The reputation of Napoli being unsafe belongs well and truly in the past. Things have changed a lot over the last 10-15 years…..and even when some areas were going through a dark time, all the good of the city outweighed the “bad” …..everything Napoli is being celebrated for now, it has always had. It has always been a wonderful place.
It has my whole heart. There is nowhere else like it l.
The tourist boom has been kind of a shock but not a surprise, a city like Napoli was never going to be kept in the shadows for long when it has so much to offer.
It’s vibe has no equal and it’s people are the salt of the earth.
The love it receiving now makes me so happy for it. It always deserved this.
Napoli Sotterranea is one of my favourite things to do in the city. It is eternally fascinating.
This was such a beautiful video. Thank you for capturing the soul of Napoli xx
Thank you so much! 😊 That was perfectly explained. I completely agree, there is nowhere else like Naples, and it was such a delightful surprise for me! 🏛🌊
Napoli is gold compared to cities in the US
@@MIkkk86 nowadays it's every big city in the world that's dangerous.... understand?
@@pompei1968 yes, of course
One of the best videos on Naples we’ve seen so far. Thank you!
Thank you so much! 😊
Fantastic, such an interesting view of the beautiful city. And the food………mmmm Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you! ❤
I was stationed in Naples Italy loved it a lot
Video fatto bene, brava nel raccontarne la storia e molto bella anche tu. Vivo a 90 km da Napoli e non ci vado mai. Mi hai convinto. Ciao.
Grazie! 😊

Lovely video. Though biased, as I am Napolitan, Naples is really astonishing by all means. I live abroad but everytime I am back 'home' I enjoy every single minute of this caotic beauty :)
Thanks for the share and glad you liked it
Thank you so much! 😊
This is the most beautiful video about Naples I have seen so far!! I am saving it to watch again and again and take notes. You convinced me!
Thank you so much! ❤
woowee, Olive 🫒😎🌄
that was a cinematic experience, and I think I've never seen you that happy before😄... Naples - why have I never been visiting you??!?
...it all looked exceptional interesting and amazing, beyond what one might expect from that buzzing city... so much variety of neighbourhoods, the caverns were awesome... that car-less broadway with the sunset views 🌇; the star-shaped castle; best food ever... and the melon-something drink🍹(forgot the name) surely contributed to get the euphoria sky-rocketing... even the risk of being run over by a 🛵seems to be a petty worry in the face of such exuberance...
...bella Italia... so much goodness... 🌞🌵🍷🍕💖🌋🌴
PS. almost forgot: your filming was exceptional good, really captured it all... and also the accompanying music worked so well!
👍💖
Thank you so much! 💛🍋
Naples really was a pleasant surprise with a lot to offer, and I didn't even get to visit the surrounding areas: Pompeii, Herculaneum, Mount Vesuvius, Sorrento 🏛🏺🌊... so much to do in the area! It generally had such a great atmosphere and was so different from everything else I've seen in Italy! 😊
PS: The drink was meloncello 🍈, the melon version of limoncello. 😄
This is a delight. I was in Naples many months in the 70s in the Navy. It was mesmerizing to me then, just as it was for you. I never got over it. I never even went to the famous tourist sites out of the city because I never felt the need to leave Naples (this was probably a mistake) . . . So much beauty and history.
Thank you! It must’ve been such an interesting experience to visit and spend some time there back then! 🏛💙
@@oliviaelenat Also, when I go back I will definitely look for Purgatorio Pizza along via Tribunali!
@@oliviaelenat It was fascinating to me back in the 70s. The Spanish Quarter, for instance, looked very different then, almost medieval, and though there was crime there was also a timelessness throughout Naples culture, and joy and art in abundance. I did your walk to St Elmo a few times. Naples was a bright spot of my Navy years.
@@michaelwhite5834 Thank you for sharing your memories! 😊 I can only imagine what the streets must have looked like back then. 🏛 Whenever I visit a place with such rich history, I always wish I could catch a glimpse of how it was in the past. It’s truly fascinating!
Very nice video of my city!
Thank you! 😊
For mysterious reasons, tourists are attracted to the poorest neighborhoods of Naples (which have the almost unique characteristic in Europe of occupying the center and not the outskirts of the city) and they don't even know that a rich city exists.
You have visited a small part of it and you are already an exception, but the truly wealthy residentces are those of via Filangieri and via dei Mille, of Mergellina and Posillipo which no one knows about.
Yet they are very beautiful with their Art Nouveau architecture and represent the city's other side of the coin, as does the majestic Capodimonte woods with the summer palace and its centenary trees (equally ignored).
Yes, I’ve noticed that too! In a way, it’s good that some areas remain more authentic and less crowded, but it often means people miss out on the full picture and judge based only on what’s famous, without even looking around the corner. Thank you for mentioning those areas, I will definitely keep them in mind for when I go back! 😊
@@oliviaelenat
The incredible fact is that these are extremely large areas and not small remote locations; they then connect with the entire so-called "metropolitan city" which includes the islands and reaches up to Sorrento, hosting over three million inhabitants!
Thank you for your lovely attention!
thank you 💙
I loved your video ❤what was the restaurant you love so much can’t find it ! I will be in Naples next September and I would like recommandation! Thank you
Thank you! ❤ The restaurant is called Pizzeria e Trattoria del Purgatorio. Google will only show you the location on Via dei Tribunali, but if you walk around the corner onto the narrow street next to it, you'll find where we were.
@@oliviaelenat ok thank you so much , at the right or the left of the restaurant ?
@@genevievetetrault3061 The street is on the left as you're looking at the restaurant.
@@genevievetetrault3061 make sure, once in Naples to eat at 'Tandem'. It suggests dishes from the typical napolitain cusine. Try the 'ragù' sauce for a deep dive into our culinary history :)
@@felicehomestream1650, thank you 😊I will try it my homestay is literally 1 min walk from the restaurant ! Thank you for the suggestion !
brava
Is the coffee you have 14:04 Caffe Diaz coffee ?
Best coffee in the world 💙 xx
Yes, that's the one! ☕❤
Have you asked to yourself why Naples is not what you expected?
The title reflects that people often have mixed feelings about Naples, which initially set my expectations lower. However, I was so surprised by the city, in a positive way. It actually had so much to offer and I was so happy there!
@@oliviaelenat MI spiace che ti sei fatta condizionare dagli stereotipi e dalle maldicenze di gentaglia ignorante ed invidiosa .....Ma come hai potuto vedere da sola Napoli è passione, amore, sapori colori e odori è storia , magia e leggenda ....poi ci sono le altre città.
@@arturoremotti5923 Purtroppo ci sono troppi graffiti e sporcizia. Se fosse anche pulita, non sarebbe male. Mica basta sole, pizza e ammore...
@@fernweh3726 Roma e Venezia stanno messi molto peggio
@@fernweh3726 per non parlare di genova
it is not dangerous at all, it is like any other big city in europe, if we talk about pickpocketing, street thefts etc. cities like paris or rome could be more dangerous in this sense. if we talk about high-level crime, in this case it is the most dangerous city in europe, but the so-called camorra has nothing to do with the millions of tourists who visit naples. it operates at higher levels.
That was my impression as well! As a tourist, I actually felt safer than in some other European cities 😊
"if we talk about high-level crime, in this case it is the most dangerous city in europe". What are you saying? did you see the camorra in Naples? Why do you say such wrong words? The camorra is maybe everywhere and nowhere, you can't see nothing criminal from camorra in the city. It is just a beautiful city, safe as all other cities in Italy
bellissimo filmato. Complimenti
Grazie! 😊
In Italy, Naples is considered the worst city ever.. too much crime and degradation
