11 Things to do in Naples in one day

Are you going to Naples? Do you just have one day or 24 hours to visit the biggest city of Southern Italy? Do you wanna enjoy the real Taste of Italy?
Diaries of an explorer

In this post I will show you a possible one-day trip itinerary and the top 11 things to do in Naples in one day.
Starting point: the international airport Napoli Capodichino. Once outside the airport you can take the Alibus and head to the central railway station for 3 Euros (one way ticket). You can reach the port but I would suggest you to stop at the railway station and walk along Corso Umberto I, one of the main streets of Naples. Then along Via De Pretis you can finally get to Piazza del Plebiscito, one of the city symbols.

Before visiting the main landmarks of Piazza del Plebiscito, the first tip is to reach Via Acton and enjou the sightseeing of the Naples bay with the Volcan Vesuvio. Unfortunately that day it was cloudy and rainy so the volcan was not visible.

  6. Excellent!
    To commute from one point to another, do I need to take a bus or can I do all these places on foot/by walk?

  7. Hi Apurva! thanks for stopping by here! :-) Well I walked along the entire itinerary and I strongly recommend you to do so. It's the best thing to explore the city and live the city and its atmosphere. However, there could be some parts where you could take the bus too.I'm going to draw the itinerary soon.

  19. Hei Gennaro! Thanks for your valuable info :-) Maybe this can be good if you stay more than one day in Naples so you have more time to visit also the cemetery :-)
