Lungomare - Via Caracciolo

The city’s 3km long Seafront Promenade, Lungomare wraps around the bay from Mergellina on the west to the end of Via Partenope on the east. With the sea on one side and Naples Villa Comunale Park on the other, Lungomare is a green and blue oasis in the center of the city with some of the most panoramic views in the world.

 

To the east, Castel dell’Ovo juts out along the tiny island of Megaride, an area of seafront restaurants and caffes known as Borgo Marinari. Behind the castle, Vesuvius dominates the skyline then melds into the rugged terrain of the Sorrentine Peninsula. In the middle of the bay, the unmistakable shape of Capri rises out of the sea pointing towards the promontory of Posillipo, which wraps itself back around to Mergellina at the western end of Lungomare. The city behind, a kaleidoscope of colors climbing up Naples hills, Castel Sant’Elmo and the San Martino Charterhouse looking down from the top.
