The city invented pizza back in the 18th century and today the city is home to many amazing spots to grab a slice.
For example, you could head to Pizzeria La Notizia Enzo Coccia 53 which can be found in Naples’ Capodimonte quarter.
The Pizzeria offers classic flavours as well as more inventive ones such as a courgette, tomato and thyme pizza.
In addition to the sites of Pompeii, there are other historical spots such as the National Archeological Museum and Piazza del Plebiscito – a grand square featuring the Royal Palace and San Francesco di Paola church.
Visitors can also head on underground tours at Naples Sotterranea – which takes you through a network of tunnels and ancient aqueducts – and the Bourbon Tunnel – a historic passage built for military purposes.
In the city centre, you should take a wander down Spaccanapoli, which is a historic street.
Then explore Via San Gregorio Armeno, which is a narrow street famous for its artisan workshops.
The hottest months to visit Naples are in July and August, when highs reach around 31C.
January is then the coldest month to visit with highs of around 14C and lows of 5C.
