Discover Naples, a city of raw beauty, rich history, and irresistible energy. Set between the glittering Bay of Naples and the looming presence of Mount Vesuvius, Naples is where ancient ruins, baroque churches, lively street life, and world-famous cuisine come together. From UNESCO-listed historic streets and underground treasures to seaside promenades and legendary pizza, Naples offers an unforgettable mix of culture, chaos, and charm—authentically Italian and unapologetically alive.
Here’s a guide to making the most of your weekend in Naples:
Day 1: Historic Naples, art, and iconic flavors
Begin your first day in the Historic Center of Naples (Centro Storico), a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited urban areas. Walk along Spaccanapoli, the narrow street that cuts through the city, lined with churches, palaces, artisan shops, and bustling cafés.
Visit Naples Cathedral (Duomo di San Gennaro) to learn about the city’s patron saint, then explore nearby highlights such as San Gregorio Armeno, famous for its traditional nativity-scene workshops, and the stunning Cappella Sansevero, home to the Veiled Christ sculpture.
For lunch, indulge in Naples’ most famous export: pizza. Stop at a historic pizzeria to try a classic Margherita or Marinara, best enjoyed simply and fresh from a wood-fired oven.
In the afternoon, head to Castel Nuovo (Maschio Angioino) or visit the National Archaeological Museum, which houses extraordinary Roman artifacts from Pompeii and Herculaneum.
As evening approaches, stroll along the Lungomare waterfront for sunset views of the bay. Enjoy dinner at a seaside restaurant in Chiaia or Santa Lucia, ending the night with an espresso or sfogliatella in a lively piazza.
Day 2: Capri escape, coastal beauty, and island glamour
Begin early with a ferry or hydrofoil from Naples to Capri, a scenic journey of under an hour across the Bay of Naples. Upon arrival, head to the iconic Piazzetta, Capri’s lively heart, surrounded by cafés and designer boutiques. Take a boat tour around the island to admire Capri’s dramatic coastline, including the legendary Faraglioni rock formations and, weather permitting, a visit to the magical Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra).
For lunch, enjoy fresh seafood or a leisurely caprese salad with local mozzarella and tomatoes at a seaside restaurant. In the afternoon, travel up to Anacapri, a quieter and more relaxed part of the island. Ride the chairlift to Monte Solaro for breathtaking panoramic views or explore charming streets lined with artisan shops.
End your day with a peaceful walk through the Gardens of Augustus, overlooking the winding Via Krupp, before returning to Naples in the evening—sun-kissed, relaxed, and inspired by Capri’s timeless beauty.
