Coffee: Bar Nilo
Come to Bar Nilo for some of the best coffee in town, but stay for the atmosphere! A virtual pilgrimage stop for football fans, this unassuming historic café in the center of town is even more famous for its relic of Argentine football hero, Armando Diego Maradona than it is for its espresso. Maradona was – and still is – something of a local hero ever since he played for S.S.C. Napoli back in the late 80s/early 90s. A symbol of Neapolitan resistance against Northern domination... So come and pay hommage to one of the greatest footballers ever to play the game!
