Where to stay in Naples
6 areas worth booking in Naples, sorted by the budget each one actually suits — what the neighborhood feels like, and what a night there costs.
Budget — best areas
≈ $25 / nightThe Greek grid of Spaccanapoli and Via dei Tribunali: churches, pizzerias and laundry overhead. Everything worth seeing is a walk away, at the price of noise late into the night.
Steep lanes off Via Toledo with Maradona murals, trattorias and bassi opening straight onto the street. Lively and safe by day; cheap rooms and loud nights.
Mid-range — best areas
≈ $90 / nightThe elegant quarter between the Villa Comunale and the shopping streets, with the city's best aperitivo bars and a calmer evening than the centre.
Up the funicular, a calmer residential quarter with Castel Sant'Elmo and the Certosa di San Martino. Fewer sights, cooler air and the best panorama in the city.
Luxury — best areas
≈ $300 / nightThe waterfront promenade from Castel dell'Ovo to Mergellina. The grand hotels face the bay and Vesuvius, and the old centre is fifteen minutes on foot.
The headland west of the city: villas, terraced restaurants and rocky coves for swimming. Beautiful and far from everything; you will need taxis.
