3 Days in Napoli:
How to plan the perfect visit at Napoli - Naples
In the 6th
century BC, the Greeks re-founded an ancient city, called it
Neapolis, and it became the center of a dream and an ambition they
had, to create Magna Graecia.
Their main goal was the influence and integration of Greek culture
into the Roman one.

Naples
over the years became an important port
in Southern Italy,
the second busiest in the world after the port of Hong Kong, the
capital of Campania
and the third largest city in Italy after Rome and Milan. The
historic center of Naples is the largest in Europe, covering 17 sq.
km. and has been listed by UNESCO
as a World Heritage Site.

Throughout
its long history, Naples has been a major cultural centre with a
global sphere of influence, particularly during the Renaissance
and Enlightenment.
Naples
is close to many culturally and historically significant sites, such
as the Roman ruins of Pompeii
and Herculaneum.

Gastronomically, the city is synonymous with pizza,
which was invented here. In 2024, TasteAtlas
ranked Naples the 2nd city with the best food in the world.
Neapolitan music is also influential, with the city credited with
inventing the romantic guitar and mandolin, and making significant
contributions to opera and popular music.

Naples is
world-famous for its football team, ‘Napoli’, three-time Italian
champions (most recently in 2023), which plays at the Stadio
Diego Armando Maradona in the west of
the city, in the Fuorigrotta district.
The stadium is named after the most famous footballer to have played
for the team, and who is venerated as ‘God’ in the city, the
Argentine Diego Armando Maradona,
who played for the team for seven years.
