Mercatino di Antignano

Naples


Up high in Vomero, this is one of the city's best-loved and less-touristy markets. You'll find everything from bags and shoes, to linen and kitchenware. Hawk-eyed shoppers will usually find some pretty good deals. If you're a food lover, salivate over bountiful stalls and shops selling everything from seasonal vegetables and tubs of marinated olives, to stocco and salsiccie di coniglio (rabbit sausages).

Note that many vendors take August off.
