The Best Things to Do in Vomero, Naples

August 30, 2023

The uphill neighborhood of Vomero, Naples feels like a completely different city from the downhill historical center of Naples. Tree lined streets replace narrow cobblestone alleys, and well-dressed nonni wander along the pedestrian thoroughfares.

The neighborhood feels so different from other parts of the city because it was relatively uninhabited until the late 19th century. Then, the central funicular opened in 1928 and led to a booming expansion of the neighborhood.

What to see and do in Vomero

Vomero offers stunning views of Naples from various lookout points. It’s also known for its pub culture—craft beer lovers, this is the neighborhood for you! Many of these pubs stream the Napoli soccer games, giving you an awesome chance to enjoy the sport with local fans.

Read on for key points of interests, including a majestic 13th century castle, and the best places to dine and drink!

Insider’s tip : Vomero can be reached today with the central or Montesanto funiculars (get off at the last stop for both), or the Metro Linea 1 (get off at Vanvitelli). The funicular closes at 10 p.m., and the metro at around 10:30 p.m. Vomero offers lively nightlife. If you’re staying outside Vomero, you might need a taxi from Piazza Vanvitelli or Via Luca Giordano for evening plans. Alternatively, you can take the stairs down to the historic center.

Wander through the Mercato di Antignano

The oldest part of Vomero besides the castle is the market district of Antignano . From Monday to Friday it’s packed with locals doing their shopping at colorful produce and home goods stands. This tiny area of Vomero has ancient roots. It used to be a gathering area along one of the main streets leading out of the city in Roman times, and later became a little rural center where farmers lived.

Arrive at the market district by taking a leisurely walk along the main pedestrian street of Via Scarlatti and turning right on Via Luca Giordano. These two streets are filled with lush foliage in the summer, but they’re just as picturesque in the winter.

Catch city views from the Certosa di San Martino

Perched up on the hill above the city, the majestic Certosa di San Martino ( Largo S. Martino, 5 ) gives you the best view of the city. It’s home to a museum and cloisters complex which includes one of the most beautiful churches in Naples. The complex was originally constructed in the 14th century but has a centuries-long history of renovation in different architectural styles.

Even if you don’t enter the museum, the view from the lookout point of San Martino is an absolute must-see!

Enjoy Medieval vibes at Castel Sant’Elmo

Castel Sant’Elmo is an imposing structure that’s been part of the Naples cityscape for over 500 years. Construction started in the late 13th century, but the main fortress was built in the 16th century. It served as a strategic military outpost throughout the centuries. Surprisingly, it’s now home to exhibitions of contemporary art. Exploring the medieval castle—which provides a stunning sea view from the top terrace—is a wonderful activity for kids and families.

Catch a breath of fresh air at Villa Floridiana

The park of Villa Floridiana (main entrance on Via Domenico Cimarosa, 77)   is one of the few large green spaces in the city. It literally is a breath of fresh air, not to mention the best picnic spot around! It’s typically open every day except Tuesday.

The Villa itself is home to a small decorative arts museum, for any fans of ceramics or woodworking. Other draws of the park are a breathtaking sea view behind the villa, a charming little turtle pond, and a playground for children.

Plus, look for the hidden cat village—yes, an actual little village with tiny houses—nestled in the brush near the main lawn. If you’re facing away from the villa, it’s on the right. Even if you don’t find it, the park is full of free roaming and (usually) friendly felines.

Watch a Napoli game at a local pub

No matter where you go in the city, there’s one thing that unites Neapolitans: calcio (soccer or football, depending on which part of the world you’re from).

There are lots of pubs in Naples, but the best places to catch the Napoli game are L’Oca Nera and Frank Malone . Get ready to shout at the TV with locals rooting for Napoli.

What to eat and drink in Vomero

If you’re a beer connoisseur, Vomero is the place for you. There are lots of pubs that offer Italian, European, and American drafts, and some local breweries as well. Here are three of the coolest spots to check out:

• Loop Officina della Birra is one of the most well-known local breweries. They offer happy hour from 6:30-8pm, and serve not only classic meaty pub food, but also vegan and vegetarian burgers .
• Birra e Noccioline ( Largo Antignano, 14 ) is a tiny hole-in-the-wall shop that’s a Vomero mainstay in the warmer months. They sell bottles of beer for just a few euros. Try a tarallo ‘nzogna e pepe with your beer. It’s a rich, crumbly, salty cracker, and a staple of traditional street food in Naples .
• Bayern Haus ( Via Enrico Alvino, 65 ) is a mini tavern with a couple of wooden tables outside. It has a homey feel and is the perfect spot to grab a pint in the afternoon or evening.

