What makes Naples special
Discover the Fontanelle Cemetery
The makeshift burial site, under Capodimonte hill, is full of plague victims from the seventeenth century. Built into a cave, this may be a slightly morbid attraction, yet the Fontanelle cemetery continues to draw visitors every year. Bet you never knew there was such a collection of bones below the busy streets of Naples. Of all the places to see in Naples, none quite compares to this. A trip below the chaos of this Italian city allows you to dive into the traditions of religion, pagan rituals, and the folklore of the past.

Visit Castel Sant’Elmo
Enjoy panoramic views of Naples from the medieval fortress on Sant Elmo hill. Dating back to 1275, the castle that stands today was formerly a church, constructed in the place of the old Belforte watchtower. From the terrace, you can bask in jaw-dropping views of the bay, as far out as the island of Capri. The views aren’t the only draw for visitors though; the ex-prison turned Neapolitan art museum (Novecento a Napoli Museum) is a mecca for art lovers, and one of the top places to visit in Naples. Paintings, sculptures, and various installations adorn the space. Climb the hill to the top or take the funicular for a smooth journey.

Indulge in Neapolitan Pizza
Naples is famous for countless sites, monuments, and attractions. There are plenty of places to visit in Naples, but none are tastier then indulging in a traditional Neapolitan pizza at one of the local pizzerias. Wander the streets in search of the best pizza and Italian treats. Better yet, join a food tour to guarantee you’ll find the most delicious eats. Many visitors make a stop here merely for the grub, and it’s no wonder why. Once you’ve filled up on your share of traditional Italian food, you’ll be sufficiently fueled to explore all the beautiful places to see in Naples.
