15Day 1: Naples – The Gateway to Southern Italy
Start your journey in Naples, the bustling and chaotic heart of Southern Italy. Naples is famous for being the birthplace of pizza, and there’s no better way to kick off your trip than with an authentic Neapolitan pizza at one of the city’s legendary pizzerias, such as L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele.
Spend your morning exploring Naples’ rich history. Visit Castel dell’Ovo, a seaside fortress offering stunning views of the Gulf of Naples. Afterward, head to the Naples National Archaeological Museum, which houses some of the world’s best-preserved Roman artifacts, including relics from Pompeii and Herculaneum.
In the afternoon, take a leisurely stroll through the old town, wandering along Spaccanapoli, the narrow street that cuts through the historical center. The lively atmosphere, colorful buildings, and small shops give you a true sense of the city’s charm.
