Vomero Naples: San Elmo's castle
Let's start with the most popular attraction from which we can admire Naples at 360°. Yes folks, Sant Elmo's castle is located in the highest part of the city. Its 360° view will amaze you as soon as you climb to the top. Of the castle, it is possible to visit only the walls, along which you can walk. At every corner the view is different, but the most iconic is always the one with the backdrop of Vesuvius. You can also admire San Martino's Charterhouse from the top of the castle. Castel Sant Elmo hosts exhibitions and events throughout the year.
Spaccanapoli seen from the castle
There is another spot that deserves to be observed from the castle, and that is spaccanapoli. It is impossible not to notice this area of the city where Naples is split into two parts. It is impossible to go wrong because behind spaccanapoli you find the skyscrapers of the business center.
Vomero Naples: San Martino's Charterhouse
It is located in the same area as the castle, so you could visit them together. It is located in the same area as the castle, so you could visit them together.

Largo San Martino
It is the (pedestrian) space before entering the Charterhouse. A sort of small square from where (for free) you can admire one of the most iconic views in the city. In spring/summer it is a very popular spot at all hours of the day.
Petraio Stairs
Another incredible spot with a super view located a few steps from the Certosa. From the Petraio stairs you can have a fantastic glimpse of Naples and the sea. The stairs connect Corso Vittorio Emanuele (Chiaia area) and Vomero. Going down the stairs a bit you can take some nice photos.
Vomero Naples: Via Scarlatti
Social life made way. Via Scarlatti is famous for its shops and boutiques and for being pedestrian-only. A stroll among its shops, bars, and restaurants is a must.
Vomero Naples: Piazza Vanvitelli
Iconic square of Vomero and adjacent to via Scarlatti. The idea, in fact, would be to visit both by taking a walk. Stop to admire the enchanting neo-Renaissance style of the buildings.
