Santa Lucia
Next to the port and Castel dell'Ovo
What it's like
Santa Lucia sits between Piazza del Plebiscito and Borgo Marinari. This is where you'll find the classic seafront hotels, with views of Castel dell'Ovo and the bay.
It's very convenient for the ferry to the islands (Molo Beverello), and an easy walk to Palazzo Reale and Teatro San Carlo.
Municipio station serves the area, with connections to Toledo, Dante and Garibaldi.
Heavy traffic around the port at ship departure times, especially in summer. Hotels with sea views are often pricier, so compare rates.
Good fit if…
- You want sea views and a view of Castel dell'Ovo
- You'll be taking a ferry to the islands
- You prefer a more relaxed pace, with the sights within walking distance
Maybe not if…
- You're after the strongly "local" feel of the historic centre
- You want several metro lines nearby (here it's mainly Municipio station)
