For several years now, Naples has been one of the most renowned tourist destinations in all of southern Europe. A record to be proud of, especially if we consider that just over a decade ago the city was viewed by many with a veil of prejudice and negativity. Nowadays, arrivals at Capodichino airport have increased tenfold, reaching numbers that make it one of the busiest airports nationwide. If you, like millions of others, have planned a trip to Naples, it will be our pleasure and honor to welcome you in the best possible way to the Neapolitan city.

But why exactly should you decide to rent a car for your trip to Naples?

Is it worth renting a car?

The biggest city in Campania is without a doubt a chaotic and frenetic one. A marvelous disorder that is reflected also in the public transport system, which, although constantly improving to meet the ever-increasing public transport needs of tourists and residents, is still not as super-efficient as in many other large cities in Italy and around the world.

Relying on transport, therefore, can often prove to be a risk not worth taking. Naples is also one of the few cities that you can still visit independently, moving almost everywhere with your own car, with fewer traffic lights and ZTLs than in other metropolises. What’s more, although the city’s busiest areas certainly do not have a good reputation for driving pleasure, there are numerous districts that are absolutely accessible and very easy to reach on four wheels.

Places to visit and things to do

A nice drive along the waterfront is just what you need to reconcile your soul with the art and scenic beauty of our country. Along this road, you will find the Castel dell’Ovo and the Castel Nuovo, the two majestic fortresses that embellish the maritime panorama of the Neapolitan city, two absolute must-see destinations during your stay.

Then, how can we not mention the wonderful Piazza del Plebiscito, with the Royal Palace and Via Chiaia just a few steps away. An itinerary to be followed on foot, just like via Toledo, will lead you to Piazza Dante and the historical center. Here the culture and historical-religious architecture will surely capture your attention, with the incomparable beauty of Piazza del Gesù and the Church of Santa Chiara with its cloister. The highlight for art history and sculpture enthusiasts is certainly the Veiled Christ, exhibited in the chapel of San Severo, a guided tour that should, however, be booked several days in advance.

There is an abundance of street food and typical products in Naples, so you will certainly have no difficulty in finding a good pizza or local fried delicacies. Among the most popular historic pizzerias are the very old pizzeria Port’Alba, Da Michele, Sorbillo and many others. With a little help from your hired vehicle, you can also move easily around the Neapolitan hinterland, reaching popular destinations such as the excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
