Naples

This small, humble city located in Campania is one of the oldest inhabited urban areas in the world! Although Naples is primarily known for its riveting food scene, it is also home to some of world's most important pieces in art and architecture.

No trip this southern city is complete without stepping into the grandiose Royal Palace and Castel Nuovo, built during the 13th century. For art connoisseurs, Caravaggio's The Seven Works of Mercy is displayed in the Pio Monte della Misericordia while an extensive art collection of Roman art can be seen at the National Archaeological Museum. As the origin of pizza and spaghetti, make sure to stuff your bellies before leaving, too!
