Naples is Italy's most closeted city, but gay travelers will still find a few places to dangle out at. Start in Piazza Bellini, known as the meeting point of the gay community before a night out on the town. Since homosexual hotspots are always transforming, check with a local to know where everyone is going. You'll detect that there are a couple of gay venues, but that the others are simply gay-friendly. Strive these spots:
