Naples
What you need to know before you go
Naples casts an enchanting spell with its UNESCO-listed historic centre, a chaotic maze of flamboyant Baroque-style churches, medieval monasteries and crumbling Roman ruins. Culture vultures will be further seduced by the Museo di Capodimonte, a gallery boasting masterpieces by Caravaggio, Raphael and Titian, housed in a handsome palazzo.
The city's vibrant markets proffer everything from handmade Christmas decorations to chic local fashion. Then of course there's the legendary dining scene, with rustic restaurants serving some of the best thin-crust pizza and seafood spaghetti you'll find anywhere on the planet.
