r/napoli

Hey there!

A couple of friends and I will be in Naples during the first week of September and we want to do a day trip to Pompeii. We will have a rental car with us. What is the best way to visit Pompeii from Naples?

1. Take the car and park somewhere. Book a longer guided tour of Pompeii and Vesuvius
2. Take the train and book the guided tour of Pompeii and Vesuvius
3. Book a bus tour

that

1. departs from Naples and takes us to Pompeii/Vesuvius. I’ve read that these bus tours can feel a bit rushed and don’t give you as much time on the actual tour?

Any tips would be appreciated! Cheers!!

Ciao :) I’m a 28F living in Naples and lately I’ve been trying to actually experience the city more instead of staying in my routine all the time.

I shoot film photography and have been spending weekends wandering neighborhoods, taking ferries to random places, finding little coffee shops, vintage markets, art events, and trying new food spots. I’m also slowly learning Italian and trying to push myself out of my comfort zone a bit more.

I was wondering if anyone knows of:
- film photography groups
- creative/art communities
- flea or vintage markets
- café or language exchange groups
- local events worth checking out
- or just people who also like exploring Naples this way

Not really looking for tourist stuff — more interested in authentic spots and meeting people who spend time or live here and love the city.

Grazie ❤️

I am arriving Napoli today, and I would like to go for a swim at a beach somewhere. My hostel is around 20 mins from Napoli Centrale.

What are some good beaches to go to? I've looked into Gaiola Beach but it feels a bit far, there's also the Mappatella Beach. Is the distance to Gaiola beach worth it or is Mappatella good enough?

Hi everyone, I'm having a great time in Napoli. I want to buy Mac Baren hand rolling tobacco. I asked at least 10 tabaccheria but I couldn't find it. Do you know any tabaccheria that sells Mac Baren tobacco? Grazie :)

Hi guys!

Around 10 months ago I visited Napoli for a few days. The time was awesome, good food, nothing to complain about.

I also rented a small car for 2 days to visiti Amalfi and Pompeji. I am an experienced driver, was in many countries but this was by far the worst experience I had in Europe😂 (and yes, my rear window got smashed but they couldn‘t steal anything and insurance covered the damage so no big trouble)

Today I received two letters from Comune Di Napoli regarding fines. It says „Circolava nella zona a traffico limitato vialando il divieto di circolazione“ which translates to I drove into a walking only zone? It also says there was a big lightened sign informing about this and I was captured by a camera.

The street is „varco di via mezzocannone“, which is 1-2 streets away from where my hotel was. I don‘t remember any sign, looked up on google streetview, also nothing to see. Just many cars going trough and parking in this street. One letter is from 09:48 in the morning and one from 15:59 in the evening.

Also: exactly in this street I was „forced“ to pay parking money to a mafia parking guard. On the last day I told him I will pay tomorrow but never came back.

I don‘t want to pay this blind, maybe anyone knows if this fine is justified? Has it something to do with the guard?

Kind regards :)

Hi I want to buy some good olive oil in Napoli which is not distributed in supermarkets. Where can I find those? Do you have any tips?

Ciao a tutti,

sapete se il tutor su A16 è impostato a 80 km/h? Ho paura di aver preso una multa perchè viaggiavo a più di 120 km/h

Hi all,

I am coming to Napoli for a day and planning to just walk around, see the main spots, eat local food etc

Bit of a random question would it be weird or disrespectful if I wore a Napoli shirt while I’m here?

I’m an Arsenal fan, but Napoli is my Serie A team and I’ve got a Napoli shirt with Mertens on the back.

I thought it might be fun to wear it around the city, but I also don’t want to look like a tourist pretending to be a local even though i'm sure tourists can be spotted from a mile away.

Also slightly worried I’ll accidentally walk into the wrong area and get held up in an alley by someone asking me to name the 2009 midfield or something.

Grazie!

Salve,
Ho ereditato un immobile a Napoli in una zona centrale, appetibile per affitti a studenti.
Io pero vivo altrove, e torno a Napoli circa per una settimana ogni 2 mesi.
L’idea sarebbe di tenere una camera per me (per quando mi reco a Napoli) e fittare le altre 3 a studenti.
Quanto è fattibile gestire il tutto se non sono in loco? Non vorrei affidarmi a un agenzia che prenderebbe buona parte dei profitti.
Per guasti/riparazioni ho gia i contatti di alcuni professionisti della zona (idraulici, elettricisti etc). Per le visite dei potenziali interessati alle stanze, pensavo di scendere a Napoli per cercare almeno un inquilino, poi per gli altri potrei chiedere (magari dietro piccolo compenso) agli altri inquilini di far vedere la stanza.
Cosa ne pensate?

Hi, just looking for some advice/ help with planning. My partner and I are staying in Naples for 1 night before we head to Ischia, we will be arriving from the airport to central station at around 9pm or a bit later. I have been trying to do research but its such a mixed bag, we are staying about a 15 minute walk from the station and in Centro Storico. Will we be okay walking from the central station to this area at night with our bags? I have seen so many posts that are making me very worried and am looking for some advice as to whether I should be booking a taxi to drop us outside the door, although I can't really afford the extra expense.

Basically I am very much winding myself up and I don't know what to do. Any help much appreciated. Thank you!

I am planning a vaction to Napoli in the summer with my girlfriend and I found a place that is affordable and meets my criteria (close to airport among several others). The place is close to Spiaggia di Miseno and I wanted to hear what your thoughts are on this beach. We will be going in the middle of August and we both would love a sandy beach with nice clean water. What are your thoughts, if you can help me please!
