Naples 2021

My wife and I are visiting Italy for 9 days at the end of August/beginning of September (we're an active, foodie couple in our 40s). We'll spend the first few nights in Rome and then are looking at what to do for the last 6 nights of our trip. She's been to the North of Italy before, so tops on my list are going to Naples and the Amalfi Coast. A couple questions:

Should we expect lots of tourists along the coast from Aug Aug 30 - Sept 5? Or will summer crowds have receded by then?

And if it will be crowded, might it be better to base ourselves in Salerno instead of one of the smaller/more touristy spots? *I'm actually considering staying in Salerno regardless of crowd sizes, so we can experience a more 'real' Italy but still have access to the picturesque towns.

Any other suggestions appreciated! Thanks~

Thanks!

From this wonderful article on this complex, historic, endlessly fascinating city: “The day begins in a playground of lost kingdoms where 27 centuries of art and civilisation, dereliction and beauty co-exist.”

Hi all, we have the pure joy of a month to explore Italy by car this autumn (covid etc dependant). We have a few of the obvious places to visit; Venice, Florence, Amalfi Coast (likely the furthest south we will go) but to join these up we are looking at “non obvious” aka not big city places to stop. Somewhere with beautiful views or old villages to explore, places with beautiful hotels or hideaway gites to stay.

We will travel from the north, likely Pisa / Florence first, then work down South until Naples so particularly looking for suggestions in this area. It’s a round trip so we go Naples back up with some stops (east coast perhaps?) to Venice, Como and home

Many thanks!

Hi everybody !

I have a layover in Naples on my way to Albania and I’ve never been so I was hoping to visit. However, I arrive at 5 pm and depart the next day at 3:30pm. Considering that my hotel is a 7 minute walk from the airport and that I have a small backpack as carryon (that I’ll probably leave at the hotel), can I visit Naples between 5pm and 9pm the day I arrive and 8am to 12/1pm the next day?

Do you have any recommandations on things I absolutely can’t miss? And obviously, can anybody recommend a must-eat-at pizzeria?

Additionally, if someone has any insight on the whole pickpocketing situation (is it really as bad as they say? What should I avoid doing or what should I do to stay safe, beside the basic 101 of keeping my wallet close on me, etc).

Thank you so much !

We are planning to visit Italy this September, going to Amalfi and Capri. We are planning on flying to Naples airport and from there going to Amalfi to stay for a few days and take a day tour to Capri. Another option would be going from Naples to Capri and from there to Amalfi. Which of the two would be a better choice? Woukd appreciate anh input

We're considering a trip to Naples, then over to Sorrento/Positano/Amalfi before heading to San Cipriano Picentino for a night. SCP is my ancestral home. We're thinking ferry or train from Naples to Sorrento, then bus around the AC as needed and staying in different areas for a night or two.

What's the best way to get to the village of SCP outside of Salerno? Are taxis or Uber/Lyft options?

Would you recommend flying from Venice to Naples, taking a train or driving and stopping 1/2 way for a few nights in Tuscany (our original plan).

We fly into Venice for a few nights and then out of Naples. Originally was planning on spending 1/3 of our trip in Venice, 1/3 in Tuscany area and 1/3 around Amalfi Coast. Now I'm leaning towards longer time in Venice to day trip and longer time in AC area.

Hello and thanks in advance. We are going on a cruise in October that does not have enough Italy so want to fly over Early (6-7 days) and get a VRBO or Air BnB and take day trips and do day experiences.. Do you think we will be ok? If we book tours will we be able to navigate getting to where they meet? Will we make out ok in grocery stores? DO they have or do we need Uber or something similar? Are there areas to look for or avoid when seeking housing?Any suggestions or tips of things to do or day tours from Naples would be appreciated- especially ones you have done. Thanks so much- I know I have asked a lot of questions..any answers to any questions greatly appreciated.

PS. We have been to Tuscany area before and some other cities so decided to base here. Might be interested in a cooking experience one day if anyone wants to guide us on that as well

Hello! Flying into Rome (no other option) and trying to figure out a couple of challenges:

1. Do we stay in Sorrento and launch tours of Capri and the AC from there or do we stay in Positano? (We won’t have a car)

2. What’s the best way to get to either city from Rome? I’ve heard take a train to Naples but from there I have no clue. I’ve also heard to take the train to Salerno but they would require a connection in Naples and tbh I’m nervous about public transport from there.

Suggestions? TIA!

Hello everyone

Thanks for any help you can provide with this planning query. We plan to visit 4 places over 10 days late March next year. For few different reasons we have to do those 4 places and have only 10 days. Therefore I am looking for the best/efficient way to get these places. Our flight in and out is from Rome. We need to visit friends/ business in Venice, Tuscany and Naples. My initial thought was to stay in Rome for couple of days then travel to Venice then Tuscany , Naples and back to Rome via direct train. But wanted to see if we should instead travel first to Venice, then Tuscany, Naples and finally Rome to make the flight out easier? We are hoping to take flights and train but could get a car if need be especially thinking of Tuscany. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again
