Naples (Napoli if you live there) is raucous, polluted, anarchic, deafening, crumbling and aristocratic. It's also a lot of fun. Superbly positioned on a bay, Naples screams with energy, pulsating with noisy street markets and colourful characters.
Naples has a bad reputation for crime; petty theft is rife and tourists are targeted. Travellers should keep an eye out for bag-snatchers and pickpockets; use common sense to avoid any risks and heed local advice for areas of the city to avoid.
