The historical centre of Naples is the largest in Europe, it is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Over the course of its long history, Naples has been the capital of duchies, kingdoms, and an Empire, and has consistently been a major cultural centre with a global sphere of influence, particularly during the Renaissance and Enlightenment eras. The University Federico II di Napoli, founded in 1224, it is the oldest public non-sectarian university in the world, and one of the oldest academic institutions in continuous operation.

There is a wide range of culturally and historically significant sites nearby, including the Palace of Caserta and the Roman ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Naples is also known for its natural beauties such as Posillipo, Phlegraean Fields, Nisida, and Vesuvius. Neapolitan cuisine is often synonymous of pizza, which was born in the city, as well as numerous other local dishes. However, in the area of Naples there is highest concentration of the Michelin star restaurants in Italy.
