Naples is one of those cities that seems to elicit strong reactions from people — they either love it or hate it. We spent four days exploring the highs and lows of Naples and landed firmly on the side of those who love it.

This is a city of contrasts, where total chaos meets culture and beauty, where streets that are dirty and dangerous are also filled with people who are warm and welcoming.

In Naples, the future doesn’t exist and imagination and emotion count for everything. It’s an extraordinary city and one that’s impossible to ignore.
