Back to the five things

Mergellina → Chiaia → Vomero

Walk uphill and let the city unfold

Start by the sea, cross Chiaia, and save the funicular for the final part of the climb.

Why it is worth doing

Naples is a vertical city. Between the sea, Chiaia, and Vomero, the views, atmosphere, and pace of the streets change quickly.

How to plan it

  1. 01

    Begin along the Mergellina waterfront.

  2. 02

    Walk through Chiaia using the side streets as well as the main routes.

  3. 03

    Decide how far to climb based on the heat and your energy.

  4. 04

    Check ANM service updates before taking the funicular or metro.

Local tips

  • In summer, finding shade matters more than saving a few steps.
  • Wear shoes that can handle polished stone and stairs.
  • If you are tired, the metro is an easy backup.
