Nightlife of Naples
In terms of nightlife, it appears that Naples is becoming increasingly popular for younger people. This is true for both Italians and tourists. Hence, increasing numbers of facilities are available for a good night out in Naples. Some people say the conditions in Naples are not suitable for a good night out, but it seems this isn’t deterring people to flood the city, giving the nightlife renewed vitality.
The place to see and be seen is the Piazza Bellini. There are many bars and cafes here where the vast majority of party revelers flock to. There is also the Piazza San Domenico Maggiore, as well as the Piazza Santa Maria la Nova. These two become very busy after 11pm. There are also many bars and pubs near the port area, as well as on the Lungomare (boardwalk) of Pozzuoli.
One other thing that people like to do at night is sleep. Luckily, Naples has a range of hotels, bed and breakfasts and guest houses available. Naples is far cheaper than other cities in the north of Italy, and most certainly cheaper than Rome. However, the quality of accommodation can leave something to be desired. In fact, there will frequently not be any hot water, power cuts are common and the bed linen and towels can be quite old and tough. Furthermore, many of the budget hotels do not have a bathtub or even a shower, instead offering guests a hold in the centre of the bathroom with a showerhead somewhere along the walls. Naturally, even the most basic of accommodation does offer guests a toilet and sink.
If, after a good night out, you are hoping for a hearty breakfast, you may also be disappointed. Usually, breakfasts consists of powdered orange drinks, hard meats, cheeses and hard rolls. This is not designed at discouraging visitors, but rather at preparing your for authentic Neapolitan culture.
