Current Time in Naples

About Naples Time Zone

Naples (Napoli) is southern Italy's largest city and the capital of Campania, home to approximately 970,000 city residents and 3.1 million in the metro area. It operates on Central European Time (CET/CEST). Naples is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities — founded by Greek colonists around 600 BC as Neapolis ('New City'). The historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, containing over 400 churches, the second-highest density of historic churches of any city on Earth after Rome. Naples is the birthplace and spiritual home of pizza — the margherita pizza was reportedly invented here in 1889 for Queen Margherita of Savoy. The nearby active volcano Vesuvius, which catastrophically erupted in 79 AD and buried Pompeii and Herculaneum under volcanic ash, preserving them like a time capsule, looms constantly over the city. Pompeii is visited by over 4 million people annually. Neapolitan coffee (espresso) culture and the Spaccanapoli street are iconic.
