Naples Shines as Queen of Tourism on Easter 

Naples Shines as Queen of Tourism on Easter 

Nearly 300,000 travelers chose Naples to spend the two days of Easter and Easter Monday. This helped to make it effectively the queen of the tourism sector: among Italian destinations, indeed, the city of Naples proved to be the one with the highest number of top-ranking sites. Three places in Naples were particularly crowded, and they attracted the highest flow of visitors. We refer, of course, to the mural dedicated to Maradona in the famous Largo ai Quartieri Spagnoli, now the main attraction for Neapolitan tourists and which saw the presence of about 60,000 visitors. Subsequently, the Decumani and the Historical Center, together with the Sansevero Chapel of the Veiled Christ, once again recorded sold-out conditions, with long queues and extended opening hours until 8:30 pm (an hour and a half beyond the usual schedule). Even the various pizzerias and fry shops reported sold-out conditions, confirming the triumph of street food. Lastly, the Lungomare was constantly crowded with tourists, with around 15,000 people served only in the restaurants and pizzerias of Via Partenope. All this despite the closures of Castel dell’Ovo and the Maschio Angioino.   modafinil 10 mg price

As for the museums, the most visited site in Naples was the Royal Palace with the Tolkien Exhibition, author of “The Lord of the Rings,” which welcomed nearly 4,000 visitors between Easter and Easter Monday. Following closely behind is the reopening of the Girolamini library (2,928 visits), 1,943 visitors for the Mann and 953 for the Capodimonte museum. Even during these Easter and Easter Monday festivities, many Italians and tourists from around the world visited and admired the extraordinary beauty of Italy’s cultural heritage. A result that confirms the decision to keep all museums and archaeological parks open and represents a further incentive to continually improve the quality of the cultural offering. Extraordinary success also for the Pompeii Excavations, which registered 29,000 accesses on Easter Monday alone, placing it second in Italy, behind only the Colosseum (55,315 accesses). Considering the entire Campania region, there were nearly 15,000 accesses to the Royal Palace of Caserta (seventh place in Italy), while the Archaeological Excavations of Paestum-Velia ranked eleventh (4,091 accesses).  

Therefore, tourism in Naples is in excellent health. The city, with its attractions and breathtaking views of the Gulf, continues to be a flagship not only for national but also international tourism.
