Deep off-season — very low prices, but weather conditions are suboptimal.

January is the coldest winter month in Naples — with highs of only 13°C, it holds little appeal for sun-seekers. Better travel in June, July, August, and September.

Temperatures reach a maximum of 13°C during the day and drop to 6°C at night — warm layers recommended. With 3 sunshine hours per day and 8 rain days (114 mm), this is one of the cloudier months. At 15°C, the water is still quite cool in January — 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.
