  After the heady years of the 'Neapolitan Renaissance' in the 1990s, this most stunning of Mediterranean-shore cities is working hard to consolidate its new-found self-confidence. In the TIME OUT GUIDE TO NAPLES local writers lead you around the city's famous monuments and hidden places. And take you outside the city, where more established holiday destinations continue to bask in the charm which has been attracting visitors for centuries: Capri and its famed piazzetta, Ischia with its hot springs, and the Amalfi Coast with its colourful villages dotted precipitously along stomach-curdling roads. All against the dramatic background of an azure sea and a gently smoking volcano.

  This stunning Mediterranean city is enjoying a new-found self-confidence. Recent years have seen a dramatic reclamation of its heritage, as piazze that once functioned as car parks have been restored to their original glory in a clean-up process that is almost complete. Naples today is once again recognisable as the place that drew the Grand Tourists with its unique combination of outstanding beauty and overtones of mythology. But the bustle, the street-life, the numerous cafes, bars and restaurants remain. The guide will also take you beyond the city to explore the best of the Amalfi coast, the town of Sorrento, the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida and the ancient sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
