The area

What it's like

Chiaia is an elegant district of boutiques, cafés and wide avenues. Right alongside it runs the Lungomare, the seafront promenade with views of the bay and Vesuvius.

It's calmer than the historic centre and suits those who prefer quiet and a more relaxed pace.

Metro & getting around
Chiaia-Monte di Dio (Line 6)Arco Mirelli (Line 6)Funicolare di Chiaia

Line 1 doesn't reach here. Use Line 6, the Funicolare di Chiaia, or walk to Municipio station. Always check whether Line 6 is running before relying on it.

What to watch out for

A residential area with less nightlife and fewer hotels than the centre. The distance from Line 1 means a bit more walking or an extra change.

Good fit if…

  • You prefer a quiet, well-kept area
  • You enjoy walks along the seafront (Lungomare)
  • You don't mind a bit of walking or an extra change to reach the centre

Maybe not if…

  • You want to get around mainly by Line 1
  • You're looking for a lively nightlife scene
