Some of the most tourist streets, full of businesses, museums, and monuments, are mainly the Via Toledo, via Chiaia and Via San Gregorio Armento: The famous street of the “artisans of births”, where mangers are sold throughout the year, of All sizes, types and colors, built with the most unusual and original materials: The greatest feature of these Napoletan births is that new statues and figures are introduced every year, which can also represent politicians or other public figures, really fun to find mangers with Barak Obama, Maradona, George Clooney or Berlusconi.

Some Tips to Visit Naples:

Pay Close Attention to Traffic Because it is Totally Chaotic: There are many cars, many of them go at high speed, there are mopeds that run everywhere with two, three and up to four people mounted !, and not all citizens respect traffic lights and pedestrian passages If you find it difficult to cross the street (it sounds exaggerated, but you need to live it in your own flesh to understand how difficult it is to do it in this city) I recommend that you cross the moment a Neapolitan does it, that they do it safely and normally.

A lot of caution with taking Photos or Commenting: Even jokingly about the problems that the city is facing with garbage, it really is a problem quite felt by the Neapolitans, this is not going to be a good “conversion issue” for them.

Get a Map of the City: In the tourist office at the railway station they give them for free because the streets are very narrow and labyrinthine, it is very easy to lose orientation. Anyway, if this happens do not worry because people are gentle, and if you get lost (also if you do not understand anything with bus lines) they will help you with great sympathy.

If you use the buses and metro, never get on them without having a ticket, as there are frequent controls, even late at night, and if they find you without a ticket, they will make you have a bad time, in addition to having to pay a salty fine. You can buy tickets at any tobacco shop and in some bars in the city, and you must validate them as soon as you get on the bus.

An alternative method (and quite comfortable) to get to know the city is to take the tourist bus called “City-sightseeing”, those two-story rooftops, which go around the entire city, making stops at the major attractions. The main stop of these buses is in the Municipality Square, but you can start the tour at any of its intermediate stops.
