With so many excellent places to visit, a quick glance at some of the best cities to visit in Italy can make your trip planning that much smoother.
Let’s take a look at some of the best urban Italy destinations to explore during your vacation in Italy.
When it comes to food, pizza is Italy’s ambassador to the world. Tucking into a warm slice of pizza is to take a bite of the Italian dream. There are many different types of pizza to order but there’s only one pizza above all others in terms of its taste, history, craft, and simplicity: Neapolitan pizza.
The tradition of Neapolitan pastry can’t be denied — hundreds of years of effort and craft have gone into the creation and evolution of fabulous Neapolitan desserts. While the Neapolitan pastry is known worldwide, Italian pastries aren’t the only thing you can find in Naples — there is a wide variety of tremendous Italian desserts to sample while you’re there.
You may have traveled to the Campania region to experience the archeological wonders of Pompeii, or the serene beaches of the Amalfi coast. Or maybe you have traveled by train from Rome to Naples for the pizza and the exquisite pastries.
Just over an hour from Rome by train, Naples sits under the rumbling watch of Mount Vesuvius, a city steeped in history. A rich agricultural zone due to its volcanic soil, Naples food is famous the world over. Most well-known for pizza, the city also has a reputation for amazing Italian desserts, including the famous Neapolitan pastries.
There are 25 tracks at Naples' Centrale station, serving about 137,000 people per day with daily service to cities all over Italy. Centrale is also connected to an underground station called Napoli Piazza Garibaldi, which is served by Naples' Metro Line 2 and the Circumvesuviana trains that connect Naples with Sorrento, Pompeii, Herculaneum, and other towns in the region.
