Luxury shopping
San Pasquale a Chiaia area, surrounded by numerous alleys and small streets, is the snobbish part of the city. After visiting the church of the same name in the square, you can continue along Via Carlo Poerio, stopping in the many antique shops that display paintings, furniture, and even rare objects. Continuing, you reach Piazza dei Martiri, with the monument dedicated to the fallen of the Republic of 1799, where the Feltrinelli megastore is located. Instead, by venturing into the various alleys, you can stroll through Vico Belledonne, Via Cavallerizza, Via Bisignano, and Vico Alabardieri, rich in clothing and gift shops, wineries, and some bakeries, streets that make up the famous bar area. Via dei Mille, Via Filangieri, and Via Chiaia are among the most frequented streets for those who want to shop in high-fashion stores. The most famous ones are the large boutique of Louis Vuitton and the jewelry store of Bulgari, must-visit stops for purchases of international designer products. Along Via dei Mille, you can also stop at PAN, the Palace of Arts in Naples, which hosts various exhibitions of contemporary and non-contemporary art by local and international artists, almost always with free admission. Traveling along Via Filangieri, where you can stop at Prada, you reach Via Chiaia, a street teeming with clothing and shoe stores, but also with street food venues, bars, and ice cream parlors. Along the way, you'll find the Chiaia Bridge, built in 1636, which connects the area to the Pizzofalcone hill (but currently the elevator is out of order). At the end of the street, you emerge into the famous Piazza del Plebiscito.
