The 48 best sights in Naples

I'm an art and history enthusiast, but you must know that Naples has a lot of graffiti. However, do not let this ruin the experience. The best time to visit this location is early in the morning before the crowds set in.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Piazza del Plebiscito – Heart of Naples Recent highlight: The 2025 Neapolis Marathon started and finished here, filling the square with over 5,000 runners and a festival atmosphere. This vast, elegant piazza is Naples’ cultural stage — hosting concerts, festivals, city anniversaries, parades, and sports events year-round. Surrounded by stunning landmarks, it perfectly blends history with modern city life. Tip: Arrive early for big events and come back at night when the lighting makes the square even more magical. A must-see for anyone visiting Naples — it’s where the city truly comes alive.

Huge square with beautiful architecture and statues of important historical figures. Look Located near the galleria mall lots of respond shops nearby.

A grand and historic square in Naples, but unfortunately it was closed due to an event during my visit. I couldn’t fully enjoy the view, though it’s clearly an impressive place when open.

Piazza del Plebiscito, the grand stage where absolutely nothing was happening, and yet it was perfect. We didn’t get to go inside (mainly because we had no idea how and saw no one else trying either), so we just did what any self-respecting tourist does, stood in front of it, took a few photos, and pretended we’d seen it all. It’s massive, impressive, and suspiciously quiet, like Naples’ version of a royal palace that’s “on lunch break”. Still, a great spot to admire the architecture, chase pigeons, and look cultured in your holiday pictures. Five stars for style, mystery, and free entry.

This is a wonderful picturesque space in the city of Naples. We were lucky enough to experience it as Napoli won Serie A and the explosion of noise of more than 100,000 supporters. Remember to look at the Palace enjoy the architecture, as you stand and look at the building turn right and walk just past it for fabulous views of the marina and cruise ships with Vesuvius as a backdrop! Glorious day or night.

Was very beautiful at night unfortunately did not capture a pic, but the next day when we went there was some Pharma related event going on. But still was really amazed by the view

A small but charming monastery in the heart of Naples. The famous courtyard, which is usually the highlight, was unfortunately under construction during my visit, which took away some of the atmosphere. Still, it’s a peaceful and beautiful spot, offering a welcome break from the busy streets outside. The adjoining church is very impressive and definitely worth a visit.

This was on my to-do list in Napoli and I'm glad we visited. For 7 euros tickets, it's totally worth it. You start in a movie room that tells you the history of the monastery and then you walk between drawings carved on the walls from a side and ceramic tiles on the others. The garden is amazing and has lemon and olive trees. There's a small museum and a small archeological site.

A beautiful courtyard to sit and relax in. I didn’t find the ruins interesting as there isn’t anything left to see. The museum inside is small but has some interesting things to check out.

Beautiful tiles with various scenes and figures. When we visited parts were being restored but they left a section open to the public.

This place was so beautiful and not many tourists come here. The walls are beautiful, although when we went on September 6th there were some constructions happening.

Peaceful and stunning — a must-visit in Naples Complesso Monumentale di Santa Chiara is a true oasis in the heart of Naples. The beautiful cloister with its hand-painted majolica tiles is absolutely breathtaking — peaceful, colorful, and full of charm. The museum and archaeological remains add depth to the visit, giving a real sense of the site's long and layered history. Everything is well maintained and thoughtfully presented. If you're looking for a moment of calm away from the city's chaos, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommended!

Beautifully nestled into the old city with a stunning garden and beautiful tile paintings. It's cool inside even on a hot day.

It's really good. It cost €6 to get in. Once in they ask you if you want a guided tour. Another €10 each but you get to see more of the castle and a better understanding of the history of the place. For €16 each, it's one of the cheapest tours I have found in Italy! We loved the castle and the tour.

The castle looks great from outside and I advise that you take your selfies outside and then proceed to the other nearby sites in Naples. I had entered using my Artecard and was not offered any tours (for an additional charge) that other reviewers had mentioned. Without this, you only enjoy the courtyard, the Sala of the Barons, the terrace at the back (with a good view, admittedly) and the so-so collection of art. All these wouldn’t take an hour.

Iconic medieval fortress you see by the sea in central Naples, with its mighty round towers and triumphal arch between them. This castle isn’t just stone and battlements — it’s the stage for 700 years of Neapolitan history. Now it is a living museum, where art, politics, religion, and legend all share the same stone heart.

