Naples - Via Toledo

From the Piazza Trieste e Trento (also called Via Toledo after Don Pedro de Toledo who built it), the city's principal traffic artery and a scene of constant bustle and activity, runs north for a distance of 2km/1.25mi, rising gently uphill. It is crossed by numerous streets and lanes, many of those on the left being stepped lanes climbing up to the Corso Vittorio Emanuele (4km/2.5mi long: beautiful views). The streets on the right, descending to the harbor and the Marine Station, are the center of the city's business and commercial life. At the end of Via Roma, the continuation of Via Toledo, is the spacious Piazza Dante.
