4 things to do in Naples for kids
- Taste typical desserts
When in Naples with your family or children, what could be better than taking a moment to taste a typical Naples dessert? You’ll be spoilt for choice with sfogliatelle, zeppole fritte, and babà. At Christmas, it is more likely that you will also have the chance to eat struffoli the Neapolitan cassata; at Easter, the presence of the pastiera is assured!
- Get lost in the Capodimonte woods
One of the outdoor activities to do with children in Naples is a trip to the Capodimonte Woods. The 124-acre park is the perfect space to give kids the possibility to move around with more freedom than usual.
- Going to Piazza Plebiscito
Piazza Plebiscito is one of the largest public squares in Naples. Because of this, it is one of the places that get more crowded with kids who go there to play. The square is always illuminated by the sun. Piazza Plebiscito is within walking distance of two of the city’s shopping streets. Via Toledo, where you can find most stores of the most popular companies and fast fashion, and Via Chiaia, where you can also find small boutiques.
- Exploring Vesuvius
Vesuvius is in every history book in the world. Your children will probably know about the eruption that destroyed Pompeii. While a trip to the excavations can be tiring – unless you choose a tour designed specifically for specific age groups – an outdoor excursion to Vesuvius can keep their curiosity alive.
