By far one of my favorite places. I feel like I belong here. Napoli has my heart. I stayed in centro storico the historic center of Naples , mount Vesuvius was 15 minutes away. What a beautiful walk to see the volcano and the beach . Naples is old and mysterious. The people are kind and wonderful. I met friends I’ll have for a life time. All the beautiful islands are a ferry away. Capri ischia and procida are quite a few that I have visited and are a must to spend time at.
Posted: November 13, 2023Best place to be in the summer. Lots of things to do and cheaper than other places in Italy. You can also do day trips by boat to many islands that are usually expensive to stay in, such as Capri, Ischia.
Posted: October 26, 2023Experienced: July, 2023I went this past April as a solo traveler and I honestly didn't like Naples, at all. I was miserable the whole time. I will say Napoli has the best food out of everywhere I tried in Italy (Florence, Rome, Amalfi, Venice) the pizza is out of this world. But the vibe isn't it. It's really dirty, lots of graffiti and I didn't feel safe to be walking around at night as a solo traveler.
Posted: September 18, 2023I went to Naples on a solo trip I had so much fun exploring the cobblestone streets and eating all the Sfogliatella. The weather wasn’t the best but still managed to do 90% of the things I wanted. My itinerary included Hiking Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum, Pompeii, and the Monastery of Santa Chiara.
Posted: August 10, 2023I went to Naples solo and felt absolutely fine. The people were really nice. Trains were easy to use as well. I stayed in a lovely monastery on a hill in the city with beautiful views over the bay of Naples.
Posted: August 8, 2023I went to Naples on a day trip from Rome and generally felt safe, especially on the crowded streets and near tourist attractions. The only time I personally felt unsafe during the day was when I was walking down a couple of quiet, narrow roads. I did not feel safe walking around as a woman at night, and I ended up spending the last few hours of the day in the train station to avoid having to navigate the city at night.
Posted: July 31, 2023I went to Naples last year with my boyfriend while traveling Italy. Of all places we’ve been, I felt the most unsafe in Naples for sure. I would not solo travel there myself. I recommend staying away from the neighborhood around the train station, that’s where I felt the most unsafe. The city was definitely worth a visit, even if it was only for the pizza.
Posted: July 30, 2023I'd highly recommend Naples. It was super inexpensive, I stayed in a cute Airbnb that was right in the old city (4 nights there was the same price as one night in Rome), and lots of fun things to do. I was hesitant to go because everyone said it was dirty/dangerous but I didn't feel that way at all.
Posted: July 19, 2023Naples was the only place I have been in Europe that I wouldn’t go back to, felt very unsafe around there walking and using the public transport and it wasn’t a very clean city (rubbish everywhere on the streets).
Posted: July 14, 2023I was only there for 2 days (one day was a tour to Pompeii and Vesuvius) and honestly, there’s nothing that would make me come back. It was dirty, dog poop everywhere, and I felt unsafe. I wanted to go to an ATM and as soon as I got outside I said nope and went back in.
Posted: July 12, 2023I lived in Naples for three years. Living full time somewhere is very different from visiting, and I would encourage any curious traveler to visit Naples, because southern Italy is stunning. Sorrento, Ravello and other parts of the Amalfi Coast are incredibly beautiful and we escaped to them often on weekends. Having said that, Naples does deserve its reputation for trash and crime. The air, water and soil in Naples is so hazardous, expats are advised how to best avoid all three. A visitor won’t experience this, and the city of Naples has a cool waterfront with some great museums and an underground that is well worth seeing. But know that while every large city has its share of grittiness and street crime (Manhattan comes to mind), the higher level of filth in Naples is very real, as is petty theft. But travelers are generally very safe. Somebody might try to steal something from you, but physical violence is extremely rare. I ventured alone into Naples many times, just to take pictures. My only concern ever, was my big camera, not my personal safety.

Hello everyone! 🙋🏻♀️ I'm Diletta, 27 years old, from Naples, IT. I can't wait to make the most of this network! It's not specified, but I'm also open to hosting. The issue is that where I live, it's difficult to reach transportation, so anyone who wants to move around while I'm at work would need to use Uber or a taxi (in addition to sharing the queen-sized bed).

Anyone else having extreme anxiety before traveling solo? This is my first time traveling solo and I have so much anxiety I’m considering just canceling everything and staying home. I’m sure that this is good for me and I will learn alot from this experience but the feeling is the worst. Do you have any advice?
