I got one year left out here. I hate this place with every ounce of my soul. I really don't see the beauty in drinking contaminated water, or breathing this polluted air. Maybe its the burning garbage on every street that some people find interesting but for me never again!!!! I don't like driving down the street and smelling 16 different toxic, rotting, decaying odors:(
Be careful to avoid the bad areas of this region. (After all, you'd have a pretty bad impression of southern California if you only stayed in East LA.) The bad area is the train station and some areas in Spaccanapoli. If you stay away from there, the city and environs is a true gem. The ancient ruins of Pompeii along with many many more are ...

I visited Naples as a second stop in my first trip to Italy, and I find alot of what I expected in it...just regular people living their daily lives like anyone else in any city around the world. However, there are alot of redeeming qualities that make Naples still a worthy place to visit: Mt. Vesuvius, Pompeii, Capri, the Phlaegrean Fields, ...
Changed trains in Naples stazione from Roma to Salerno and were promptly mugged (thief failed then screamed at us until he was given a few coins). Nonetheless we walked outside to get a feel for Naples and was completely put off by the filth, chaotic traffic even Romans would blink at, and the third world look of the city at large.
Naples ...

bella citta

I love the food in naples, its so fresh and full of flavour the weather also is beautiful.I got married there in february and it felt like summer hmmmn...gorgeous. What I really dont fancy about naples is that you hardly can find a car without a scratch and also too many reckless motor bikes zooming past u.(Motorino as italians would say)
lets say.....i have never been there, but i will in a few months...im gonna study fashion design, i read a lot of reviews and...ill go anyways! i live in Panama City in latin america...and traffic jam here is huuuuuge, i think i might like Naples and all its imperfection (people says) maybe for me it gonna be just perfect!

The people, the stink, the everything. but there were some nice historic building to see.... but not worth it to be here just for that. I would feel bad for anyone who would book a holiday trip here. I had to be here for work....never again. better to go stay in a smaller village outside far away from the city. Only need one day to see it.

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/12/08
so i was reading through all these reviews and while some were positive, most however were not..they were just filled with reasons why napels is horrible...but in my opinion its one of the most beautiful places in the world. Yes i know its not perfect, but thats what gives it character and life, and in all my 3 years living here nobody has ever ...

A misunderstood city- but high marks from me
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/27/07
For instance, when I stayed in Rome I enjoyed the food. The sauce clung to the pasta al dente. In Naples, my seafood spaghetti's sauce was either too light or the pasta not cooked enough. Naples is not the perfect city or trying to serve as the perfect tourist destination... and the pizza is forgettable to what I think is the perfection of a ...

NAPOLI NAPOLI
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/09/07
I lived in Naples, Italy for 2 years. I am a 23 year old female. I love this city. There is always something to do and so much history there. The people that live there are so proud to come from here! The city does take some getting use to. The night life is great. The driving is crazy but it works. Very fast paced but over all just amazing!
