This is a fascinating and lively area of old Naples. I recommend wandering down some of the narrow streets between the National Archeological Museum and the Duomo. You'll see artists and artisans at work on everything from mosaics to brass candlesticks. More

Gritty, colorful, noisy, delightful. The historic street and its unusually long (if narrow) vista are an iconic view in a city filled with amazing historic sites. More

It's a bit hard to judge Spacca Napoli... The churches contained within this historic area of Napoli are truly stunning, but the area just feels dodgy. Throngs of street vendors try to sell two-stripe knock-off Adidas bags, whilst beggars approach you every few minutes. If you keep a tight hold of your bag/purse/phone and are confident enough to brush off... More

It seems to be one of the most interesting places of Naples. Authentic life, cozy shops, cute cafes, narrow atreets and millions of beddings in balconies make it unforgetable. More

Spaccanapoli is a narrow street that runs through the Centro Storico. Wonderful churches along the way, great small shops with character, and the wonderful street of San Grigorio Armeno, where the traditional art of making Christmas creches is very much alive, year round. More
