Ideal if you want to experience Naples alongside the Neapolitans; these are the lively working-class neighbourhoods.
If you’re looking for the slightly rougher but oh-so-cosy side of Naples, this is the place to be. The Quartieri Spagnoli and Rione Sanità are working-class neighbourhoods. The Quartieri Spagnoli used to be a neighbourhood full of gambling dens and prostitution; Spanish soldiers once lived here. These neighbourhoods were notorious for a long time, but now they’re fascinating areas that offer a glimpse into Neapolitan life. In the Quartieri Spagnoli, follow the colourful signs to a panoramic view or a mural, or discover 24 centuries of history, hidden amongst the hustle and bustle of everyday life in Rione Sanità. You’ll also find plenty of delicious food here.
