Stadio San Paolo

Top choice in Bay of Naples


Naples' football team, Napoli, is the fourth most supported in Italy after Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan, and watching it play in the country's third-largest stadium is a rush. The season runs from late August to late May; seats cost from around €20 to €100. Tickets are available from selected tobacconists, the agency inside Feltrinelli, or Box Office; bring photo ID.

On match days, tickets are also available at the stadium itself.
