This area has been serving Italians for thousands of years and the historical experience is quite unusual. The English-speaking guides are excellent. This tour is not to be missed!

Pizza! Pizza!

Don’t miss out on an authentic Neapolitan cooking class for the whole family! If your kids are age 10+, bring them along and enjoy making and eating pizza.

If all you really want to do is eat pizza, then head to Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba, Via Port’Alba, 18, 80134 Napoli NA, Italy. It’s said to be the first-ever pizzeria in the world. Established in 1738. Mama Mia!

Other things to do in Naples with kids

Visit a Medieval Castle

Castel Nuovo  (Maschio Angioino) is an imposing castle on the waterfront just a few minutes walk from the Archaeology Museum.  It’s impressive. When we were there It had a lovely art exhibit on the ground floor and then you could walk up to the top if you wanted, and it was free. Gotta love that! It would be another perfect place to take a picnic lunch and enjoy the view.

Take a Hike

For your more athletic or energetic kids,  hiking Mt. Vesuvius or Campi Flegrei might be good choices. It’s a great opportunity to think about the geology and geography of the region for a bit. And, what kid wouldn’t want to tell their friends they were in the land of Zeus and Vulcan. Wear the proper shoes, clothing and drink plenty of fluids if you plan to hike all the way to the crater.

Naples like a local! It’s perfect for a trip to study Roman history. Visiting Naples, Italy is a fantastic, learning experience for the entire family.
