Located in Italy’s Campania region, Naples is a city best known perhaps for allegedly being the creator of one of the world’s most popular culinary exports, pizza. Lovers of this calorie-rich bread, tomato and cheese creation are not the only visitors to head to this popular tourist destination. With its wealth of cultural attractions and fascinating old buildings and landmarks, it’s not difficult to see the attraction of the place.
Naples appeals to visitors of all ages and anyone wanting to take a holiday here with the little ones in tow will be glad to know that the city has an excellent selection of attractions and activities suitable for children. Two amusement parks offer fun packed days out, Magicworld being especially attractive during the summer for its water park, while the beach is a bit of a drive away but also a great place to spend those long sunny summer days.
Naples celebrates all of Italy’s public holidays and also has a selection exclusive to the city. Religious festivals are integral to the life of Naples’ Catholic residents and since most are essentially celebrations, you can be sure that the city is filled with good cheer, smiling faces and high spirits during these times. Look out for the lively rock festival in July if you are a music lover and the popular Pizzafest in September if you are a fan of the obvious.
Abundant sightseeing opportunities are to be had in Naples, with some emphasis on historical buildings. There are chances to see what elements of the city looked like as far back as the 4th century and as recently as the 19th century. A stroll around the city centre is in itself a treat for the eyes, with its grand squares, pretty thoroughfares and mix of modern and traditional architecture.
Situated a mere eight kilometres (five miles) northeast of the city centre, Capodichino Airport is the major gateway to the southern Italy and the Campania region, with connections maintained with the majority of major EU cities and a small number of long haul destinations.
