The glamour heart — Piazzetta cafe scene, Via Camerelle designer-row shopping, the islands biggest hotels.
The eastern hilltop town centred on the Piazzetta — four cafes around a 50-square-metre square that the world parades through. Via Camerelle is the designer-shopping spine, Tragara walk delivers the Faraglioni photograph. The luxury hotels (Quisisana, Tiberio Palace, Tragara) cluster here. Pedestrian: cars are not allowed.
