One of the best antiques shops in the city, it’s rather like browsing through a museum. Real treasures are on display, including 19th-century gouaches of Neapolitan panoramas, 17th-century ceramics and 16th-century bronze candlesticks. Prices are high.

An up-market outlet for stylish clothing, including a good range of designer labels from Italy, France and Spain.

This little bottega (workshop) provides the opportunity to see craftsmen at work, refining the lifelike details of wonderful nativity figures. Most of them are replicas of famous originals, but they will also create personalized versions to order.

This little shop carries a charming line of locally and internationally crafted jewellery, masks, lamps, mirrors and candles.

Come to this pleasant shop for art supplies, fine handmade stationery and top-quality fountain pens, including decorative hand-blown glass pens.

In an appealing little piazza just off Spaccanapoli this funky music shop is good if you’re looking for CDs of local music. The proprietor will help you find everything from traditional tarantella music to the latest Neapolitan rockers.
