Centro Histórico

Introduction

Naples' Historic Centre is a living, vibrant World Heritage old city full of street life. With crisscrossing streets, churches and strong local flavor, it shows Naples' real, passionate southern Italian character, a vivid sight. The Historic Centre of Naples is one of Europe's oldest and most characteristic city centers, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Layered with Greek, Roman and later dynasties, it is a living history museum. Its charm is the interweaving of ancient and vivid, real, strong southern Italian street life: wandering its narrow, long old streets (especially Spaccanapoli, the straight street cutting through the old town), with weathered tall old buildings (laundry on balconies), small shops, pizza places and cafes, and many old, gorgeous churches (Naples has many, rich in art); among the streets are crowds, scooters, street vendors and chatter, a raw, authentic street atmosphere, the most unique, moving charm of this passionate southern city. The old city also hides churches, palaces and street food (Naples is the birthplace of pizza). Visiting Naples and strolling the vivid historic centre to feel real southern Italian life is a vivid sight. (Busy with people and traffic; mind traffic and belongings.)
