Is Naples safe?

A calm, sourced answer: what the UK and US governments say, how Naples compares in Italy's crime index, the petty theft that does happen, where to take care at night, and the volcanic and quake risk put in proportion.

Main risk: pickpockets, snatching Emergency number: 112 US advisory: Level 2, all Italy

Best time to visit Naples

Weather by month from 1991-2020 climate normals, when the islands and boats wind down, August closures and Ferragosto, the festivals worth timing a trip around, and two dates that change the answer: November 2026 and summer 2027.

Best: May, June, late Sept Airport shut November 1-30, 2026 Most island boats to November 3
