🇮🇹 Naples, Italy
Naples is a major city of Italy. Real-Earth coordinates 40.842°, 14.243°, population 2,250,000. A river or a coast to follow, tall enough buildings to make a proximity line interesting, and open airspace once you clear the centre. Skydex flies the real Earth here — the elevation, coastline and city layout under the aircraft come from the same data the map does, and the sky is shared with everyone else flying it.
