Lungomare Caracciolo
Via Francesco Caracciolo
Naples’ most famous seafront promenade, with views of Mount Vesuvius, Castel dell’Ovo and Capri. It is where locals go for a stroll and the sunset.
Lungomare Caracciolo runs about 2.5 km from Mergellina harbor to Via Partenope near Castel dell’Ovo. On the sea side are rocks and small piers; on the other side are the Villa Comunale public park and the old building of the Naples Aquarium. Most of the route is for pedestrians and cyclists. You can start at Castel dell’Ovo and walk west all the way to Mergellina, eating pizza, ice cream or fried seafood by the sea. Entry is free, and it is busiest in the evening. You can also visit Castel dell’Ovo and Piazza del Plebiscito nearby. Take Metro Line 6, or walk.
