Did you know

Naples has over 200 historic staircases linking hill and sea

Carved into the city’s steep terrain, they connect neighbourhoods, reveal unexpected views and turn every walk into a slow unfolding of the landscape.

The historic centre of Naples is one of the largest in Europe

A dense weave of churches, palaces, workshops and narrow streets, it preserves over two millennia of layered history – still alive, noisy and inhabited.
