Six spots you shouldn't miss on your first trip.
Museo Archeologico Nazionale

Cappella Sansevero
A small chapel with the famous Veiled Christ (Cristo Velato) sculpture by Giuseppe Sanmartino.
Duomo di Napoli

Napoli Sotterranea
A guided tour beneath the city: ancient Greek-Roman aqueducts and World War II air-raid shelters.
Cimitero delle Fontanelle
A striking ossuary inside old caves. Not for everyone, but quite unlike anywhere else.
What to eat
The city of pizza has a lot more to offer than that.
Pizza Napoletana
Soft dough with a puffy edge, baked in a wood-fired oven. The classic orders are Margherita or Marinara.
Pizza fritta
A fried, calzone-style pizza filled with ricotta and salami. Very filling and often very cheap.
