About Naples
Located in southern Italy, Naples is one of the most ancient cities in Europe, and its current urban fabric preserves a selection of outstanding elements of its long and eventful history. This is evident in its street pattern, its wealth of historic buildings and parks, its wonderful setting on the Bay of Naples and the continuity of its historical stratification. Since 1995, almost the entirety of the historic center of Naples, approximately 1,021 hectares, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With Greek origins that predate even the Romans, combined with its history as a port city, Naples boasts a distinct cultural flavor.
The most authentic experiences in Naples can be discovered through its public transportation system, which includes city buses, funicular lines, regional buses, Metro Lines 1, 2 and 6, Circumvesuviana, Circumflegrea and Cumana train lines. A must-visit metro station is “Toledo”, considered the crowning jewel of the “Art Stations” of the Naples Metro, located on the iconic Via Toledo in the city’s Spanish Quarter. The dazzling Toledo underground station was even nominated as the most beautiful transit station in Europe by BBC.
