Naples, unique and exuberant, captivates the visitor with popular local traditions such as the ‘Tarantella’ – Naples’ famous folk dance – and ‘smorfia’, the Neapolitan’s superstitious use of numerology to interpret dreams.
Walking through the picturesque narrow streets of the Spanish quarter gives snapshots of Naples’ life: the melodious accent of passers-by and shop owners, the mouth-watering smells emerging from the numerous trattorias. Wood-burning pizzerias at every street corner should come as no surprise – the pizza was of course born here.
Naples is also a city rich in art and architecture, with numerous churches, palaces and museums to visit. Not to be missed is a walk along the ‘lungomare’- esplanade - to view the broad sweep of the Bay of Naples, dominated by the looming Mt. Vesuvius.
