The Mercato della Pignasecca is an amazing journey into the world of Naples. Its colorful street side stalls sell Neapolitan hip hop CDs, oh-so-snug 'nonna' slippers and discounted perfumes as well as fresh produce from fish to fruits and vegetables. Strolling through the market allows for a multisensory escapade with fragrant delis and knowledgeable homemakers on the hunt for perfect products. On street corners, vendors offer sweet and savoury culinary treats and cups of hot coffee to refuel. Exploring the market even further will lead to shoemaker workshops, art galleries and small churches where local traditions are kept alive. It's a place where locals go to rub elbows, as much as buy produce, or simply experience the unique atmosphere. With its lively atmosphere and array of goods, the Pignasecca Market is sure to be a highlight for travelers looking for authentic experiences in Naples.
