UK travelers seeking to visit Naples will have the best luck booking flights from London, which offers the best availability and fares. Naples International Airport is the city’s main airport. Located in southern Italy, the capital of Campania, Naples is halfway between the Vesuvius volcano and the Phlegraean Fields. Naples is ancient, nearly 3000 years old. It has a typical Mediterranean climate with warm to hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters.
Naples is famous for its art and culture, especially music, including the invention of the romantic guitar and the mandolin. Neapolitan musicians have also made strong contributions to opera and folk standards.
Naples is home to many historical museums, including the Naples National Archaeological Museum is, considered one of the most important for artifacts of the Roman Empire in the world. The museum also houses many of the antiques discovered at Pompeii and Herculaneum, as well as some artifacts from the Greek and Renaissance periods.
Probably the most important museum in Naples, however, is the Museo di Capodimonte, a museum and art gallery. The gallery features paintings from the thirteen to eighteenth centuries, including major works of Luca Giordano, and Jusepe de Ribera of the Neapolitan School, and also works by El Greco, Caravaggio, Titian, Raphael, and Simone Martini.
The majority of people of Naples are Catholics, their city home to the Archdiocese of Naples. The cathedral is the site of the yearly Miracle of St. Januarius, Naples’s patron saint. In this ritual, the dried blood of Januarius is reputed to turn to liquid when brought close to his relics. Many Neapolitans regard this annual miracle as sacred.
But the one thing Naples is known for around the world is pizza. The making of pizzas is strictly regulated by local law. The pizza is cooked in a wood-burning oven. The dough must be made from wheat flour type “00″ with the addition of “0″ type yeast, and natural water. The sauce may be made from peeled tomatoes or fresh cherry tomatoes, sea salt, and extra virgin olive oil. Another world-famous Neapolitan dish is spaghetti, typically eaten with a ragu. Neapolitan cuisine is known for its use of local ingredients. The city is also famous for gelato, the lighter, dairy dessert, and limoncello, a popular lemon liqueur.
The history of Naples goes back three millennia, making it even older than Rome. Naples has endured the Greeks, the Romans, and the Plague, and then a succession of kings from Spain and France. But it has not just survived, it has changed and thrived. If you are already planning a visit to Italy, visit Naples, too. Or make Naples your entire vacation. The city has much to offer you, especially its wonderful, simple food and wine, and UK visitors will be more than just happy if they make their stay a day, a week, a month, or more.
