Local shops selling seafood and vegetables are side by side with souvenirs for tourists and everything you could ever need to buy. Take time to look up, and above the shops and stalls are ancient churches and monuments to remind you how long these market streets have been around. The monuments above the shops are a great way to prevent getting lost as there are so many routes to choose.Visited November 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 18 November 2023

Officially not a street :D However, it does cross for about 2kilometers through the city along different landmarks. Super vibrant part of the city. Not to miss out on when in Naples.

Hustle and bustle - lots to see, smell and hear. Narrow streets, shops including jewellery, souvenirs, shoes, bags, fruit & veg, fish and seafood and much more.

Spaccanapoli is a tourist attraction in Napoli. It is a main street that crosses traverses the center of the city of Naples, Italy. It is free to walk and characteristic but extremely crowded in the summer months.

Cool area to go to and experience local flavor and cheap meals. It’s worth taking a look if you have time to kill. Stroller friendly if you have a little one.

Fun walking through the narrow cobblestone streets packed with shops, churches, food, and people. It was draped with blue and white streamers to celebrate Napoli winning the Serie A championship.

Where do I park if I want to visit Spaccanapoli?

Chino Valley, AZ793 contributions
Sorry! We traveled by train, and stayed in the central area, so we didn’t have a car. Maybe you can go on the Naples website for parking information. Another possibility is looking at google maps to look for parking. Try looking for: parcaggio — or something like that spelling, which indicates “parking area” in Italian.

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.
