Hello all, I will be in Naples on New Years Day. We only have a couple days there, will everything be open? Anyone have experience being there at that time?
TIA!!!

I don't know whether New Years Day is a big deal in Naples, but major sights like the Archaeological Museum will have holiday closings listed on their websites in the same place as the days and hours of operation. I think there's a good chance the churches will be open; it seems they rarely close, though some may be open only in the morning.
If you want to see The Veiled Christ statue at the Capella Sansevero, you'll need to get a ticket in advance. That seems to sell out ahead of time, even in the winter.

I would not bet on places being open, but I cannot really tell for Naples. Just a warning: the Neapolitan tradition to celebrate New Year is firing firecrackers and fireworks. A lot of them. More than you can believe. It will look like the bombing of Baghdad but do not worry. Exercise a bit of caution.
