Naples is a city full of pastry shops and bars where you can enjoy delicious breakfasts. If you are on vacation or planning a trip to this sunny city, I point out my favourite 5 places to have breakfast in Naples.
The classic way to start the day as a local is to order a strong espresso and a sfogliatella. But to tourists, I suggest enjoying a wider choice. Diving in the Neapolitan tradition, scents and flavours is the best way to get to know the real Naples.
