We made a quick stop at Galleria Umberto I while exploring Naples. Built in 1890, this beautiful…read morepublic shopping gallery is known for its impressive glass-and-iron dome, stunning mosaic floors, and elegant architecture. Even though it's one of Naples' most iconic landmarks, it still feels very much local with many gathering here and chatting late into the evening. There's a mix of high-end and moderately priced shops here. Since we visited later in the day, most of the stores had already closed for the night. Luckily, Mary's Sfogliatella was still open, and we made sure not to miss it. We ordered a few warm, flaky sfogliatella and enjoyed them later in our hotel room. Having visited Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II years ago, it's hard not to compare the two. Naples' version isn't quite as grand, but it has its own unique personality. It feels more lived-in, with a little more grit and character, which makes it fit Naples perfectly. I wouldn't go out of my way just to see it, but if you're already in the area, it's definitely worth a quick visit. Spend a few minutes looking up at the incredible dome, admire the details in the flooring, and if Mary's is still open, do yourself a favor and grab a sfogliatella.

Galleria Commerciale di Piazza Garibaldi (Shopping Gallery of Piazza Garibaldi) is a shopping…read moreconcourse that's part of the Garibaldi metro station directly in front of Napoli Centrale. Since ratings are so subjective how nice it is really depends on who you ask lol. Coming from NYC it's nothing to write home about. This gallery sits below ground and is accessible via escalators, stairs and elevator. The standout elements of architecture are certainly the overhead "tree arms" fanning out glass sun roofing over the length of the open arcade. There are about a dozen shops and another several storefronts with "open to rent" signs. Several clothing retailers including casual, sportswear and shoes, intimates, children's wear, a handful of candy and fast food restaurants. Entrance to be metro lines L1 and L2 here too, though I didn't take it from here so can't comment. The plaza that this shopping concourse is located in, is very large and open, unfortunately with it being close to the train station, similar to many other cities this is also where there's a confluence of unhoused people squatting in the vicinity. Seeing homeless individuals often in NYC this isn't anything new, seemed to be a fair amount of refugees in addition to the general homeless population of sometimes mentally ill and/or those in unfortunate situations with no support network. My note to those walking in the area is that these people are usually not dangerous, and there is plenty of police presence in the area. Like traveling anywhere in large cities just be wary of your surroundings and try to fit in rather than being loud and unknowingly disruptive, which draws attention.

This is the shopping center right outside the train station, and it's also a major gathering point…read morefor tours and buses. You'll find a variety of shops to explore, either get souvenir or a quick bite.
