Practical Tips for Naples

Safety: Avoid wearing flashy jewelry and keep your bag securely in front of you in crowded areas like the Spanish Quarters.

Tipping: Tipping is not mandatory; a simple 'grazie' is sufficient, though rounding up at cafes is appreciated.

Electricity: Italy uses Type C and F plugs (230V).

Entry: Italy is part of the Schengen area; check visa requirements based on your nationality.

Cash: Carry cash (Euros) as some smaller shops and taxi drivers prefer it over cards.

Connectivity: Free Wi-Fi is available in many cafes, but a local SIM card is useful for navigating the city's complex street grid.

Water: Tap water is generally safe and delicious; refill your bottle at the many 'nasoni' (fountains) found across the city.
