Naples Airfares

Only the very brave drive in Naples, but even a taxi-ride can be a hair-raising experience. This southern Italian city is a place where the senses operate at full capacity – the noise of the traffic, the smell of pizza and less savoury aromas in the back streets, and the hectic street scenes envelop visitors, while specialties such as pizza (Naples is the home of this world-beloved delight) will have the tastebuds in overload too.
Naples is Italy’s third-largest city, and lies roughly two hours’ drive south of Rome. A stroll through the vibrant historic centre, concentrated around the Spaccanapoli, is an essential part of any visit. Those with an interest in history will also want to see the famous museum of national archeology, housed in a former military barracks, which has one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of Greek and Roman antiquities, including artifacts from Pompeii.

Parts of the city are grotty and run-down, making the stylish Galleria Principe di Napoli a refreshing contrast. The shopping arcade, with its soaring cast-iron and glass ceiling, was built in the late 19th century.

Naples is also a fabulous base for an array of side-trips – to the serene island of Capri, the captivating ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum and to the winding road along the Amalfi Coast.
