About Naples

Why Study in Napoli?

Naples is loud, beautiful, and full of contradictions - and students who study here tend to fall in love with it. The cheapest major student city in Italy, with a Mediterranean climate, world-class pizza, and the University of Naples Federico II (founded 1224), the world-s second oldest secular university. Vesuvius, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast are all within reach.

Practical Guide

Living in Napoli

Everything you need to know before you arrive - from finding a flat to getting your health card.

🏠
Housing
Naples is Italy-s most affordable major city for renting. Vomero and Chiaia are safest for internationals. Always visit apartments in person; avoid deals that seem too good to be true.
🚇
Transport
Naples has a metro, funiculars, buses and a train network. Line 1 and Line 6 are modern. Traffic can be chaotic - scooters and walking are often faster in the centre.
🏥
Healthcare
Register with your local ASL for a GP. The Policlinico Federico II hospital is excellent and directly tied to the medical faculty. Keep a private travel policy until you're fully enrolled.
🌍
Language
Naples has strong local identity - Italian (and Neapolitan dialect) is essential. Very few locals speak English outside academic settings. This makes immersion faster and more complete.