Street food in Vomero

Have you ever heard of pizza al metro ? It’s a type of long pan pizza that has origins in the Sorrentine peninsula. Some of them reach one or even two meters long—hence the name. It’s akin to a focaccia with toppings, and Vomero is the best neighborhood to try it.

Try it here:

• Fermo pizza ( Via Francesco Cilea, 139 ) has indulgent slices generously topped with gooey cheese.
• Golocious Pizzeria (takeaway window at Via Domenico Cimarosa, 144 ) offers creative toppings like bacon and cheddar or sweet potato fries.

Looking for the best pizza in Italy? Look no further than Naples.

Neapolitans love burgers, and no one does it better than social media sensation Puok . They serve supremely juicy burgers with unique garnishes like crunchy peanut butter and rich caramelized onions. There’s no seating, so be prepared to eat standing up or find a stoop to perch on!

Traditional restaurants in Vomero

While street food in Vomero is quite popular, there are some wonderful eateries for a sit-down meal.

• Enrico Porzio pizzeria on main street Via Scarlatti makes mouth watering traditional Neapolitan pizza. Don’t miss their Margherrico —it comes with a fresh buffalo mozzarella on top of the pizza, plus a cheesy stuffed crust.
• Santarosa Trattoria ( Via Luca Giordano, 20a ) serves up traditional Neapolitan cuisine like pasta faglioli e cozze , or creamy pasta with beans and mussels.
• Vienm a Truvà ( Via Michele Kerbaker, 108 ) serves generous portions of pasta and features different variations of homemade meatballs.

Sweet treats in Vomero

We can’t wrap up a guide without providing some recommendations for your sweet tooth:

• La Carlotteria , a pastry shop owned by a woman, earned a 2023 mention in Gambero Rosso , one of the best known and exclusive food guides in Italy.
• Chalet Ciro serves up delicious hot graffa , freshly fried donuts coated in sugar.

Il Gelato Menella ( Via Alessandro Scarlatti, 97 ) is some of the best gelato we’ve ever tasted, and deserves an honorary spot on the list of best places for gelato in Italy .

The Top 10 Things To Do and See in Vomero, Naples

When the crowded streets of downtown Naples get a little too much, a quick hop over to the Vomero district of the city ensures an adventure that’s out of the ordinary. As Naples’ more upscale neighborhood, Vomero has a variety of intriguing and inclusive activities to entertain.

Beautiful Views

The first things visitors will notice when traveling around Vomero is the view. As the geography of the area is rather hilly, expansive sights of Naples , the Bay of Naples, and the historic Mount Vesuvius in the distance are all captured in intense detail. Whether during a clear day or as the sun sets, the views found here of historic and new buildings will leave anyone in awe. In short: it is a struggle to find a better view of Naples and the surrounding scenery.

A medieval fortress with an extensive political history dating all the way back to 1275, the Castle of St. Elmo has gone through years of change, including years of destruction, reconstruction and the addition of new parts. The foundation of the castle is built on volcanic rock, and for years was used as a symbol of political oppression, a prison. However, now the multi-purpose, structurally sound castle stands as a landmark attraction and is definitely worth a visit.

Certosa di San Martino

While visiting the castle, stop by this museum which used to served as a monastery. The impressive building was originally built in the 1300s, before being later expanded to its current size. After its abandonment by the Carthusian religious order that once lived within, the building became a museum that houses artifacts including one of the finest prescepios, or a scene of the Nativity.

Stadio Arturo Collana

Rugby and football are some of Italy’s favorite sports, and this stadium is one of the best places to catch a game. The original stadium was built in the 1920s and since that time it has seen many a game played on its grounds. Nowadays, guests can watch the club Internapoli , which has played at the stadium since the 1960s.

