Via Partenope is the beginning of the seafront road where Castel dell’Ovo
(Egg’s Castle) rises on an island that is connected to the mainland. From the castle, you have a fantastic view of the Mount Vesuvius as well as the quarters Mergellina
and Posillipo. At the picturesque marina you find excellent restaurants and bars.
A little further, Villa Comunale, a big park with palm trees, chalets, and beautiful fountains, extends along the
famous seafront road, Via Caracciolo. If you are interested, you can visit the zoological station, Aquarium Dohrn, which is Europe’s oldest aquarium. The walk along the seashore to the touristic harbour of
Mergellina is very romantic. Close by the harbour, fishermen sell their freshly caught fish. At the end of Via Caracciolo, nice chalets invite you to have a cocktail while you are enjoying the sea view.
Tip: On
Sundays, the seafront road is closed for cars and you can walk freely, or rent a bicycle. And on some weekends from September to May, the antique fair, Fiera Antiquaria Napoletana, takes place in the mornings.
