NaplesHomeland of Pizza

Napoli is situated at the very heart of the Mediterranean, lying at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. The city covers an area of approximately 117 square kilometres and has a population of over one million.

Renowned for its eventful and colourful history, art that transcends time and its inherent beauty, the city offers a lifestyle enriched by a vast cultural patrimony. The city was founded between the 6th and 7th centuries BC with a dual function: not only was it an important port, it was primarily a holiday resort for patrician families. The city is adorned with beautiful churches, monuments, palaces, castles, theatres, parks and a mesmerising skyline and landscape. Its proximity to all the most beautiful tourist spots including Sorrento, Capri, Ischia, Positano and Amalfi makes it an excellent point of departure for all visitors.
