Naples: Dangerous Or Not?
18 Answers
Going on a tour group to Sorrento soon, and on a free day I thought I would go off on my own by ferry or hydrofoil to Naples and get the train back to Sorrento, during the day.
Any thoughts, tips, things to see/do/avoid?
Is Naples really as scary as most people seem to think?
Having been to Cuba and New York on my own, can't imagine it is so dangerous??

Naples doesn't currently get any specific advice offered about it on the FCO website https:// www. gov. uk/ foreign- travel- advice/ italy/ safety- and- security suggesting that it's probably no more dangerous than many other cities. I certainly wouldn't have any concerns about going there. See here...

Just a PS to my post:
If you're looking for the train times between Naples and Sorrento, you won't find them on the TrenItalia website. That's because the line forms part of the Circumvesuviana train service, which is operated by Sitabus.
Timetable here:

Been there a couple of times on a cruise ship and it really is an awful place. Seen men urinating in the gutter and a lady having a poo in a bin!! Haven't looked at Chris's links, which I am sure are excellent. I would suggest Pompei(sp). Not been to Cuba but New York is a sanctuary compared to Naples. Doing a half world cruise soon, first port of call is Naples!!

I did this in 2010, and it was easily the best day out that I had, after Pompeii of course.

The view from the top are ruddy marvelous, and its like a different world up there...almost Alpine.
Forget the official Thomsoms tours....this one is easy-peasy to do independently.
Get the train around to Castellammare Di Stabia and the Cable Car takes off from the end of the platform. A very cheap trip as well....go to the ancient train car, in front of the train station in the car park and get your combined train-cable car-and lunch ticket. It was only 17 Euros in 2010 !
