From there, you'll wander through the elegant Galleria Umberto I, and catch a glimpse of Europe's oldest opera house, before diving into the buzz of the Pignasecca street market.Next, we'll head down Spaccanapoli – the street that slices Naples in two. As you stroll past the timeworn churches and crumbling palaces, you'll get to sample some Neapolitan classics – cuoppo di frittura, a paper cone full of fried bites, and pizza fritta, pizza dough that's deep-fried instead of baked. It's crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, and typically filled with tasty ingredients before being sealed and fried like a calzone.Then, you'll tuck into some sweet treats – sfogliatelle and babà, two classic Neapolitan pastries that are impossible to resist. You'll also stop off at Via Toledo Metro station, home to colourful mosaics and murals.
