The fact that Naples is the city where the now ubiquitous pizza was invented makes it all the more interesting to people who travel from all over the world to bask in its casual charm.
Situated near the Bay of Naples and surrounded by the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius, Naples has been richly blessed by nature. In fact, its delicate natural beauty provides an excellent backdrop to the ancient relics that are a wonderful reminder of the glorious past of Naples. Interesting museums, baroque churches, Renaissance structures and crowded places make up the whole fabric of Naples that is a chaotic wonder. Some famous places you can visit include the National Archeological Museum of Naples, the Duomo, Castel dell'Ovo, Castle Nuovo and the Spaccanapoli.
