Naples is a city to be experienced in depth, but also observed from above, where its charm is amplified between the sea, the rooftops, and Mount Vesuvius dominating the horizon. It's not just about capturing panoramas in photographs: these are experiences to be lived, perhaps in front of a coffee, a typical dessert, or a glass of wine.
We have selected six panoramic spots for you that encapsulate the authentic soul of Naples, combining beauty and taste.
1. Monte Echia: the cradle of Partenope
Known as Pizzofalcone, it is the promontory that guards the origins of ancient Partenope. Today, it is easily accessible thanks to the new panoramic elevator that connects via Santa Lucia with the summit. From here, the view opens onto Castel dell'Ovo, the waterfront, and Vesuvius.
Where to stop: [Babar] - a new refined venue, ideal for an aperitif or a coffee with a view.
2. Piazzale di San Martino and Castel Sant'Elmo
One of the most iconic views of Naples, overlooking Spaccanapoli, Capodimonte, the sea, and the islands. Climbing onto the ramparts of Castel Sant'Elmo, the city reveals itself in 360°, in a panorama that combines sea, history, and architecture.
Where to stop: [Scaturchio Certosa Caffè] - a classic Neapolitan spot to enjoy a coffee or a sfogliatella with a view.
3. Villa Floridiana (Vomero)
A green oasis in the heart of Vomero. From the belvedere, reachable through the scenic stairs of the villa, you can admire the gulf with the Rotonda Diaz, Capri, and Villa Comunale.
Where to stop: [Flora Central] - a bar immersed in the villa, perfect for a moment of relaxation surrounded by nature and sea view.
4. Parco Virgiliano (Posillipo)
The park that embraces Nisida, Capri, Procida, and Ischia. Each terrace offers a different perspective: from the Gulf of Pozzuoli to the archaeological remains of the Bay of Trentaremi.
Where to stop: [Lucrezio Café] - elegant and panoramic, perfect for a sunset aperitif.
5. Via Partenope and Lungomare Caracciolo
The quintessential stroll: 3 km between Castel dell'Ovo, Vesuvius, and the gulf stretching to Posillipo. At sunset, it offers one of the most romantic spectacles in Naples.
Where to stop: [Chalet Ciro 1952] - a historic meeting point, famous for coffee, ice cream, and warm graffe pastries.
6. Capodimonte and the Belvedere of the Royal Palace
From the hill of Capodimonte, the city extends to the sea: a panorama that combines art, nature, and silence. Perfect for those seeking an elegant and contemplative Naples.
Where to stop: [Delizie Reali - Giardino Torre] - a bistro immersed in the Real Bosco di Capodimonte, between Bourbon history and authentic flavors.