As many have said, structurally this is quite an impressive castle overlooking the port. The entrance fee had doubled to €10, with an extra €10 for the guided tour around the dungeon. There was some interesting art (some to my taste, but some not), and unfortunately, the top stairwell was closed off. It kept us entertained for an hour or two while it rained, anyway.

Honestly the most disappointing castle I’ve seen yet. The outside is amazing! That’s where the good part ends really. Inside is all modern and boring with little to see at all. The art at first is crap, parrots with tools? A tower of random tools? What is this nonsense and where is the art? Then you see the religious art which isn’t bad but nothing you’ve not seen before. You see a few ruins of the castle underneath your feet in parts but otherwise you wouldn’t have an idea this was a castle and it offers very little to actually see to justify a price of any kind. Thankfully today was free as this definitely isn’t worth paying for.

If you’re into massive medieval castles that look like they were designed by someone who said, “Let’s build something so cool it’ll make future tourists question their entire life choices,” then Castel Nuovo is your place. The tour? Amazing. Our guide knew everything — from royal gossip to how many times this place was rebuilt because apparently kings back then had zero chill and infinite budgets. The history was fascinating, the views were gorgeous, and the stone walls probably have more stories than my last ten relationships combined. Pro tip: don’t skip the guided tour — wandering around solo just makes you feel like an uninvited extra in Game of Thrones. Also, bring good shoes unless you enjoy pretending to be an out-of-shape knight storming a fortress. All in all, 10/10 would get lost in a 13th-century castle again.

Beautiful castle and museum with a lot to see and learn. There’s a section with a glass floor, beneath which are ruins and skeletons. I especially liked the part with paintings and art. My husband enjoys the gastronomic side of traveling, so he sipped some wine while following me around 😂

An alley full of souvenirs from Naples. Definitely worth a visit despite some of the kitschy products. A visit to Naples is not complete without a visit to this alley.

An alley of traditional art and souvenirs, very cool to see the movement of some. Recommend to visit...

Lively street famous for its handmade nativity scenes and artisan shops. Full of charm and tradition, it’s a must-visit to experience Naples’ unique craftsmanship and festive spirit year-round.

Beautiful little street with everlasting Christmas decorations (many handmade) all year long. Christmas lasts forever here. Perfect for some memorable takeaways or simply making memories if you love Christmas.

Beautiful scenes from nativity and some modern ones too. You can also buy one for home if you like Hats off to the artists. Enjoyable for kids.

It’s a narrow medieval lane that connects two of the old city’s main roads: Via dei Tribunali and Via San Biagio dei Librai. On both sides you’ll see old buildings with arches, balconies, and traditional Neapolitan façades. The atmosphere is always lively, with the street full of both locals and tourists.

The shops in this street are famous for selling Christmas stuff all year round, but I was not impressed. It was not something special.

Surprising hidden gem—plain on the outside, but absolutely stunning inside. The lavish Baroque décor, painted ceilings, and ornate chapels filled with marble and frescoes are breathtaking. It’s quiet and peaceful even in a busy area—perfect for soaking in history and artistry.

What a big surprise! There's a hidden gem behind that palace facade. You enter through the Baroque looking entryway at the Piazza of the same name. We were totally amazed at what we saw inside this church. I would have never known based on its exterior. It's immensely grand and ornate as you walk inside. The ceiling and chapels are covered in Italian Baroque art from famous artists such as Francesco Solimena and Luca Giordano. There are alters made of precious stones and marble statues. All of which are saintly and historical. I didn't realize it at the time, but people do go there to be healed. There is a chapel dedicated to a Naples doctor & saint named Giuseppe Moscati. His tomb lies under the chapel altar. He is known for taking care of the sick and the poor. There was a line of people waiting to enter a part of the church that houses his personal quarters and belongings. We didn't get to see it, so I can't comment on it. It's just something to consider seeing while you're there. This whole area is full of historical churches. I mean, you could visit churches all day long if that's your thing. This is a great option if you only have time to visit one, and it's free to the public. They accept donations as most churches do.

After visiting several cathedrals and basilicas around the world, this one felt special and particularly holy. It doesn't look very exciting from outside. Tremendous inside, beautiful colours, construction and art. There is a big section dedicated to the Saint Giuseppe Moscati and a room with much information about his life. There is also a reconstruction of his office and bedroom, with what appeared to be original items, and his tomb. Highly recommended stop for quiet reflection if you're in Napoli.

