Lungomare

The passeggiata is a time-honored Italian tradition that calls for taking a stroll in the evening, usually after dinner. This casual social event is a moment when friends spontaneously meet up, when lovers walk hand in hand, when kids are treated to a gelato by mom and dad. Naples’ Lungomare, a promenade situated along the Mediterranean Sea, is perhaps the most popular place for this evening ritual. Where to stay in Naples with family: the Lungomare (seafront) is a great spot, especially if you have toddlers or little kids. It is mostly a pedestrian area, making things so convenient. A great alternative is Chiaia, especially if you have grown-up kids that appreciate going shopping, besides visiting historical attractions and nice restaurants, it’s also very close to the beach.
