NAVIGATOR DRINK
DONNA ROMITA A pleasing mixture of cocktail lounge, wine bar and restaurant. Nice cocktail menu and cool location.
ENOTECA BELLEDONNE You are rarely more than 10 minutes from the nearest café or bar in Naples. The Chiaia district has its fair share, such as the rustic wine bar known as Enoteca Belledonne.
SUPERFLY
A funky bar off the tourist trail. Well worth a visit if just to get away from those endless tourists....
ARCHIVIO STORICO
Opening at 8 p.m. and improving the art of drinking in Naples with cocktails based on antique Neapolitan recipes as well as classic American styles, all served in a chic underground network of cosy, intimate grotto rooms.
CULTURAL AFTERNOON
PIO MONTE DELLA MISERICORDIA One of Naples’ more humble buildings, it contains one of Italy’s greatest 17th century paintings, Caravaggio’s Opere della Misericordia.
THE MUSEO ARCHEOLOGICO NAZIONALE This stunningly beautiful building contains hundreds of fascinating relics from Pompeii and Herculaneum, not least the magnificent Toro Farnese, carved from a single marble block. Impressive.
CHURCH OF SANTA CHIARA Located on the Piazza del Gesù with its beautiful spire of Guglia dell’Immacolata this wonderfully peaceful church offers solace from the tourist beaten streets. Visit the 14th-century church, find a quiet corner, light your candle, reflect and think.
CAPODIMONTE NATIONAL MUSEUM AND GALLERY The vast collection at the museum traces its origins back to 1738. During that year King Charles VII of Naples and Sicily (later Charles III, King of Spain) decided to build a hunting lodge on the Capodimonte hill, but then decided that he would instead build a grand palace, partly because his existing residence, the Palace of Portici, was too small to accommodate his court, and partly because he needed somewhere to house the fabulous Farnese art collection which he had inherited from his mother.
PIAZZA DEL PLEBISCITO Physically prepare yourself and head out across the sprawling Piazza del Plebiscito, dominated by the Pantheonesque church of San Francesco di Paolo until you hit the Gulf of Naples, overshadowed by Vesuvius in the distance. Great walk, great views and perfect photo opportunities.
NAPLES CATHEDRAL At the top of a hill is the famous church where the city’s faithful flock in their thousands three times a year to see the ‘miracle’ of San Gennaro, when the blood of the city’s patron saint is said to liquify. On March 21, 2015, the blood in the vial appeared to liquify during a visit by Pope Francis, a sign of the saint’s favour.

BUCKET LIST
FANTASIA GELATI Put on your shades and wander along Via Chiaia to the garish pinkness of Fantasia Gelati. A generous dollop of Naples’ best ice cream is €3.
POMPEII Don’t miss this famous historic site. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area was buried under 4 to 6m of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Before you go checkout
pompeiisites.org. We’d definitely recommend hiring a guide, more relaxing and worth the money.
FUNICULAR One thing worth doing before you leave Naples is catching the funicular from Montesanto or Via Toledo to Vomero and visiting Castel Sant’Elmo. From its rooftop you just may have an inkling as to why everybody should see Naples at least once in their lifetime.
CAVES
At 130 feet below, wonders of the ancient world are revealed, as the Napoli Sotterranea organisation’s tour (€10) takes you into a maze of caves that stretches under the city and even further out. Carved into the volcanic tuff bedrock by the Greeks in the 4th century B.C. The 90-minute tour guides visitors past a Greek-Roman theatre where Nero once performed, and through the archaic hollows where Neapolitans took shelter during World War II air raids.
