The centro storico is a must see in Naples. Not so well reserved as the historic buildings in Rome, Umbria or Toscany, but in fact that's Naples. Many nice churches, shops and busy street life.

Just hand onto your handbags, avoid motor scooters and cars that tear around the narrow streets, and soak... More

You will find amazing things round literally every corner, a truly wonderful place to spend the day in Naples.
