Cities
Via Toledo — Naples' shopping spine
A pedestrian mile from Piazza Plebiscito to Piazza Dante — Spanish-era arcades, Italian chains, and a metro station that's a museum.
Two stops worth making
Galleria Umberto I — the 19th-century iron-and-glass arcade, twin sister of Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele but emptier. Espresso at Gambrinus afterwards.
Toledo metro station — voted Europe's most beautiful underground station. Take the escalator down to the deep mosaic-walled platforms. Free with a metro ticket.
