  Lying in the shadow of Europe's second-largest active volcano, overlooking the Bay of Naples, this fascinating, UNESCO-protected city offers more than corruption, crime and Camorra scandals. Naples is proud of its heritage, including restored Renaissance palazzi and archaeological treasures, but is also keen to embrace the future, as witnessed by the opening of PAN (Palazzo delle Arti Napoli) and MADRE (Museo d'Arte Donnaregina), both welcome additions to the city's contemporary art scene. Visit the San Carlo opera house, where Rossini and Donizetti triumphed, sip a caffe where Oscar Wilde and Enrique Caruso used to lounge, eat a margharita pizza at the restaurant that created it and, with the help of this guide, find the best hotels, the coolest spas and some of the finest food in the whole of Italy.

  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.
