Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Being a residential area, the Castle and the Certosa are the destinations that justify the tourist's visit.
They can be reached via the cable car (central or from Montesanto)
There is a slightly uphill walk to face but nothing strenuous.

A lot of people pass through Vomero to visit the two main attractions here, viz. Castel Sant'Elmo and Certosa e Museo di San Martino. Vomero is quiet and peaceful and a bit hilly. Also there is generally a lack of street signs. So unless you have a map in your hand or on your cell phone, it is easy to get lost and the hilly neighborhood will make you pay for taking a wrong turn.

Vomero has incredible views overlooking the Bay of Naples, and Mt. Vesuvius is prominently on display. The neighborhood is slightly less touristy than lower Naples, but still very crowded. Lower Naples is congested and filthy, and Vomero is just congested. There's excellent mass transit from lofty Vomero to the rest of the city below.

Beautiful neighborhood, very green. From the Castle of Sant' Elmo, you can see an amazing panorama that ranges from Vesuvius to the islands of Capri, Ischia, Nisida and Procida, not to mention the historic center of Naples with the various decumani. The inhabitants are very kind in giving information.

The Volmero Hillside enjoys sweeping views of the city and port of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. You'll be removed from the over-crowded hustle and bustle of Naples and tiresome non-stop congestion. Despite the exclusive location, getting from the city below to Volmero is simple. Take the funicular right to the top. From the station, virtually everything is an easy walk.
It you are in a walking mood, take the “Stairs of Naples”, ancient pedestrian paths connecting Volmero Hill with the city center and the coast. Get a street map. The Stairs of Naples and the cobblestone streets they connect can make for a long walk (with an incline), so good walking shoes are in order. From Via Toledo, head up Via Tarsia for a few block to Via Montesanto. In ends in stairway leading to the Scala di Montesanto pedestrian way. After climbing the grand staircase at the end of Scalia di Montesanto, you'll pop out onto Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Cross the street and head south (left) about 500 feet to reach the entrance of the Pedamentina San Martino. Built in the 14th Century, this zig-zagging 416-tread stone staircase leads 650 meters up the hill to Sant'Elmo Castle and the Certosa di San Martino complex with beautiful views along the way.
Once you have reached the top, you'll discover Volmero's upscale shopping, restaurants, bank ATMs, and the funicular station that will take you down the hill the easy way if you like. Your first stop should be Certosa di San Martino, a don’t-miss Volmero (and Naples) attraction. It’s an over-the-top baroque monastery gushing with fine frescoes, stunning inlaid stone floors and mosaics, intricate wood inlays, plus a wonderfully interesting art collection and on-site museum.

A lovely area of Naples, much cleaner and vibrant with nice classy shops so much better than the rest of Naples. I have been to Naples many times but this was my wife’s first visit and she could actually relax in Vomero.
Try Traitoria Caprese if you can, full of locals, great value lunchtime menu but the Sunday Italian buffet is by far best value. 12 euros per person and a wonderful choice of food.
Vomero is one of the few areas you can actually sit outside a bar and have a drink and people watch. It now also benefits from having a lot more pedestrianised areas meaning not to many noisy cars and fumes.
View are also spectacular so a must visit place in my opinion

We stayed little over one day in Naples and found the view from the mountain near St Elmo as the best one. We used Funicolare di Montesanto to reach Morghen station. In around 10 minutes walk reached crossed entrance of St Elmo to see Vesuvius mountain and city with glowing lights at the base. View was spectacular. Must see if you are into Naples.

This is without a doubt the most beautiful district of Naples, quieter and less busy for what I could see during my journey here.
The Vomero is famous throughout the world for its spectacular panoramic views and almost all the photos that you see with the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius in the background has Been taken right here at Vomero.
In addition you can also visit the famous castle of St. Elmo which is also located right here just by following the signs direction.
To reach this place you need to take the funicular railway at a cost of just a couple of €uros it will take you up to the top in a few minutes.
Definitely an experience not to be missed for those who come here for the first time in Naples.

Stayed here for a few days on my trip there with family. Initially I wasn't sure as we stayed close to the quattro giordino metro but then discovered all it's treasures. Up the hill in the pedestrian area it's fabulous with cafés and bakeries and great street markets. The high street is great for shopping. Some of the best gelato and pizza places exist here. It's busy late into the evening with enough places to eat and drink. Fabulous views overlooking old. Naples too. You can take the stairs down towards the sights and the docks and you can take the Funicular back up. Overall has a great vibe and much better I feel that staying in the Old Naples. If I return this is where I'd be staying again .

Una volta arrivati al Vomero con la funicolare, quale punto o quale via bisogna raggiungere per ammirare la vista panoramica della città di cui tutti parlano? Grazie!
Written 30 September 2018
dalla funicolare devi salire con le scale mobili verso via morghen, raggiungere la funicolare di montesanto (se non sei arrivato con quella) e poi salire ancora qualche stradina per arrivare a castel sant'elmo e infine allo slargo di san martino. dalla funicolare circa 10 minuti.
