Taking our fourth trip to Italy but our first with our 2 and a half old daughter.?

Question

We have been to Naples 3 times in the past and although we are not staying there, just pass through on the way to Positano.  I was taking to an older Italian man who is from Italy and he told me I'm crazy for taking my daughter to Naples.  I have never had a problem in my past trips but now he has me thinking.  So is Naples safe for travel with children?

Well, how are you traveling?  Walking thru dark alleys at night? 

I don't see how a cab or car, would be dangerous. Or a train or plane.  Same as taking those things anywhere.  Do you let your toddler wonder off at the train station? 

I mean, that would be dangerous and not smart anywhere. 

Having said that........Naples *is* not exactly the friendliest place I have ever been.  It can be pretty seedy in places.  I mean, Gardaland, it ain't.  There's shifty people about.

Hell,I am a grown man from New York, and Naples gives ME the creeps at times. 

Rome is far friendler......and, how shall we say.............well lit? More .----open? -......You see more police about?  

Naples..............MEHHHHHHHHH---------------not so much, 

Just keep your toddler close, and keep her off the street corners at night, ya know?

Eddie, like anywhere, now that you have the addition and such a young age, you have to be more vigilant, you can not leave her out of your sight for a second. It is going to be a little bit more work, than how it was when it was only the two of you.

I think that is as safe as a big city, no?  If you go to New York do you think to have any risk? I don't think so. Just be careful, that's all !
