Visit Naples and its Presepi street
It is possible, and not only during the Christmas period, to see the traditional art of nativity scenes, typical of the city of Naples. The nativity scene became something much more artistic, influenced by the Baroque style of the time. This street, located in the historic center, is in a way an exhibition center for artists, thus making Presepi, the symbol of the Neapolitan nativity scene and above all a must to visit in Naples .
What to see in Naples: The Spanish Quarter
The Spanish Quarter, or “quartieri spagnoli” in Italian, is part of the historic heart of Naples and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Spagnoli neighborhood is a trip to Italy the neighborhood of the Spanish, at least it used to be. It is currently that of Neapolitans and, increasingly, that of tourists. This neighborhood to visit in Naples is very lively and also typical. This is where you will find the most people chatting on the sidewalk, Neapolitans gently cursing each other from afar and clotheslines hanging from one window to another. It really is a great place, great for walking and eating, that you have to put on your list of what to see in Naples.

Surprising to find such a museum in the heart of old Naples. The works and installations fit perfectly into this ancient palace, far from these alleys so full of life and history in the center of Naples. The Donnaregina Art Museum, or MADRE, is a contemporary art museum. It owes its name to the building in which it is installed, the Palazzo Donnaregina, one of the palaces in the historic center. I strongly suggest modern art lovers put this museum on their list of things to do in Naples .

What to see in Naples: The panoramic view of Castello Sant’Elmo
Castello Sant’Elmo is a medieval castle and museum, located on Vomero Hill, in Naples, Italy . It’s the ideal place to admire the city from 360 degrees. As it was foggy, I couldn’t see the island of Capri, but I was still able to see the Vesuvius volcano in the distance. It can be accessed by a funicular served by public transport in the city of Naples and entry to the castle is only €5. The castle is worth putting on your list of what to see in Naples if you are the type to try to find the best views of the cities you visit.
