Best for a shot of cinematic Naples. The Quartieri Spagnoli, or Spanish Quarters, were built in the 16th century and are said to form Napoli’s most authentic neighbourhood. This is the Naples of the movies: fluttering laundry strung between shuttered windows, cigarette-puffing residents surveying the street below from their balconies, and vendors, many in the same spot for years, flogging their produce – ripe tomatoes, plump olives or knobbly citrus fruits. The best way to explore the Quartieri Spagnoli is without a map or a plan, stopping in whatever shops, churches and markets that look enticing. But if you happen to pass (or arrive at) the Toledo metro stop, it’s worth popping inside to see the spellbinding immersive artwork inside – a more modern side to this old neighbourhood

Folk, typical, old, hip and coming, lively area of Naples. Go for churches, trattorie, beautiful ancient palazzi, Maradona murales, vicoli, people, food, everything.

There’s no place that does self-expression quite like Naples, whether that means hand gestures, Baroque altarpieces, cooking or, increasingly, street art. Walk around the cobbled maze of the Centro Storico and Quartieri Spagnoli and you’ll find a likeness of Sophia Loren pouting across Via San Liborio; a bemused Totò, the much-loved Neapolitan actor and comedian, looking down Spaccanapoli; and, everywhere, a jubilant, defiant Diego Maradona. Artists like Zed 1, Blu, Alice Pasquini, Roxy in the Box and Cyop & Kaf have added an extra layer to the city’s celebrated assortment of decorative and architectural styles. On Piazza dei Girolamini, a Banksy piece, Madonna with a Pistol, is now officially protected by the city, after an earlier work by the British artist was covered in scribbled tags.
