What to do in Naples in winter?

Naples is one of the most famous cities in southern Italy. Full of history, it is a city that breathes culture, art, and offers us countless beauties, including natural beauties. Is it the ideal winter destination? In all honesty: no! But if you are planning to go to the city at this time of the year, you will now know what to do in Naples in winter. Here at Your Travel to Italy with Ana Patricia you make the trip of your dreams!!! ALSO: see our “Accommodation in Italy – Tips for your holidays!”

Our introduction

I confess that Naples is not one of the most popular destinations for tourists in winter, however it is important to emphasize that there are attractions in the city throughout the year – if you don’t want to enjoy the beaches of Campania, traveling in winter can be a good solution for those who prefer to escape the large tourist mass that invades the city during the hottest months of the year. Learn all you need to know about Naples here!

Good to know…

Naples is not a big city, but during the winter its movement drops considerably, so some establishments close, so a piece of advice: make your hotel reservations in advance; I also suggest that you check which restaurants are normally open for dinner and, if in doubt, contact us to make a reservation BEFORE your trip, especially if you are traveling during the end of year festivities. Find out here: Opening hours for restaurants in Italy!

Golden Tip:
In case you intend to spend Christmas and New Year in the city: reservations for supper are mandatory, so get organized in advance, okay?!

How is winter in Naples?

The city is cold, however, as it is close to the sea, it does not reach negative temperatures as easily as other Italian cities further away from the coast. Average temperatures in winter are between 6 and 7°C, and maximums do not exceed 15°C.

It is good to remember that, during the winter in Italy, it gets dark very early, around 5 pm, that is: wake up a little earlier to make the most of the day.

Attention!

If you travel between December and January, pay attention to the end and beginning of the year holidays, as public transport and establishments may change during these days – be aware that some places are closed on the following days:

December 25th is Christmas Day.
December 26 Santo Stefano.
January 1st is New Year’s Day.
January 6 is the Epiphany.
