Pennsylvania, Philadelphia - Report by Brianna. Today, we will give information about 8 things you must do in Naples .

Ah - the beautiful chaos of Napoli! I am in love with this city.

did you know that Naples is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world? The Greek bronze age settlements have been established in the second millennium BC. 

lovers and families Naples

Naples is raw and gritty and a bit dirty. It is also fast, sexy, and very exciting. 

this beautiful town is at the gates of the Amalfi Coast more refined and discreet, the main point in the incredibly chic Capri, the island of Ischia, spa-like and one of 10 of access colorful on Earth, the beautiful and picturesque places in most small island of Procida. 

its suburbs include Pompeii and Herculaneum (read my blogpost on Pompeii: things you probably don't know about Pompeii)

Naples is a city of heartbeat. Living, dynamic and fun, a city that you must absolutely discover.

walk. Even with all the miles I've accumulated more to drive the length and the width of the Italy and Sicily, you could not afford to take me to the madness that is Naples. Even on a scooter.

A holiday on the Amalfi coast is in need of at least a day dedicated to Napoli . But once you've spent a day in Naples you will want to come back for more. A week is not enough time to see everything in Naples!

here are 8 things you must do in Naples.

1. Drinking coffee. 

the Italy has the best coffee in the world, and Naples has the best coffee in the Italy. Start your day in Naples with a macchiato or Caffè fast and then stop throughout the day to get supplies. 
Neapolitan coffee is very, very strong. It has a taste like no other coffee on Earth. Somehow, it ruins you, because after Napoli coffee every cup of coffee you drink paled in comparison. Just do not exceed 9 in one day...

press reports said of unfortunates who drank ten espressi in one day and keeled died as a result. 

2. Walk Spaccanapoli

Spaccanapoli, literally split of Naples, is a perfectly straight Street that dates back to 2000 years in Greek times. It passes through the heart of the historical center of Naples. 
works Spaccanapoli, you experience a sensory overload of everything you never thought to Naples to be. It is narrow and vertical, built height with fantastic old buildings. On the ground floor, it is teeming with life, a Visual explosion of stores and people and restaurants and, thus, of life !
the Spaccanapoli sounds are wonderful and noisy. Neapolitans do not speak, they shout. Gesture and emote. They are wonderful!
do not forget to look and see the laundry strung out in the street, drying in the coastal breeze.

3. Eat Baba. 

this light as air cake is smothered in a rum syrup. Or maybe it's the pure rum? Who knows - I could swear that I had a bit of buzz about her.

anyway that Baba is a must.

4. Walk, walk and walk. 

this is certainly not a city view from a window of the bus. Disclosure and make a circuit of the station down in front of the University, cut through to Piazza Plebiscito, go back through the San Carlos, the shopping mall Galleria Umberto and see the exquisite buildings restored to their former elegance. 

of there head to Spaccanapoli, a lonely and narrow road that separates Naples literally in half. There is so much to see here! Incredible Santa Chiara and her cloîtres, the Cathedral of San Gregorio Armeno and via San Gregorio Armeno, where you can buy the presepi famous in the world. 

here are the scenes of the Nativity and the individual elements of the Nativity scenes that are an integral part of the Italian Christmas. Each House has a. 

, they are not only the 3 Kings and Jesus in the manger, the Neopolitan presepi include everyone who lives in the village. They are so detailed and spectacular and special! You can buy the whole Nativity scenes to bring home, or individual Christmas decoration parts. 

one thing that I find amazing to spend time in the Campania region in December was the presepi implemented the streets little by chance by the members of the community, full of hundreds of individual pieces, some of them very very old.

no one stole all the pieces, no damaged everything that stray cats hit nothing. They were just there for everyone. I can't imagine a hard one night here in America.

5 visit Naples underground. 

under the heart of madness powered the City Café is a geothermal area called Campi Flegrei, full of fascinating tunnels, catacombs and caves, galleries, Roman, Christian burial roads early, frescoes and mosaics. Take a tour and see the galleries, that the Romans used to their engineering structures, ruins of a Roman theatre and the typical houses of Neapolitan called basso. 
after the volume life is lived to drawn up above you wish to welcome silence almost below.

6 visit the veiled Christ

Christ veiled in Cappella Sansevero will take away your breath. 
how hell Giuseppe Sammartino to do this? 
carved in marble in 1753, the veiled Christ is considered one of the masterpieces of sculpture in the world. The veil has actually highlighted the body even more than ordinary sculpture (that makes sense?), the shroud or veil adhering perfectly to its form, somehow make suffering of Jesus and the pain in her face, palpable. 
do not be surprised if this statue brings you to tears. And not to be missed if you are in the Naples area. (the Cappello Sansavero is closed on Tuesdays, then work your trip around being in Naples from any of the 6 days of the week).

7 visit the Caravaggios.

Caravaggio lived and painted for a little less than 4 years in Naples. After killing a man in Malta, he returned to Naples, where he was in his turn murdered to avenge the Maltese.

of the three Caravaggios remaining in Napoli, perhaps the most spectacular is the seven acts of mercy, a life size dark and chaotic piece lodged in Pio Monte Della Misericordia.
it's favorite painting of art historian Andrew Graham Dixon by his painting prefereecateur. Heard, or read his book on Caravaggio (A life sacred and Profane) will you become also a devotee. If you see a Caravaggio while you are in Naples, make it one.

8 Eat Pizza

of course, you know that you must eat a pizza in Naples! It is the best pizza in the world.

a couple of notes on Napoli

the best way to arrive and leave Napoli is by sea.
I arrived by ferry from Sicily night at 6 in the morning, and I sailed to Sicily in Naples as the Sun was going down.
the Bay of Naples is really beautiful.
who arrive by car or train, you will have to go through endless terrible suburbs is full of projects of dilapidated housing that evoke each history of mafia you have ever heard. It can be annoying.
first impressions stay with you forever, so make sure your first view of Naples the incredibly beautiful view of the Bay as your boat arrives. You can see the city, the mountains, and Vesuvius farniente threatening on the side.

let your jewelry behind, or if you must bring with you, don't wear them to Naples. Naples is known for cunning pickpockets and scammers who Excel to separate tourists from their rings in diamond and Rolex.
the police have cleaned things en masse, then that crime is on the decline, but not to tempt fate.
always told me to wear a backpack slung in Naples that boys racing past on scooters could not catch it and be in the wind.
I have not had any problems and have not seen anything like that going on, but can err on the side of caution.

I met fantastic people in Naples. Loud, gregarious, warm, fun and the environment - I can't wait to go back.