Antignano neighborhood

Although much of the historic architecture of Vomero has become replaced with Art Nouveau styles, Antignano neighborhood still hides a variety of old and intricately styled buildings. It is the town’s oldest neighborhood, dating back to Roman times when the area was largely rural. During the Bourbon period, however, numerous elaborate buildings were constructed, some mansions and political buildings. Wandering the street lets you take in the stylings of the architecture that established this as a unique neighborhood amidst the streets of Vomero.

Vomero has plenty of authentic and classy Italian styles to intrigue any fashionista. Explore the number of shops found among the hilly streets of this neighborhood. Check out the London store , or head over and explore one of the many vintage clothing stores. The variety of clothing to be discovered among the alleys and streets is limitless, so get ready for some real retail therapy – Vomero style.

Every region in Italy offers a unique spin on that traditional Italian dish that has entranced people for so long and Vomero is no exception. The area offers any number of family-owned, friendly pizzerias to satisfy not just the hunger for excellent pizza but also a desire to get a true taste of the neighborhood and area. Head over to Pizzeria Vomero and settle in for some hot and fresh pizza that’s truly top-notch.

Vomero Market

Speaking of food, Vomero has a very vibrant and bustling market where visitors will come away with a number of fresh fruits and vegetables. Visit the market Monday through Saturday and find fantastic deals on cheeses, meats and a diverse selection of other household goods. The vendors are all local and willing to make deals that will leave customers both happy and healthy. There’s nothing quite like visiting a market in Italy, so be sure to make this stop in Vomero.

Hang out at the sports bars

Missed a chance to catch a game at the stadium? Not to worry, Vomero is full of sports bars where a whole new side of eager sports watching can be enjoyed. For instance, at Frank Malone , guests will find an array of English beers that help support the football teams represented by the scarves hanging from the ceilings. Among the locals cheering for the home team, it’s a great chance to get a sense of the passion Italy has for sport.

Villa Floridiana

Ferdinand IV’s wedding gift to the duchess of Florida, Villa Floridiana is a beautiful open public park. After Ferdinand’s purchase of the mansion, the gardens were planted in their current manner and offer a wonderful environment for walking and enjoying the outdoors. The actual villa, built in the early 1800s in a neoclassical style, is used now by the Martina National Museum of Ceramics , and houses a variety of porcelain and majolica works. By Michelle Schmid

I designed the salt and pepper shaker to have an extra lid So you could throw it in a lunch box or something, and the pepper wouldn't mix out. I also made a version that didn't have a lid for if you do want to use it. where a lid is not required. The lid is designed with a point two-millimeter tolerance. and We'll prevent the pepper. from falling into the lid and keep it all in the container. So when you screw the lid off, there won't be pepper/salt in a small clump. before you start shaking.

Note, if you rescale this, the threads might not have the right tolerance and If you do have issues printing it and the threads are too tight, feel free to make it a little larger and it should fit.

Site: First Community Arena on Southern Illinois-Edwardsville campus

TV; radio: CBS Sports Network, 96.7-FM

Opening bell: The Gophers (20-15), who have won five of their last six, get a Billikens team that finished seventh in the 15-team Atlantic 10 Conference. This is the Gophers' first WNIT final. They won the 2012 WBI. This will also be the Gophers' third road game in five days. The Gophers and Billikens have two common opponents this year: Drake and Wisconsin. The Gophers beat Drake in overtime but lost twice to Wisconsin. St. Louis lost to Drake but beat Wisconsin 65-60 in the WNIT quarterfinals. The Badgers lost star post player Serah Williams to a knee injury in the first minute of that game. Still, St. Louis (21-18) has won 10 of its last 11 games.

Mallory Heyer has averaged 11.8 points and 9.0 assists in four WNIT games. Center Sophie Hart has scored in double figures in all four WNIT games and her first double-double as a Gopher at Troy. St. Louis senior forward Peyton Kennedy leads the team in scoring (16.9), shoots 49.6% and averages 5.3 rebounds per game. She has averaged 23.2 in the WNIT.

Down three with 2:18 to play against North Dakota State, Minnesota finished the game 7-0, then 21-9 at Wyoming and 6-2 after a fourth-quarter lead had shrunk at Troy.
