Also known as the Mercatino delle Scarpe (Shoe Market), Naples' largest open-air market is famous for its kicks, from designer overstock to no-frills everyday brands. Located 2.5km northeast of Napoli Centrale (catch bus 601 from Piazza Garibaldi), the place has over 550 stalls, with other good buys including handbags, casual wear, suits, colourful rolls of fabric, and kitchenware.
