Naples needs no introduction, and certainly no excuse to visit. “See Naples and die,” they say, because once you’ve savored the chaos, carbs, and beauty of this city, everything else pales in comparison. Tucked between the smoldering silhouette of Vesuvius and the blues of the Bay of Naples, bella Napoli grabs you by the heart—and the stomach—and never lets go.
It’s easy to fall hard for this Italian city—the pizza, the views, the proximity to Amalfi Coast gems like Sorrento and Positano, but most importantly, the neighborhoods. Each neighborhood is a vibe of its own. Ride the funicular to hilltop Vomero for cinematic views and understated elegance. Wander the palm-lined promenades of Chiaia, Naples’ chic salotto, where sea breezes, Neapolitan glamour, and aperitivi come standard. Dip into the crowded backstreets of Spaccanapoli and the Baroque charm of San Ferdinando, and you’ll get why everybody loves Napoli. To really get the most out of your trip, book a stay in an incredible Airbnb in the neighborhood of your choice and live like a local. Sure, you could stay in one of the many lovely hotels, but you won’t get the same on-the-ground feel.
