Best Marina in front of Centro Storico

Napoli feels like stepping into another world – salty air, cafè at the bar, scooters flying through UNESCO-listed alleyways, and the smell of pizza everywhere.

Our favorites:

  • Diego Vitagliano for the best relaxed pizza night.
  • Gambrinus for cafè & sfogliatelle  with a view over Piazza del Plebiscito.
  • Gay-Odin for unforgettable gelato.
  • Fiocchi di Neve & Sfogliatelle from tiny street bakeries.
  • Sunset aperitivo in Chiaia or Vomero.

Most of Naples is best discovered without a plan – wandering through the old town, stepping into hidden churches, finding folded pizza in your hand before you even knew you were hungry.

Only tip: book the Duomo rooftop terrace ahead of time. Watching the city glow above the sea is pure magic!

Don’t miss: 

The hilly heart of Napoli – Vomero 

Perched above the vibrant streets of Napoli, Vomero offers a completely different perspective of the city: elegant avenues, local markets, panoramic terraces, and breathtaking views stretching across the Gulf of Naples all the way to Mount Vesuvius. Every corner here feels suspended between history and everyday Neapolitan life.

Vomero

Start the morning wandering through the lively Mercato Antignano, where locals shop for fresh produce, clothes, and daily essentials, before strolling along the chic pedestrian streets around Piazza Vanvitelli, lined with boutiques, cafés, and traditional bars perfect for an Aperitivo break.

In the afternoon, make your way up to the majestic Castel Sant’Elmo, the star-shaped fortress overlooking the entire city. From its terraces, Naples reveals itself in all its beauty – the sea, the rooftops, the chaos, and the charm.

Just beside it, the Certosa e Museo di San Martino invites you into a quieter side of the city, with peaceful cloisters, gardens, art collections, and one of Italy’s most extraordinary nativity scenes.

And for those who want to experience Naples step by step, the historic Pedamentina di San Martino leads back down toward the historic center through ancient stairways, hidden alleys, and unforgettable viewpoints.

Vomero is more than a neighborhood – it’s where Napoli slows down just enough for you to truly take it all in.
