What our students said about Naples
Incredibly impressive sights in Naples and the surrounding area, which is very easy to reach, especially by train (e.g. Vesuvius, Pompeii, Ercolano and the Amalfi Coast). Naples also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine - especially street food at easily affordable prices. Only the Aperol in the restaurants is always a bit more expensive in the evening - better to take ToGo if you want to save money (between 2 and 4 euros currently). Security depends somewhat on the neighbourhood (as everywhere) - I would inform myself beforehand. Despite living in a difficult neighbourhood, I had no negative experience. Occasionally a rucksack compartment was open after the metro ;-) - so watch out for valuables (just like everywhere else). The cleanliness could still be worked on, especially with regard to waste disposal - but hardly a problem in the tourist areas.

Napoli has many interesting layers of culture. There are plenty of museums, castles and churches to visit. I took day trips to each of the 3 beautiful nearby islands, Procida, Ischia,Capri. The street life is colorful and the street art is very creative.I can’t imagine being bored here. Even though the restaurants are very affordable I became bored with the majority of them serving only pizza and/or pasta. There are different neighborhoods to explore and the city center is very walkable. Yes I found the city dirty but this is not new news. I believe it’s a very particular city and I plan on returning.
Even if you've been to Italy many times and have traveled a lot both in the north and in the south, Naples is yet another, very special experience. You just have to experience it yourself. The city has such a rich past with many different cultural influences that have changed and shaped it over the millennia. The influence of natural resources (Vesuvius, Flegrean fields) are also very interesting. If you love Italy, you should definitely visit Naples.
Germany
Chaotic, turbulent, but not a problem for a few weeks. The city is quite dirty in many corners, but still rich in history. If you want to go to the sea, you have to take a 40-minute train ride. But at the end of the journey you are right at the beach (Torregavete). A short walk and you are on a long sandy beach. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the sea without paying an entrance fee.
Austria
I love Naples more than anything! The history, culture, architecture, the people, the urbanity, the climate ..... I really liked everything. Enjoy life - this motto is really lived here. You just have to see this city - or EXPERIENCE it. As Goethe said: VEDI NAPOLI E POI MUORI
Switzerland
Everyone should visit Naples at least once. It is the friendliest large city that I have ever visited. There is a lot of graffiti and many buildings could use a facelift, but it is all cosmetic. Naples is vibrant, safe, has an amazing history and an outstanding food scene.
Very dirty, buildings dilapidated, people don’t care, got ripped off at 2 restaurants and almost at 2 gelato stores, one shop owner threw us out, people don’t smile at customers, they push you to buy, but … drivers give way when crossing the street.
Panama
Great southern Italian city with lots of charm and many nice and friendly people, but of course also with the characteristics of southern Italian cities: lots of rubbish and places where you don't necessarily want to be out and about at night.
Switzerland
Naples was a very nice surprise. It's chaotic, sometimes messy and noisy, but has tons of character and (its own unique) style. This was my first time in Naples, and it's definitely a place I'd love to go back to.
Israel
Not the cleanest city, but it has a character all it's own that you either like or dislike. A little difficult to speak Italian because of the presence of so many tourists. Everyone wants to speak English.
Japan
absolutely worth a trip, very lively, colourful and diverse, delicious ice cream, pizza ... Many possibilities for activities in the city and excursions (Capri, Ischia, Amalfi Coast, Vesuvius, Pompeii, ...).
Germany
Exciting midium size city easy to get around, affordable good restaurants and varieties of speciality, many sweets and bakeries, fun sights, nearby excursions and lots of traditions
Germany
Naples is the most Italian of all cities for us. Loud, full of people and incredibly nice and helpful Neapolitans. A variety of food options in all price ranges, also for shopping.
Germany
Naples is incredibly interesting. It is certainly different from other Italian cities, noisy and chaotic, but lovable and sympathetic. There are also quieter places in this city.
Germany
It's a lively city, easy to get around by walking to most of the important sightseeing spots. Great food, and fantastic coffee. And of course the pizzas and gelatos were superb.
Germany
A typical Italian city ( And all the things which comes with that). I do felt much more secure then what I had thought/ heard about Neapel. I never felt insecure for a minute.
Sweden
I loved it. Everything that might seem negative turns into positive once there. I have never met nicer and friendlier people than in Naples. I will be back for sure.

A lively great city, honest, loud, like an old friend. So many sights and excursions. Delicious food and the sea. Plus Vesuvius! What more could you want?

The very friendly staff and the personal relaxed atmosphere in the school. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun at the same time. About the activities - I particularly enjoyed the interesting walk with Mariarita.
More modern teaching aids (e.g. film) and more comfortable equipment in the rooms would be an enrichment. The equipment of the rooms was quite simple...
