Rione Sanitร : Visit the Palazzo dello Spagnolo (an incredible double-staircase building) and stop at a bakery to try a "Fiocco di Neve" (Snowflake). It is a neighborhood full of street art and life. ๐ŸŽจhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/7HG7Nn9W6fqUr4Cp9

Pignasecca Market: If you want chaotic, loud, and colorful Naples, come here. It’s the oldest outdoor market. Grab some fried fish (cuoppo) and just watch the world go by. ๐ŸŸhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/DecQgooEpz2542Jw5

Kayak at Gaiola: If you want to experience the sea without the crowds, head to Posillipo and rent a kayak near the Gaiola Underwater Park. It’s a completely different side of the city. ๐Ÿ›ถ https://kayaknapoli.com/