One of the most beautiful churches I've ever seen. The scale is unbelievable. Definitely worth visiting.

The wonders of Naples never end. The history is mind blowing

What a beautiful church built in the 1440s, featuring baroque architecture and stunning ceilings. I was lucky enough to attend a Eucharistic Mass on my visit, something very special indeed.

A strange and curious facade that doesn't prepare you for what's inside: a baroque churche of astonishing beauty. Its literally hard to imagine a most beautiful church than this, every corner of it is a nice of art. A must see in Naples.

Galería Umberto I in Naples is a beautiful and historic shopping gallery 🏛️, with impressive architecture and a charming atmosphere. It’s a lovely place to take a stroll, enjoy a coffee (there is a nice Starbucks coffee shop there), and admire the details of the building. However, compared to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, it feels a bit less grand and less polished. When I visited, parts of the gallery were under renovation, which took away slightly from the overall experience. Still, it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in Naples — just not quite a five-star wow.

If you want to enjoy the architecture of this place it's the best to come in the evening when the shops are already closed. Then you can clearly see the beautiful patterns on the ground and take nice pictures while standing in the middle. Since I was kinda interested why would you make such a thing here is a short version if you would be also interested. It was constructed between 1887 and 1890. It stands directly across from the San Carlo opera house and was a cornerstone of the city's urban renewal, known as the "risanamento." Designed by Emanuele Rocco, its grand architecture features a cross-shaped layout with a spectacular glass and iron vaulted ceiling and a central dome.

A graceful blend of architecture and history, a monument to Naples’ rebirth. Built from 1887 to 1890 during Naples’ urban renewal, Galleria Umberto I replaced a decaying district with rising glass domes, marble mosaics, and Neo-Renaissance flair. Inspired by Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, it was designed to blend public life (cafés, shops, and performances) with private apartments above. The gallery was named after King Umberto I, whose reign overlapped with its construction, while Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II was named after his father. Today it’s a majestic elegant passage between Via Toledo and Teatro San Carlo, perfect for strolling, admiring the beautiful architecture details, and savoring a very good cannoli at Bar Brasiliano while daydreaming in the breathtaking surroundings.

Beautiful architecture and a must-visit spot in Naples! The glass dome and marble floor are absolutely stunning. It’s a peaceful place to walk, take photos, or enjoy a coffee under the sunlight streaming through the roof. Some shops are quiet now, but the charm and history of the place make it unforgettable.

Galleria Umberto I in Naples is an elegant and light-filled shopping arcade crowned by a domed glass and steel roof. It was built between 1887 and 1890 and named after King Umberto I of Italy. The gallery was intended to create a safe and luxurious public space in a previously rundown district. Although some shops have closed and it no longer shines as it once did, it remains a stunning architectural landmark.

Architecturally stunning (I shudder to say) shopping mall right beside the main port. It's just worth a wander through just to marvel at the building. If you want to embrace Neopolitan superstitions find your zodiac sign in the middle and jump into it's circle! Should bring you good luck!

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! The quality and service both exceeded my expectations. Everything was handled professionally and with great care. I’m beyond satisfied and would definitely recommend to everyone. Truly deserving of a perfect five stars!

This is a great site to visit while in Naples. You have to go with a tour but tickets are reasonable and with your ticket, you also get a free entry to another catacomb to use within the next year. I suggest buying ahead of time because slots are limited and you may end up having to come back later. They have tours in Italian and English. Our tour guide was amazing and answered any questions anyone had. The catacombs were super interesting and full of history. Unfortunately there is no photography inside the catacombs (although clearly people don’t follow the rules as you can see in the other reviews) so I don’t have many pictures to share but it’s worth seeing in person!

The the church itself is beautiful and worth the visit. If you have time, don’t miss out the tour of the underground treasures, though I did not see it myself

Its a cool place too see but no bones. They emptied everything out and all you see are the left over holes. They say no photo or video but whatever. Overall if you want to see real catacombs go to paris.

I had a fantastic experience with a tour guide who provided interesting information throughout the journey.

Was really looking forward to this tour and it didn’t disappoint! Having visited the catacombs in Paris I thought I knew what to expect but was a completely different experience as these are much older, the tour guide was knowledgeable friendly and encouraged people to ask questions, I also appreciated that no photos were allowed as it means people put the phones away and actually enjoy the experience and live in the moment. If you go to Naples and are interested in history this is a must see. The ticket cost goes to the upkeep and preservation in this wonderful window into the past.

