Places to visit (cultural & historic sites, food, etc.) in Napoli as a tourist?

Hi, Anon 💙 First of all I hope the City treats you right and you have a good time here. I don't know how many days you'll have at your disposal, but if you can spare one (since it's huge and it's not Naples exactly), obviously consider visiting Pompeii. Cultural sites: Cappella di Sansevero, home of Cristo Velato and the National Museum for sure. Around the City there are a bunch of Churches all free and all worth seeing (Duomo, Chiesa del Gesù Nuovo, Chiesa di Santa Patrizia, Chiesa di Santa Chiara*, Basilica Reale in Piazza del Plebiscito, right in front of the Royal Residence). If you're into catacombs, there's Cimitero delle Fontanelle that's worth a visit. All the Castles (Maschio Angioino, Castel dell'Ovo) and the Royal Residence are also open and pretty cheap. If you want a real immersion into the "culture", go to Spaccanapoli and San Gregorio Armeno (the infamous road with all the nativity statues/scenes shops). As for food: pizza obviously. Pizza here is good pretty much everywhere, but if you want to do best one in Naples go to Michele (the pizzeria in "Eat, Pray, Love") (if that one is too crowded as it happens, tourists also favour Sorbillo, there are a few ones around the City). You'll have to taste "pizza al portafoglio" or "pizza fritta" (fried calzone). And consider getting a coffee and a pastry (maybe sfogliatella) at Leopoldo or ice-cream at Mennella (best ice-cream ever). Napoli is huge and the entire historic centre is UNESCO heritage, so there's a lot to see. *this one has a "chiostro" that's beautiful, but you need a ticket. The church itself is always open to visit instead.
