Off-season — lowest travel prices with still acceptable climate.
December in Naples is on the cool side — with highs around 15°C it's less suited for a beach holiday, but good for sightseeing away from the high season.
Daytime temperatures reach up to 15°C, cooling to 7°C at night (daily average: 11°C). With 4 sunshine hours per day and 7 rain days (93 mm), this is one of the cloudier months. At 17°C, the water is still quite cool in December — a wetsuit may be useful.
Pack warm clothing and sturdy footwear. Cool temperatures make hiking and cultural trips enjoyable — beaches are off the agenda.
Neapel ohne Filter: Die Spaccanapoli belebt von Einheimischen, nicht von Touristen. Pompeji im Herbst-Winterlicht, der Vesuv klar. Weihnachtsmarkt mit Krippenfiguren in der Via San Gregorio Armeno — die weltberühmteste Weihnachtswerkstatt.
