+==== 1-Day Naples Itinerary ====
+<code>
+Naples is energetic, chaotic, and full of character. One day is enough to experience the historic center, eat authentic pizza, and soak up the atmosphere. Focus on the Centro Storico — it’s compact and best explored on foot.
+Morning: Historic Center (Centro Storico)
+:00 – Spaccanapoli & Gesù Nuovo
+Start at Piazza del Gesù Nuovo.
+    Visit the striking Gesù Nuovo Church.
+    Explore the beautiful Cloister of Santa Chiara (majolica-tiled cloisters are a highlight).
+:00 – Spaccanapoli Walk
+Wander this long, straight historic street that “splits” the old city.
+    Detour to Via San Gregorio Armeno (famous for nativity scene workshops — open year-round).
+:45 – Cappella Sansevero
+See the extraordinary Veiled Christ sculpture.
+Book a timed ticket in advance — this is one of the most popular sights and often sells out.
+:30 – Via dei Tribunali & Duomo
+Continue along Via dei Tribunali (another ancient main street).
+    Visit the Duomo di Napoli (Cathedral) and the Chapel of San Gennaro if time allows.
+Midday: Pizza Time
+:30–14:00 – Classic Neapolitan Pizza
+This is non-negotiable in Naples. Recommended spots (expect queues):
+    L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele
+    Gino Sorbillo
+    Da Attilio or other highly rated local pizzerias
+Order a classic Margherita or Marinara.
+Afternoon: Spanish Quarters & Waterfront
+:30 – Quartieri Spagnoli (Spanish Quarters)
+Wander the lively, narrow streets full of local life, street art, and the famous Maradona murals.
+:30 – Piazza del Plebiscito & Galleria Umberto I
+    See the grand Piazza del Plebiscito and the Royal Palace.
+    Walk through the elegant Galleria Umberto I shopping arcade.
+Optional: If you prefer views, take the funicular or metro up to Castel Sant’Elmo / Vomero for panoramic views over the city and Bay of Naples (including Vesuvius).
+Evening
+:30 onward
+    Stroll the Lungomare (seafront promenade) toward Castel dell’Ovo.
+    Enjoy an aperitivo with views of the bay.
+    Dinner: more pizza, seafood, or traditional Neapolitan dishes.
+Practical Tips
+    Walking: Most of the day is on foot in the historic center. Wear comfortable shoes.
+    Must-book: Cappella Sansevero (Veiled Christ) — reserve online as early as possible.
+    Safety: Keep an eye on belongings in crowded areas (pickpocketing can occur). The city is generally safe for daytime sightseeing.
+    Transport: Metro Line 1 is useful if you go up to Vomero. Otherwise, everything central is walkable.
+    Food tip: Besides pizza, try sfogliatella (pastry) for breakfast or a quick street snack.
