Galleria Umberto I

Cultural siteNaplesAbout 20 minutes

Naples' answer to Milan's arcade, built a decade later on a similar scale, directly opposite the opera house. Free, roofed, and a useful shortcut in rain. Worth looking up at the glass and down at the zodiac set into the floor, then moving on.
