When to visit Naples?
Spring time is typically the best for sightseeing in Naples. The weather is pleasant and comfortably warm without the summer crowds. Summer can be beautiful but with the sun comes the tourists, so be prepared for it to be a little more crowded. October can also be a great time but this is when the Bay of Naples will experience the most rain.
