Naples invented modern pizza — Pizzeria Brandi (1889) is the origin claim for the Margherita (the queen-flag pizza of red tomato, white mozzarella, green basil). True Neapolitan pizza follows the AVPN protocol: 60–90 second wood-oven cook, soft chewy crust, San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte mozzarella. At NAP airside: ~€10–15 for a credible Margherita; for the real experience: head to the Centro Storico (Pizzeria Sorbillo, Da Michele, Brandi, Di Matteo) — €5–8 for an authentic pizzaolo-baked Margherita.

Sfogliatella (the layered shell-shaped Naples pastry filled with ricotta and candied citrus, ~€2–4); babà (rum-soaked sponge, the Naples cake icon); limoncello (the Sorrento / Amalfi-Coast lemon liqueur — bright yellow, ~30% ABV, ~€10–25 per bottle at duty-free). Pair limoncello with espresso after dinner — the Naples after-dinner ritual.

Mount Vesuvius is 12 km from NAP — last erupted in 1944, on yellow alert since February 2026 with active INGV Osservatorio Vesuviano monitoring (seismic / GPS / InSAR / gas / gravimetry). ~2-week eruption warning capability. The crater rim is hikeable via the park trail (last km on foot, supervised guides). Historical eruptions have affected aviation across the entire Bay of Naples — but for 2026 visitors, day-to-day Vesuvius access is fine.

Amalfi Coast (Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, Ravello): Curreri Viaggi shuttle from NAP to Sorrento + onward SITA bus, or pre-booked transfer (~€100–150).
