italy have their own unique sauces with thinner bases while seafood dishes are also recommended. Try spaghetti ale dongle (a clam dish), and imprecate di cozen (a mussel-based dish) or a variety of mouth-watering local oysters.

Nightlife: in Naples is no less exciting than that in other European cities. Trendy clubs and music bars can be found in Piazza dei Martiri, Piazza Amedeo and Piazza San Pasquale. If you want to mingle with university students, head to the Old City Centre which is usually taken over by younger crowds.
