For high-quality leather goods, visit Tramontano. Since 1865, this family-run shop has been making a name for itself, and the father-son duo will even create items to order. Famous patrons include Tom Cruise and Woody Allen (149E Via Chiaia, tel: 081 414 758).

Each morning from sunrise until 9am, the Mercato die Fiori flower market blooms beside the Castel Nuovo. Local florists buy their goods here, so you'll find deals a-plenty, while the array of colourful plants makes a charming photo op for early birds.

Gay-Odin (61 Via Benedetto Croce, tel: 081 551 0794, gay-odin.it) is a chocolate lover's dream, with everything from chocolates filled with fruits or liqueurs, to a chilli-flavoured truffle, and the salty "foresta", which looks like tree bark.

Pop into Art Chiaja for uniquely Neapolitan souvenirs such as hand-carved cameos, traditional coral jewelry, Pulcinella figurines, cornicelli (southern Italian good-luck horns) and more (238 Via Chiaia, tel: 081 497 6222).
