This is the neighbourhood for you if you want to experience the real Naples: art, culture, hustle and bustle, hospitality and plenty of delicious food.
If you love architecture and history, this is the neighbourhood for you. San Lorenzo and Pendino form the historic heart of the city. These neighbourhoods are densely populated and sit on top of archaeological excavations. But they are also modern neighbourhoods; there are universities here, and the students keep the streets bustling. The main attractions are at the junction of Via San Gregorio Armeno (the ‘nativity scene street’) and Via dei Tribunali, where you can visit the Complesso Monumentale San Lorenzo Maggiore. There are also important museums, churches of great historical value, and traditional Neapolitan pizzerias and cafés.
