Shopping in Naples

Naples is still one of the cheaper cities of Italy. According to your means you can choose among big name shops in Via dei Mille, Via Chiaia, Via Poerio and Via Calabritto, or the less expensive shops in Via Roma, Corso Umberto or the typical local street markets. Wandering the streets of Naples, as in all the port cities, you’ll see improvised markets and choreographic negotiations. Maybe somebody will try to sell you a new mobile at a very low prize… Pay attention at it! They want to cheat you. If you buy it probably you’ll find an empty box or, at least, a wooden cellphone. Welcome in the full neapolitan tradition, you just received a “pacco” (literally: “pack”, it means “to trick someone”). Clearly it’s pretty good to pay a little attention to avoid bringing home these expensive and useless souvenirs. Do not trust people who wants to offer you expensive things at a very low price, above all if they try to sell you from a corner of a street and they’re impatient to take the money. Therefore we recommend you a traditional shopping and we suggest you where to go shopping and what to buy in Naples.