Great, historic place to visit. We went to Catacombos of San Gennaro and San Gaudioso with one ticket. I had a fantastic experience with a tour guide(thanks to Nelo and Ricardo) who provided interesting informations and stories through whole experience. Highly recommend!

Incredible burial site rich in culture and history. Our English tour guide Nello was amazing, very knowledgeable, great at explaining things very clearly, funny and charming. Great experience! Most definitely a place to visit when in Naples !

Would recommend. It gets a little tricky to dong your way about. Have to purchase tickets for the inside walk about The outside is free. There was some construction going on so wasn't able to walk through the garden. The view was amazing when you are walking through the palace.

It's incredible to see where royalty once lived, though, due to successive changes, adoptions and reconstructions, a lot of the lived-in feeling has been lost. The interiors are sumptuous and you really have an idea of the wealth of its inhabitants. No beds, bathrooms or much of the original furniture is left, so one must imagine what the rooms may have originally looked like before they became state apartments. It is well worth a visit, but if you're wondering whether to do the Palazzo Real or the Reggia Caserta... I would highly recommend the latter. You can wander through the rooms at a leisurely pace, and adore much of the paintwork, gilt stucco, and damask clad walls. All of it is impressive upon the senses and altogether worth the visit. Duration: 30 to 45 minutes (maybe longer with and an audioguide) Satisfaction: 85%

The Royal Palace is very nice, and it seems bigger inside than from outside. The rooms are impressive. Some rooms were under construction, so we could not enter. I would recommend seeing it.

The Palazzo Reale has been the seat of power in Naples since the 1600s. It has been occupied by Spanish and Austrian viceroys, the Bourbons, the Bonapartes, the Bourbons again and then the Savoys before being turned over to the Italian state. What's seen here are the sumptuous royal apartments and state rooms. The rest of the palace is now being used for the National Library and as event spaces. While I was there, a book fair was being held in the courtyard and panels were being held in some of the old state rooms like the 'Hall of Hercules’. Absolutely gorgeous place to visit and worth the money!

The first rooms you come across are absolutely beautiful. As you go along, it seems beautiful but sort of the same looking room after room. The signage isn’t great, some signs seemed to point you towards nothing. The art is great throughout but a bit too far to really appreciate I’d say.

Very big museum with baroque work evrywere. Superbe staircase at the entrance. A lot of art is exposed in the rooms. Feels like the place is still alive.

Wasnt specifically visiting Naples. Happened to stay over on the way to and from Pompeii and other parts of Italy i travelked to. The Palace is one of the landmarks of Naples, so decided to visit and didn't regret. Really enjoyed my visit (despite falling on one of the marble stairs 😀 - they do warn you about it, so take care when visit). You can get tickets on site. There was no queueing and no wait.

Castel Sant'Elmo is a medieval fortress built on top of Vomero Hill overlooking Naples. The site has been continuously occupied from the 13th century and the structure has served as a garrison, fortress and prison. In fact, it was still in use as a prison until 1952. The views from the ramparts of the city, the bay and of Mt. Vesuvius are to die for. I advise wearing a jacket during your visit. It’s very windy and feels cold even with the sun out. To get there, you can take funicular up or ride the subway to the Vanvitelli station and then walk. For admission, I got the Artecard Lite which allows one visit within a year to a list of Neapolitan cultural attractions. Look it up and save.

Castel Sant’Elmo is a must-visit for anyone seeking panoramic views and a touch of history. Perched high above the city, this 14th-century fortress offers great views over the Bay of Naples, Mount Vesuvius, and the city below. The view alone is worth the 2.5€ entrance fee—it’s one of the best spots to take in the Neapolitan skyline, especially at sunset when the light casts golden hues over the bay. The castle itself is a fascinating structure, with its star-shaped design and thick stone walls. While the interior is relatively sparse, the open-air walkways and ramparts make it a perfect place for a scenic stroll. It also hosts occasional art exhibitions and cultural events.

The best spot for the panoramic view of Naples city and the harbour area, it's a long climb and there is no shade at the top so it might be hard on the sun day. There is a museum on top, but it's a modern art one and wasn't really interesting for us. Apart from that, there is not much to see when it comes to the history of the fort apart from 2 cannons at the bottom.

