Rick Steves’ Europe Travel Guide | In gritty Naples, we go shopping Neapolitan style, dodge scooters in Naples’ crazy traffic, explore the city’s vibrant neighborhoods, admire exquisite ancient mosaics at the National Museum of Archaeology, taste pizza in its birthplace, climb the lip of Mount Vesuvius, and wander the amazing ruins of the Roman town it destroyed: Pompeii. © 2006 Rick Steves’ Europe #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #italy

  1. It’s actually changing ,, I was surprised to see the problems that are occurring with prostitution , drugs and many poor immigrants

  2. This looks like the most awful, chaotic ghetto you can imagine. This town is just one step away from Liberia.

  3. Have to say that it would be very hard for a tourist to spend a few days and see as much of Naples and Pompeii as what's in this video. Rick Steve's is my favorite travel channel, not only for the knowledgeable & entertaining contents, but also for Rick's witty & clever dialogs that stay away from sentences starting with "I", which makes it even more interesting than many other channels' contents.

    Greatest appreciation to all the team members who helped create this wonderful video, as well as all other videos.

  4. In Europe mainland yes vesuvio is only active volcano, don't forget teide in the canary islands.

  5. I love Naples. ❤. Full of energy, history, friendly people, beautiful 😍 panorama, delicious food 😋, very Kingdom of soul.
    Bella Napoli.

  6. Thank you so much for the mention of St. Giuseppe Moscati. Like many Catholics I find the hagiography version, the official propaganda, of such people unhelpful (putting it mildly). However, the Italian TV movie on Youtube listed as Saint Guiseppe Moscati, English subtitles, is very beautifully shot in Naples. It is also true to the true events. It shows the enormous warmth and joy Dr. Moscati brought to the profession and how heartbroken he was when the Fascist/corporate government took over medical schools.
    I got some holy cards with a prayer for a young man doing his residency. His sister plays volleyball and her team went to Naples last summer, staying in the Spanish Quarter in a Air B&B. Since she is also my grandson's girl friend, I now have someone to talk to about Naples.
    Grazie Mille, for this excellent show.

  7. Um brasileiro de Ituiutaba,no estado de Minas Gerais e,que me distraio muito assistindo esses super bons e animados documentários da Europa e do mundo,também achei bom demais essas matérias sobre Nápoles e Pompéia! As 14:28,em 22/01/23.🙌

  8. Italy is much like Britain, it is European but not Europe. when you visit Italy or the UK its' like Europe but not.

  9. Hey Rick, Always love your videos. Thanks for all the info. I'm flying from Naples to Palermo for short trip and I don't want to take my big suitcase. I also don't want to leave at my hotel as I will not be going back into central Naples (staying at capsule hotel in airport). Is there a place at airport I can store my big suitcase?

  10. fiinally did it! I just returned from Italy yesterday. I did visit Naples and of course Pompeii. What an impressive country Italy is! I totally loved it and can't wait to go back. Thanks, Steve, for all your good advice.

  11. Interesting to watch this and remember my multiple stops in Naples during my time in The Navy back in 1974 and 1975, what was a Mediterranean cruise without a stop in Naples? I did the tour of Pompeii with a side stop at the place where they made cameos and picked one up for my mother. We did the hike up Vesuvius and it was a nice view of the area. Coming down Vesuvius I did have to urinate really bad and I can say I left a little something of myself behind. My father also was in Naples in the Navy during the war for pit stops, don't think he ever mentioned Pompeii.

  12. GREAT VIDEO RICK!!! I WOULD LOVE TO VISIT NAPLES!!!! IT LOOKS LIKE A REALLY FUN CITY!!!! WITH A LOT OF ACTIVITY!!!!

  13. “I get over quicker by jaywalking in the shadows of confident locals”😂😂😂😂

  14. Heading there in September. Only get a day (part of a cruise) but will certainly hit Pompeii and make time to stroll around Naples and get some pizza!
