Naples is one of the oldest cities in Italy and is characterized by amazing museums and wonderful culture, pizza and food, further, this is where the pizza was invented. One article mentioned warnings to heed in order to enjoy a safe vacation to Naples, this article will discuss some of these warnings. 
 
Traffic - the major streets in Naples have wide streets however, many side streets an narrow and not well lit, and this is a danger when a pedestrian meets a vespa. Ensure that you get right out of the way as the vespa whizzes past. Further, driving may be a good idea and a good way to get around Naples however, when you decide to drive you decide to deal with Naples’ drivers. One article goes on to describe the way in which the drivers in Naples consider traffic lights, it stated that Naples drivers “regards traffic lights as mere suggestions”.
 
Crime - like many places in Italy, Naples has a large network of public transportation which includes buses and trains. However, these transportation hubs have quickly become areas of crime as a result of pickpockets and thieves, this is especially true at night. Therefore, it is necessary for visitors to be extra careful as they enter or leave a transportation station. The strategy employed by pick pockets is the use of a distraction. Such distractions are provided by vendors who quickly gather around you and persistently pressure you into buying their inferior goods, as they continue to push against you and gather around you it is at these moments that pick pockets take advantage of the situation. If you are going from the airport to any other destination like Sorrento, use airport transfers from Naples to Sorrento to avoid any such confrontations with pickpockets at transportation hubs. Further, the small side roads which are dimly lit and very narrow serve as good spots for muggings as well as ‘snatch and grabs’ done by vespas speeding past. Therefore, ensure that you use the main roads to get to your destination, if need be carry a map around to ensure there is no need to leave the main roads.
 
Like any places in the world, there are neighbourhoods or areas in Naples that are characterized by violence, ensure that you steer clear of such areas to avoid such danger. Further, the basic key is to keep casually dressed and not to wear flashy jewellery or carry around wards of cash instead, when purchasing items use a credit card. However, if you do become a victim of a crime cooperate fully with the police and there was assist you accordingly.
 
While Naples invented pizza but not all pizza places are as amazing as you may expect. One travel bloggers states that you should go around and taste different pizzas at different pizza places and then you may realize that some pizza tastes better than others. This is the best way to finding the best pizza places and your favourite pizza.
