.
- POSTED by VISIT NAPLES AND AMALFI COAST TRAVEL TIPS
.
As Italy's most densely populated city, Naples has a wealth of lively neighborhoods to explore. You’ll never be sure what you’ll encounter in this dynamic city—street food, artistic masterpieces tucked away in baroque chapels, or Greco-Roman catacombs deep underground. Exploring a city this alive requires planning, specifically so you can see more than just one neighborhood. From the historic center to the view-happy Vomero and beyond, here are the must-see neighborhoods in Naples and how to visit them.
.
- CENTRO STORICO
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the oldest part of the city.
To experience the essence of Naples, head for the Historic Center (Centro Storico). Here you’ll find the alleyways lined with hanging laundry and the fading beauty that gives the city its character—but also some of the top historic and cultural sites, such as the Sansevero Chapel (Museo Cappella Sansevero) on the northern side of the neighborhood, to the San Carlo Opera House (Teatro di San Carlo),one of Europre’s oldest opera houses, on the southern side.
.
While you can easily spend hours (or days) exploring this part of the city, you can save time and can get a feel for the district on walking tours.

- SPANISH QUARTER (Quartieri Spagnoli)
The old-school Naples.
Although the Spanish Quarter, a maze of historic alleys lined with colorful shops and restaurants, is part of Naples’ Historic Center, it’s so unique that we’re considering it its own district.
.
You won’t find la dolce vita here. This hilly zone is a more rough and tough neighborhood where you can hobnob with residents that speak more Neapolitan dialect than Italian. The area has an emerging alternative street art scene and some of the best local no-frill specialties, such as fried pizza

.
SANTA LUCIA AND BORGO MARINARI
One of the prettiest seaside corners of Naples.
Walk past Santa Lucia’s art nouveau buildings along pedestrian-friendly Via Nazzario Sauro, and you’ll soon reach Borgo Marinaro, a clutch of bobbing boats and waterside restaurants where, according to Greek legend, the siren Parthenope washed ashore after her music failed to seduce Odysseus.
.
While sightseeing tours sometimes stop here after visiting Castel Nuovo (Maschio Angioino) and the historic center, you can easily climb to the terraced roof of Castel dell’Ovo. The seaside fortress offers iconic views of the Gulf of Naples and Capri.

VOMERO
Grand views, swanky shops, and Neapolitan art.
Ask a Neapolitan where to do some serious shopping, and they’ll likely answer Via Toledo or Vomero, an upscale neighborhood in the hills facing the sea. Getting there is half the fun, as the easiest way to climb the hills is with the Central Funicular (Funicolare Centrale). Take it to Piazza Vanvitelli, the heart of the district, and explore the shops along Via Alessandro Scarlatti on foot.
.
Make sure you leave enough time to view the Neapolitan art in the Charterhouse and Museum of San Martino (Certosa e Museo di San Martino), a former monastery turned museum, and to see the panoramic views over the city from Castel Sant'Elmo, a former fortress.

POSILLIPO
Posillipo is an affluent neighborhood on the northern side of Naples. The residential area on a hilly peninsula is challenging to reach on public transportation, so you’re better off visiting on a motorcycle tour or by taxi.
.
However you get there, ensure you have the time to see the Pausilypon Archaeological Park, with the remains of a Roman villa and amphitheater, and the Gaiola Underwater Park, a dreamy swimming spot with submerged ruins and an abandoned villa atop a small offshore island.

CHIAIA
Best for fine dining, fine drinking, and an evening stroll.
Cosmopolitan Chiaia comprises two pedestrian-friendly areas: the lungomare (seaside promenade) along Via Francesco Caracciolo, where Neapolitans take their evening passeggiata (stroll), and Via dei Mille, packed with high-end shops, stylish eateries, and elegant bars.
.
Culture enthusiasts should head for the Museo Pignatelli, a grand neo-Renaissance villa hiding behind the Riviera di Chiaia with 19th-century art and furnishings. Or, pay a visit to Galleria Borbonica, which features underground tunnels and World War II-era air-bomb shelters.

RIONE SANITA'
Among Italy’s great cities, Naples lies a bit off the beaten path—and Rione Sanità is its most off-the-beaten-path neighborhood. Though the district has traditionally been one of the city’s poorest (and is still more than a little rough around the edges), it’s experienced a renaissance in recent years, drawing interest for its street art and paleo-Christian catacombs.
.
Rione Sanità also houses one of Italy’s most fascinating museums: the National Archaeological Museum (Museo Archeologico Nazionale), with its artifacts from Pompeii and Herculaneum.

SPACCANAPOLI ( my fav.)
his ancient street splits the heart of Naples in two.
Of Naples’ three Roman roads called decumani, Spaccanapoli is the most famous, a point of reference for locals and travelers alike. It splits the historic center in half, starting in Via Benedetto Croce and continuing along Via San Biagio dei Librai.
.
The street overflows with eclectic shops and crumbling courtyards, and it’s here where you’ll discover that parts of Naples haven’t changed much in centuries. Make sure to check out Via San Gregorio Armeno(Christmas Alley), where artisans hawk handcrafted pastori (nativity figures), and Naples Underground (Napoli Sotterranea), a subterranean archaeological site with air-raid shelters, Greek-Roman aqueducts, and a Roman theater
