Morning

Fly into Naples International Airport (NAP). Take the Alibus shuttle (€5, 20 minutes) to Piazza Garibaldi. Naples is the most chaotic, most alive, most authentic city in Italy — the birthplace of pizza, the home of the Camorra, and the gateway to the Amalfi Coast. Start at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale (€15) — the finest collection of Roman antiquities in the world, including the treasures from Pompeii and Herculaneum. The Alexander Mosaic (from the House of the Faun in Pompeii) and the Farnese Hercules are extraordinary.

Afternoon

The historic centre (Centro Storico) — a UNESCO World Heritage site, the best-preserved Greco-Roman street grid in the world. Spaccanapoli (the street that splits Naples) runs for 2km through the heart of the old city. The Cappella Sansevero (€8) — a private chapel with the Veiled Christ (1753), a marble sculpture so realistic that 18th-century visitors refused to believe it was stone. The veil is carved from a single block of marble.

Evening

Pizza at Pizzeria Da Michele on Via Cesare Sersale — the most famous pizzeria in the world (established 1870, featured in Eat Pray Love). Two options only: Margherita (€5) or Marinara (€4.50). Queue is 30-60 minutes; arrive at 6pm for the shortest wait. Or Sorbillo on Via dei Tribunali — the other great Neapolitan pizzeria, more variety, equally good.

Where to Stay

Stay in the historic centre or Chiaia. Recommended: Hotel Romeo (luxury, harbour views) or Costantinopoli 104 (mid-range, beautiful courtyard).
