4 Days
Naples is a unique city in the world: sunny and mysterious, with a great heritage full of monuments, museums and churches, real artistic and historical treasures. Naples’ historic city centre is the largest in Europe, listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site; It has long been a major cultural centre with a global sphere of influence, particularly during the Renaissance and Enlightenment eras.
Here colors, flavors and come together in a combination which is worth to discover; here the city itself becomes a stage and Neapolitans will be the actors: their strong dialect, identity and pride seem to make them actors in everyday’s life.
