Naples city break guide: What to see, eat and do and why now is the time to go

Planning a Naples city break? We've got you covered. The birthplace of pizza and the largest city in southern Italy, Naples is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating places in Europe.  The historical centre of Naples is the largest in Europe and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. It's packed full of ancient churches and staggeringly large catacombs, and Pompeii is just a short drive away. Along with its history and arts scene, Naples is known for its food culture, including wood-fired, doughy pizza, Ragù Napoletano, and affordable street food. Join presenter Portia Jones and producer Luke Jones as we share the best things to do in Naples, from a street-food tour and a sunset spritz to opulent palaces, museums, and churches filled with treasures.  You'll also hear about Mercure's Discover Local program, including their 50th Birthday Bucket List Edition, spotlighting 50 incredible food and drink experiences designed to help you feel like a local. From riverside punts to historic quadrangles and winding streets, Oxford is a city to wander, taste, and explore. Join us for an immersive guide to the best sights, eats, and experiences in this unforgettable city. Huge thanks to Mercure Hotels for supporting this episode of Travel Goals.
