Unforgettable experience
Sep 2020
Unforgettable walk in an amazing street of this fantastic city.
You plonged in the real Naples were tipical behaviours and eno-gastronimic culture are on the spot. Lots of very peculiar shops of arts and dozens of little churces.

Like a local
Sep 2020
Narrow alleys, rubbish on the streets, motorbikes and cars in pedestrian areas... That is Naples! Having said this, it is a very interesting part of the city, and where you will mingle with the locals!
Excellent place for eating and buying souvenirs.

attention there
Jul 2020
attention there, you can get hit by a motorcycle, slip in the many rubbish on the floor, be mistreated in commerce and still have your wallet stolen or be offended by someone who begs for money, it is a typical place and it is worth it just for that, but it is once and never again

Wonderful walk in the heart of historical center of Naples
Feb 2020
Spaccanapoli is a line that divides Naples into two parties, you can't see it being down in the center.
Instead you can note it easily from the garden of Complesso of Saint Martin on the hill. Take a cable train (funicolare) to reach it!

Busy, Noisy, Vibrant
Sep 2019
I have to agree with other reviewers in that enjoying this place is in the eye of the beholder. It is loud, dirty, crowded and lively. It is one long street with a very cool square on one end and then blocks of “stuff” to see, shopping, cafes, old row houses with beautiful courtyards. I guarded my belongings and went for it. It is a street scene like no other.

Really Depends on What You Want
Dec 2019 • Friends
If you like crowds, rough and crude behaviours, people smoking everywhere, litter, generally lousy service, constant noise, overpriced souvenirs, then this is the place for you. Otherwise, avoid it. There’s nothing charming about the street.

Lively Street Scene - Beautiful Chaos
Nov 2019 • Couples
The beautiful chaos of Napoli reaches a crescendo on the Spaccanapoli. What a riot! Loved all the pizza, shops and bustle.

You can park everywhere you find but you need to pay per hour .
In my opinion use the metro that they have
Is easier.

What time do the shops and cafes close?

We were there rather late, several evenings, and many shops were still open. Different shops close at different times, but restaurants, bars, dessert bakeries, etc. were open late. Hope this helps.

Siamo due signore e dovendo gustare una buona pizza in piazzetta Nilo, chiedo se la zona si puo' attraversare con tranquillità a piedi fino alla stazione CENTRALE volendo percorrela a piedi, attraversando dunque via San Biagio, Forcella e Corso Umberto, dopo pranzo di domenica ?

Gentili signore, Napoli, come tutte le grandi città, presenta qualche minimo rischio ( pensate che qualche anno fa nella civilissima Londra mi hanno rubato il borsello in un pub ). Detto questo vi invito a fare con tranquillità il vostro percorso suggerendo soltanto alcune norme prudenziali che andrebbero prese sempre e ovunque : non indossate preziosi vistosi ( anche perchè le donne belle e simpatiche lo sono a prescindere dagli ornamenti ) e suggerirei l'utilizzo di un marsupio piuttosto che quello della borsa tradizionale. Per il resto godetevi la passeggiata e state tranquille. Un saluto da Mario

Did you actually stay in Spaccanapoli or just visit for a while? We are planning on staying in Naples 4 nights and thought of basing ourselves at the Hotel Decumani in Spaccanapoli. Is it safe? Will it be too long in that area? Is it easy to get around the rest of the city from there? Or.... would a hotel near the waterfront be better with a visit to Spaccanapoli?
Thanks....

There is not only ONE answer (as often happens in life....). The waterfront area is beautiful and deserves a day on its own., it's perfect if you're into a romantic mood. Though I do recommend the historic decumani district in order to savour the real heart of town. Naples is like an old fascinating lady that used to be extremely attractive when she was young. Discovering its antique beauty is part of the enjoyment. The historic center is safe if you don't carry expensive watches, cameras or mobile phones. Being an enthusiastic Neapolitan I will be more than happy to have you as guests for a pizza when you' ll be in town. You can send me a msg via facebk ( Antro Rebalti ). Have a nice trip and congratulations for choosing this wonderful town.