This place is worth the hike from the cruise port. An amazing castle which is almost 700 years old. Must see if you’re into historical places. It also offers breathtaking views of Naples.

What a stunning view of Naples! The Castel Sant’Elmo must be on your list to visit! Entrance is free and at the top there is a café with a fantastic view of the volcano!

Beautiful place to get panoramic views of the city of Naples. I highly recommend coming at sunset. The Castel itself isn’t much to see inside. The admission ticket is pretty cheap, and there are bathrooms at the top. Be ready to climb some steep hills and stairs.

Well maintained, pretty views. It was a nice walk up a slight incline to the main drawbridge entry door. Once inside, you can walk around the main floor where the museum & chapel entrances are, or go up to the higher level which goes completely around. The views are beautiful & far. Entrance fee is very reasonable.

This street feels almost unreal—like a scene set for tourists, yet it’s real life. You can’t help but wonder if people genuinely live here or if it’s all a performance. The area is packed with cheesy souvenir shops, street stalls, food vendors, and in between it all—stunning historical churches and places of worship. It’s chaotic, vibrant, and full of contrasts. Definitely a must-see when in Naples.

Busy street lots of buildings to see

One of the must walk and see Main Street of Napoli…shops cafes bakeries restaurants etc

Via dei Tribunali is one of Naples’ busiest streets, filled with restaurants, pizzerias, cafés, and shops – exactly what you’d expect: narrow, crowded, and lively. But the reality is hard to ignore: it’s filthy, with trash, waste, flies, and a constant stench everywhere. It’s worth experiencing once, if only to realize that many cities in the so-called “Third World” are in fact far more environmental friendly, and way cleaner than what some parts of Europe have to offer. Three stars, because it is what it is – raw, chaotic, and authentic, but definitely not pleasant.

If you’re unsure what pizza place to go to, just go up and down on the street and you will be overwhelmed with the choices. I’m sure you will find your best Napolitan pizza.

Great street to walk in the morning and experience Napoli life.

Via dei Tribunali, the heart of Naples. One of them.

This is a very interesting and quite emotional place to visit. Although smaller then Pompeii the dramatic scenes witnessed were more than worth the visit. The location is about a 20 minute walk from Portico station or less than 10 minutes from Ercolano station. All the staff were well informed and extremely helpful. Although there is a lot of restoration work ongoing, we found plenty to take our attention for nearly 3 hours, even in the heavy rain. We recommend booking your tickets in advance and just getting your train tickets from the stations.

Amazing site! Smaller than Pompeii but much better preserved — you can still see wooden doors, mosaics, and even ancient food storage areas. It feels more intimate and easier to explore without big crowds. Highly recommend visiting with a guide — they tell incredible stories that bring the ancient city to life. A must-see for history lovers!

aller and quieter than Pompeii, but incredibly well preserved — wooden doors, mosaics, and even food remains still visible. Walking through the ancient streets feels like stepping straight into Roman daily life. The site is compact, easy to explore in a few hours, and beautifully maintained. Bring water and good shoes, as there’s little shade. A haunting, unforgettable glimpse into history frozen in time.

A must see! Herculaneum is a really well preserved little town, lost to us on the same day as Pompeii. In many ways it is similar to Pompeii, but there are a few exceptions. The town, as a whole, is better preserved, so it feels more like you are walking g through a living place. There are more items in situ, which makes the visit less up and down. It is less busy with tourists, which is obviously better for a number of reasons. It is much smaller and so you can see everything, at a leisurely pace, in about 2 hours. A wonderful experience, if you like history it is highly recommended.

The preservation of this site is incredible. The culture and civilisation is so visible, one can easily sense how the way of life was here. Not so much different from ours today, bars, tightly knit communities, fast food takeaway and luxury properties for the high ranking and rich!

Absolutly well worth a visit. I've been to Pompeii several times but I'm getting older and suffering arthritis. Herculaneum is much smaller but so much easier to get around. It's well preserved but the best bit is the boat shed area. Save that until the end. Official parking right beside the entrance and at the time of my visit just 2 euro per hour.

Amazing place to visit, less busy than nearby Pompeii and very well preserved. Would recommend a guided tour to bring it to life. Very easily accessed by the train, 10 minute walk from station to the site.

This was a fantastic tour and visit! The oldest continually operating Opera House in the world! So many interesting facts and details in the tour!! I highly recommend, especially for the price and only 30 minutes to see everything!

