Naples lies along the Bay of Naples, where a densely built waterfront meets a broad volcanic arc framed by Mount Vesuvius and the Phlegraean Fields. The port is one of the Mediterranean’s major passenger harbours, with ferry routes linking the city to Capri, Ischia and Procida as well as the mainland coast. Above the quays, the old city spreads inland beneath hilltop Castel Sant’Elmo. Naples’ historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site, recognized for its exceptional continuity from Greek and Roman settlement through later centuries. The city is also the home of Neapolitan pizza; the art of the Neapolitan pizzaiuolo was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2017.
