So interesting fact: everyone told me not to go to Naples, that it would be a waste of my time. They were wrong, everyone was wrong. I loved Naples, and I’m so happy I didn’t listen to them.
Naples isn’t as “touristy” as Rome was, which was nice. We could walk away from the city in Rome and still hear people speaking English, but it wasn’t like that in Naples. People were only speaking Italian and the people there were so extremely nice.
The building to the right, in the picture, was where I was staying. It was in a nice area, right next to the metro stop.
The following pictures are just bits and pieces of the beautiful city, Naples. We saw a castle, which was amazing, and the best part was how the locals would run through it as part of their daily run. I would love to run through a castle as part of my daily jog!
My traveling group and I had one of the best restaurant experiences all through out our trip in Italy, but my personal favorite was in Naples. We came across a pizzeria, which was closed at the time, well we started talking to the owner and ended up telling him we’d be back for dinner. So of course we go there for dinner. The moment we arrive the owner gets real excited and starts putting all the tables that are in the restaurant (2) together to form one big table. He handed out menus, asked if we would like appetizers, and of course we say yes! He was friendly and geniuely happy to serve us! All I have to say is the Margherita pizza was one of the best I had in Italy! It was fresh and delicious!
All of this to say, everybody NEEDS to visit Naples!

I wasn’t able to visit Mount Vesuvius, but I was able to capture a picture of it from afar.
