If your cruise stops In Naples you will have the opportunity to explore one of the most authentic enclaves of Italy, from which to contemplate the best views of a Mediterranean bay. It is said that no trip to this city is complete without a visit to the area between Piazza Garibaldi and Via Toledo, but this is not the only thing to see.
If you have already been to Naples, this is one of the most frequent destinations for Mediterranean cruises, I recommend that you take the opportunity to take an excursion to Pompeii, the city buried under the ashes, or the beautiful island of Capri. But if it is the first time, enjoy this bustling and always alive city.
The streets Via dei Tribunali and Via San Biagio dei Librai are the main streets of the old town of Naples, dividing the city in two. On one side we will find the most "authentic" of the city, an open-air market where you will find everything from second-hand clothes to fashion boutiques.
Mandatory stop on all excursions and tours that are organized around the city is the Duomo building, from the XNUMXth century, although its neo-Gothic façade is from the late XNUMXth century dedicated to the patron saint of the city, San Jenaro.
Naples Cathedral is the most important building of worship in the city and within its walls is the oldest baptistery in the West. To admire the most important collection on the ruins of Pompeii, and if you do not have time to get to the city, I recommend that you visit the Archaeological Museum of Naples and the Capodimonte Gallery.
In the Gesú Nuovo churches you will find the fresco by Francesco Solimena, and do not miss the church of San Gregorio, or Santa Patricia, in one of the most unique streets of the city.
But There is one thing that you should not miss in Naples and that is to try the authentic Neapolitan pizza, with a fine base, very, very fine.
If you travel with Costa Cruises, I recommend that you read this article about the new excursion proposals in Naples from the shipping company.
