Why is Naples worth visiting?
Naples hides many other treasures! Italy’s most beautifully sited city has some of the best cultural attractions, superb cuisine, and energetic lust for life.
But it is for its extreme contrasts that Naples is definitely worth visiting!Â
 A taste of the variety of its neighborhoods is in the famous Spacca-Napoli district, where the marvelous baroque style of Gesu Nuovo Church is in total contrast to the austerity of the gothic Santa Chiara Church across the square.
Most things you have heard about Naples, like Neapolitans’ kindness, genuine empathy, and altruism, are true. The feeling that life is beautiful is the souvenir you bring home!Â
Naples Pizza and SfogliatellaÂ
Our last tips:
With the entire Mediterranean at their disposal, Neapolitan Restaurants are famous for their seafood dishes, the Cuoppo (fried finger food ), the Spumone “ice cream” but, most of all, for the Naples Pizza and the BabbĂ and Sfogliatella pastries.
Do not miss the last three!Â
 There is no challenge for the Pizza: look for a Sorbillo Pizzeria! We tasted other pizzas, but Sorbillo always won.Â
Gambrinus Café at Piazza Del Plebiscito is an institution, but if the line is too long like it always is, try Leopoldo pastries around the corner… delicious! It is at the beginning of Via Chiaia, also famous for shopping.
