ANYTHING GOES in this city. Drink beer in the street, smoke a doob, etc.
I’ve been told (and I’ve seen it) that the only real industry in Naples is the wedding business, because the young people get married young and have a kid as early as possible in order to live off the government.
Naples is also a beautiful city, don’t get me wrong. But the only reason people stop by there is because a short ferry ride away is the famed Amalfi Coast – Sorrento, Pompeii/Vesuvius, Capri, etc. I highly urge the same tactic.
Note on safety – watch the movie “Gomorrah” (link below) and stick to the “touristy” areas. Yes, the food is not great thanks to the high influx of tourists. Train station safety may be iffy. Bull-rushing your way through crowds with your luggage may be the safest idea. If you have small children you’ll have to choose between losing them or your luggage. Enjoy.
