How to avoid the worst of it today

Spaccanapoli 9:00 Shutters rolling up and cool empty churches; do the Sansevero chapel first, it fills fastest.
Pompeii Midday The site's size dilutes what its gate concentrates; the museum's cool halls do the same job in town.
Castel Sant'Elmo Golden hour The funicular to Vomero, the whole bay from the ramparts, then the seafront.

Where the crowds are

Spaccanapoli & San Gregorio Armeno: The old city's main lanes, at their densest from late morning.
The pizza landmarks: The famous doorways hold hour-long waits at meal times.

Quiet places in Naples

The Archaeological Museum: Pompeii's treasures with room to stand back.
Vomero: The hill quarter above the funiculars: villas, views and cooler air.
