🎒Historic center (Spaccanapoli area)
📋 The Bottom Line
Naples offers unparalleled Italian culture, amazing food, and Neapolitans who absolutely adore children. However, the city presents significant challenges: narrow streets, volcanic stone cobbles, chaotic traffic, and hilly terrain. The historic center is a UNESCO site but largely inaccessible. The waterfront areas and modern districts are much more manageable. This is a city where flexibility and a carrier backup are essential.
