Naples: Italy’s Most Underrated City
Having visited Italy’s three biggest cities, here’s why Naples is my absolute favourite
Italy is a country that I’ve visited many times in my life. I’ve been to Rome and Florence twice respectively, once in Milan and quite a few times on Italy’s northeastern Adriatic Coast.
However, I recently visited the South of the country and the region’s biggest city, Naples, for the very first time in May 2022, and the city has quite quickly become my favourite Italian city and a place I would reckon no one should skip on his personal Italian itinerary!
Here I am going to line out my three main reasons why you should absolutely visit Naples, and why I prefer it to the other major Italian cities I’ve visited.
First of all, from a cultural, sightseeing and of course touristy perspective, it is totally underrated.
Having been to Rome and Florence before, it’s fair to say that I didn’t have many expectations regarding the culture, historical buildings or archaeological landmarks in Naples. But, like many tourists who skip Naples, I was totally wrong, because the city actually has quite a lot to offer in terms of culture and history.
As such, you have many beautiful ancient castles across the city, of which Castel Sant’Elmo offers incredible and breathtaking views over…
