Naples, or Napoli, is a mesmerising, chaotic, and vibrant city in Southern Italy, famous as the birthplace of pizza and for its immense historical density. The entire Historic Centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, cut through by the ancient, lively thoroughfare of Spaccanapoli. This city is all about life on the streets, magnificent art, and deep underground secrets.

You can marvel at the hauntingly beautiful sculpture, the Veiled Christ, in the Sansevero Chapel, or descend into the subterranean world of Naples Underground, a vast network of ancient tunnels and aqueducts. The grandest square is the majestic Piazza del Plebiscito, framed by the Royal Palace. With easy ferry access to the stunning islands of Capri and Ischia, Naples is a truly intense and unforgettable Italian adventure.

The best location for your Naples hotel is one that balances proximity to the central history and chaos with easy access to the port and public transport, which is essential for getting around the city.

The Historic Centre is the most atmospheric choice, placing you steps away from the iconic street food, the best pizzerias (like Da Michele), and cultural sites such as the Veiled Christ and the start of the Naples Underground tours. Be aware that the streets here are narrow and intensely busy.

For a quieter, more refined stay with immediate access to ferries, consider the area near Piazza del Plebiscito and the waterfront. This district is home to the Royal Palace, major shopping (Via Toledo), and the San Carlo Opera House. This area is more upscale and orderly than the deep historic centre.

Naples is served by Naples International Airport (NAP), with a dedicated bus service (Alibus) running to the central train station and the port. The city’s public transport, including the Metro and funiculars, is crucial for navigating. A central hotel, especially near the Toledo Metro Station, offers the best connections for exploring the city and accessing the main Stazione Centrale for trips to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast.

Hotel prices in Naples are highest during the peak summer tourist season, from June to August, and during the spring months of April and May, which offer ideal sightseeing weather. Prices also surge around major Catholic holidays, particularly Easter (Semana Santa).

The best value is found during the winter months, from November to March. A unique tip for Naples is that the traditional pizza culture of the city can be an indicator of cost. Booking a hotel in the Quartieri Spagnoli (Spanish Quarter) or the historical streets near Via dei Tribunali will often provide better, more authentic, and more affordable stays than the grand hotels by the port but are closer to the noise and action.
