I walked down the port towards the city and just in front was the Castle Nuovo, which I decided to visit later as it was on my way back. I headed straight and you come across the busy parts of the city. Keep moving and then towards your right is where Centro Storico is located. You have Palazzo Reale, The... More

If you visit Naples don't miss a wander through the old centre - via Tribunali and the two roads that run parallel to it. It's here that you will find the best authentic pizza and coffee, many ancient churches and real atmosphere. Just hand onto your handbags, avoid motor scooters and cars that tear around the narrow streets, and soak... More

Naples is dirty. I know dirty having grown up in some dirty places, and I still thought it was dirty. Having established that this walk was a walk through dirtiness, I would say that Centro Storico is not nearly as impressive as many of its Italian counterparts and authorities seem to make little effort to maintain the areas themselves.

Wander the streets of the Centro Storico, look beyond the grime and sense the beauty and age of these crumbling buildings. Perhaps purchase a pair of shoes or boots in softest leather, or maybe stop for a coffee or drink at one of the many bars and cafes in the area. Cafe Dei Professori (the one closest to the entrance... More

Genuine "unreconstructed" place, gritty/grimy in places - but real! In the evening you can find fresh fish stalls selling tripe and seafood, whilst people sit and watch Football, on plastic garden chairs "Tiralli Caldi".
