Naples Nightlife

Naples is a vivacious city and has a cultural life to match. More than just mandolins and tenors, the city has one of the liveliest nightlife scenes in Italy. A huge student population means there are plenty of bars ranging from grungy to sophisticated, where you can drink molten black coffee, talk world politics and discuss Dante.

On the weekends, the piazzas brim with people drinking bottled beers, especially in summer. Clubs usually open at 2230 and fill up after midnight. Many close in July and August when they move to out-of-town beach locations.

It isn’t just students who love a night out. All Neapolitans have a theatrical bent, which means the city is well served with opera, live music, theatre and dance productions.
