Good to Know

  • Timing Your Waterfront Day

    Plan the Lungomare walk for late morning or late afternoon when the sun is softer, then aim to be on Via Caracciolo or near Castel dell'Ovo about 45–60 minutes before sunset for the best colors and more locals out enjoying the promenade.

  • Cash, Cards, and Ordering Like a Local

    Carry some cash for small purchases like coffee or gelato along the seafront, but expect most sit-down restaurants and pizzerias to take cards; when ordering pizza, each person typically gets their own whole pizza, and service can be unhurried, so allow extra time and ask for the bill (il conto) when you’re ready.
