The best way to see Naples is on foot, and there’s a lot you can discover in a day, as many of the city’s attractions are located close to one another.  Here’s a walking tour of Naples in a day. Start at the city’s central railway station, Piazza Garibaldi, which is where you arrive if, for example, you’re getting to Naples from Rome for the day. From the station, take Corso Umberto I, one of Naples’ busiest shopping streets.

Then, turning slightly to the right, you reach Via Duomo, your first stop to see the Cathedral of Naples. You’re in the very heart of the historic center. This is a church that is very dear to Neapolitans as it is dedicated to the cult of San Gennaro, patron saint of the city, and it guards the ‘Treasure of San Gennaro’. But first, take a moment to admire the majestic facade.
