Naples
The most energetic and authentic of the large Italian cities, Naples is my favorite city in the country. Often passed by and overlooked by travelers, Naples is nearly free of tourists and full of life. Naples also has some of the finest (and most affordable) cuisine that Italy has to give. Southern Italy has a vibe completely different from that in the northern part of the country. Don’t skip this part of Italy!
