Naples, a densely populated and bustling metropolis, boasts a historic centre that captivates both Italian and foreign visitors with its charm and rich heritage. The city’s neighbourhoods perfectly showcase the diverse characters that define it and are able to offer accommodation and lodging to suit all needs. The historic centre with its cobbled alleyways hosts hotels and intimate bed and breakfasts, whilst along the waterfront you’ll find luxury hotels offering rooms with truly spectacular panoramic views.
Those visiting Naples for a few days typically prefer to stay in the city centre so they can comfortably explore the numerous points of interest, whilst those planning a holiday of entertainment and nightlife can opt for accommodation in the University area. For those seeking peace and quiet, the best area is Chiaia, whilst Posillipo is particularly recommended for luxury lovers and shopping enthusiasts.

One of the best areas to stay in Naples is undoubtedly its historic centre which, besides being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the beating heart of the city and the ideal area for those wishing to visit the main attractions, such as Piazza del Plebiscito, San Gregorio Armeno Street or Naples Underground. In the historic centre you’ll find numerous accommodation options across a range of price brackets: from hotels in historic palaces to intimate bed and breakfasts, from well-known hotel chains to hostels.
The historic centre is a truly vibrant area full of restaurants, venues and bars where you can enjoy exceptional pizza or savour authentic Neapolitan coffee. Among its narrow streets and small piazzas, you’ll have the chance to meet locals and witness glimpses of everyday life. The most strategic streets in the centre are: Via Toledo (also known as Via Roma), Via dei Tribunali and Piazza Dante.

A particularly distinctive area of the Naples waterfront is characterised by the Santa Lucia Waterfront, Naples’ oldest neighbourhood. Once home to an ancient fishing harbour, today it boasts some of the city’s most luxurious hotels and excellent seafood restaurants where you can enjoy candlelit dinners whilst admiring the sea.
The area offers truly breathtaking views and the atmosphere here is genuinely romantic, making it a popular choice for honeymooning couples. Santa Lucia Waterfront is well served by public transport and is about a five-minute walk from Piazza del Plebiscito. The Megaris island, home to the famous Castel dell’Ovo, also belongs to this area.

If you fancy falling asleep to the sound of waves breaking against the rocks, then the most suitable area for your stay is the Naples Waterfront. The waterfront is not only a pedestrian zone free from traffic and cars but also a well-positioned area near the historic centre and well connected by public transport.
The area is frequently chosen for outdoor events and local festivities that attract not only tourists but also Neapolitans who love coming here, enchanted by the landscape that can be admired especially at sunset.
Naples’ waterfront is characterised by numerous restaurants and pizzerias serving traditional Neapolitan cuisine. Most of the hotels located here are upmarket and offer truly exclusive services and luxurious rooms with sea views.

Between the city centre and Santa Lucia Waterfront lies Chiaia, one of Naples’ most elegant and refined neighbourhoods. Characterised by a peaceful and unhurried atmosphere, this neighbourhood is ideal for those seeking accommodation away from the most touristy areas yet still well connected to the rest of the city via public transport.
This neighbourhood doesn’t have many major attractions, but what makes it pleasant is strolling through its refined alleyways where you’ll find cafés, upscale lounges, fine-dining restaurants and accommodation set in palatial buildings. Chiaia is also considered an excellent choice for shopping enthusiasts as it features boutiques of prestigious designer brands and various historic shops.
Accommodation rates can be higher compared to other city neighbourhoods, but choosing to stay here offers the advantage of lodging in a safe area just steps away from Lungomare Caracciolo and Castel dell’Ovo. The only drawback for those driving might be parking, which can prove genuinely difficult to find in this part of the city.

The area near the University of Naples and the port area are ideal for those seeking budget-friendly accommodation whilst remaining in a central part of the city. Here you’ll find small restaurants with excellent views over the docks on one side, and pubs, nightclubs and live music venues on the other, making this area suitable for those who enjoy nightlife. This area is well served by public transport and is frequented mainly by young people.

If you’d like to wake up admiring the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius, we recommend choosing accommodation in the hills that host the neighbourhoods of Posillipo and Vomero. Two enchanting places surrounded by greenery where you can stroll amongst craft boutiques and markets selling typical local goods.
Vomero, renowned for its historical and cultural treasures, such as Castel Sant’Elmo and the Ceramics Museum, offers a wide range of accommodation catering to different needs and price ranges, whilst Posillipo has a somewhat more exclusive feel and features mainly luxury accommodation. Thanks to funiculars and public transport, both areas are well connected to the lower part of the city.
