Naples has a reputation beyond its reality — most visits are trouble-free — but snatch theft by scooter and pickpocketing in the chaotic centre require vigilance.
Save these numbers before you arrive. Calls are free from most local phones.
Read before you go — these are the situations most likely to affect your safety.
Keep phones and bags away from the road edge; scooter snatch-theft is the signature crime.
Use the official Circumvesuviana/regionale for Pompeii and Herculaneum; keep belongings close.
Stick to central Spaccanapoli, Chiaia and the waterfront after dark.
Cross at lights; Neapolitan traffic is chaotic and pedestrians do not always have priority.
Recognise the pattern, decline firmly, and walk away.
Two people on a scooter grab phones or bags at the pavement edge. Keep valuables on the building side and phones out of sight.
Some streets sell counterfeit items; buying is illegal and can carry on-the-spot fines.
Cafés near Piazza Garibaldi add a cover charge and inflated prices. Check the menu before sitting.
