Why visit Naples

Naples rewards anyone willing to move fast and eat standing up. A wood-fired margherita costs €5 from a Quartieri Spagnoli oven, and the Circumvesuviana reaches Pompeii’s gates in 35 minutes. One walkable corridor links the Duomo, Spaccanapoli and Castel dell’Ovo, with Vesuvius filling the view behind the port. Give it €55 a day and you will still eat better than in Rome — sfogliatella included.
