🇮🇹 How I Survived Naples (Without Getting Pickpocketed!)

Came for My Brilliant Friend, braced for chaos—but left unscathed! Here’s my 3-day survival guide: 🧹 The Dirty Truth Trash alert: Streets reek near the old town (especially near Central Station’s black-market stalls). Vendors: Drivers get hassled at red lights—just ignore. 📱 Anti-Theft Tactics Phone: Used a crossbody+ tucked inside jacket. Belongings: Waist pouch under clothes for passports/cash. Trains: Chose Italo Prima class (fewer people)—but 28" suitcases are a struggle! 🏨 Safe Haven: Hotel Royal Continental 📍 Egg Castle area (sea views + police presence 🚓). Room: 3/5 stars (moldy bathroom, aggressive faucet). Breakfast: Huge spread—ate enough to skip lunch! 🚉 Station Snafu Afragola Station mistake: Peaceful but €60 Uber to hotel at night. 🚌 Transport Wins Unico app: Bought ANM bus tickets (cheapest) + metro combos. Pro tip: Double-check metro line codes! 🎭 Final Verdict Naples ≠ as dangerous as rumors say (I got pickpocketed in Rome, not here!). Just: ✅ Stay alert in Centro Storico ✅ Secure valuables like it’s 1999 #NaplesSurvivalGuide #TheftProofTravel
