Shopping in Naples

Naples may not be the home of Italian high fashion but it is a city full of artisans and heirloom businesses and one where the price of a tailor-made suit will leave you with some change in your pocket.

Key areas: 

Via Toledo is the main shopping street in Naples. Many high-street fashion brands are available here. You can find more exclusive shops along Via Chiaia and also in parts of Vomero. Spaccanapoli is the location of individual shops that sell everything from bespoke shoes and suits to jewellery and groceries.

Markets: 

Mercato di Porta Nolana and La Pignasecca are Naples most high profile markets; both renown for their super fresh produce and fish, along with a whole heap of household and counterfeit goods. There’s a vintage book market on via Port’Alba on weekday afternoons, and on the last two weekends of every month the Fiera Antiquaria Napoletana antiques market sets up in Villa Comunale (0800-1400).

Shopping centres: 

Rinascente, via Toledo 343, and Vomero's Coin, via Scarlatti, are the city's best department stores.

Opening hours: 

Shops in Naples are open Monday to Saturday from 0900-1300 and 1600-2000. Supermarkets and department stores stay open all day, and are open on Sundays.

Tax information: 

Value-added tax (IVA) is added to every purchase in Italy. If you are a non-EU resident and spend more than euro155 on a single item then you can claim a refund when you leave the country. The refund is only available from shops that display a ‘tax free Italy’ (or similar) sign.
