A Taste of Neapolitan Life
No visit to Naples is complete without indulging in its culinary delights. Naples is the birthplace of pizza, and a stop at one of the city’s historic pizzerias is a must for any visitor.

The National Archaeological Museum houses one of the most important collections of Greco-Roman artifacts in the world, including mosaics and relics from Pompeii and Herculaneum.