If you have the chance take the tour, it’s well explained and you get the opportunity to be in the oldest Theatre in the world, and if you have the chance to see opera or a concert, totally worth it!! I have the chance to find a ticket for Tosca by Puccini and it was absolutely fantastic

This is a review of the disappointing tour, not of the theatre itself. As someone who enjoys opera, I was excited to tour the Teatro di San Carlo. Opening in 1737, it is the oldest continuously-operating opera venue in the world, older than La Scala and La Fenice. I was unhappy with the tour, though. It was only 30 minutes long, given in both Italian and English (cutting the English portion even shorter), included a large group of people and consisted of only 2 spaces. It felt like a cash grab. I see from other pictures that groups were smaller and they were able to go up to the boxes. What gives?

We saw an orchestra show while in Naples for 24 hrs, it was a great experience! Gorgeous theater, great music, and staff were helpful with directing. We were unable to purchase tickets online but bought tickets same day at the ticket office without issues. Appreciate the affordable ticket prices, highly recommend!

Stepping into the Teatro di San Carlo feels like entering a fairytale. This historic opera house, one of the oldest and most prestigious in the world, is a masterpiece of elegance and grandeur. The rich red velvet, the golden balconies, and the dazzling chandelier create an atmosphere that takes your breath away. The acoustics are superb, and the performances match the beauty of the space. It’s more than a theatre — it’s a place where history, art, and magic come together. A must-visit for lovers of culture and beauty.

The oldest continually operating opera house in the world – and absolutely worth a guided tour! The theatre is breathtaking, with its frescoed ceiling and countless elegant details. I loved learning about the mirrors in each box, designed so the King could see every guest. Another fascinating detail: there is no box number 17. Instead, it’s labeled 16 BIS, since in Italian culture 17 is considered unlucky (in Roman numerals, XVII can be rearranged as VIXI, meaning “I have lived,” a symbol of death). Simply fantastic and a must-see in Naples!

Very beautiful historical theatre with wonderful acoustic. If you buy tickets to the side boxes make sure it is the first or maximum the second row of the box, otherwise you will see only a part of the scene. Anna Netrebko was perfect as Amelia in Un ballo in maschera by Verdi

Naples’ Duomo is officially the Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta and is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin. However, it is better known as the Cattedrale di San Gennaro, the city’s patron saint. The saint’s blood is contained in an ampoule and liquefies at 3 points within the year. This phenomenon has resulted in strong local and national devotion, reflected in the great beauty of the place. A separate section of the Duomo, too, houses rich offerings (frequently masterpieces) that have been donated to San Gennaro over the centuries by popes, kings and wealthy devotees. There is a fee (€14) to enter this section.

A stunning cathedral. My wife and I can across this place while casually wandering around the shops. It snuck up on us a little bit, we knew of it but not its exact location. And what a wonderful surprise it was. Perhaps the most beautiful building we've ever been in. Just look at the pics which give an idea. It's free, but I'd suggest donating.

The Duomo Di Santa Maria Assunta is the main Catholic church in Naples and is just a short walk up the road from a Duomo metro station. This is a very impressive building. Very ornately decorated. As one of the main tourist attractions in Naples, it can get quite busy, but the place still holds a significant level of reverence as you wander around and enjoy the many paintings and artefacts within. Entry to the Duomo is free,however, if you wish to visit the Treasury of San Genarro where you can view some of the famous artefacts including the vial of blood purporting to include the blood of San Genarro there is a small fee. Overall a visit will take you. Probably your visit will need no longer than half an hour and the place has clean and disabled friendly toilets.

The Duomo, built in the 13th century and dedicated to San Gennaro, is a stunning fusion of Gothic, Baroque, and Neo-Gothic styles. Its chapel holds the relics of the city’s patron saint, and the annual miracle of his liquefying blood draws crowds and devotion. Worth stepping inside, even just for a moment of stillness —a spiritual and architectural anchor in the city’s vibrant chaos. Free entry.

Beautiful and historic cathedral in the heart of Naples. The interior is stunning with tall arches, frescoes, and golden details. It’s also famous for the miracle of San Gennaro

The Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta, also known as the Naples Cathedral, was constructed between the 13th and 14th centuries and built over earlier Christian and Roman structures. The church blends architectural styles due to centuries of renovations following earthquakes and expansions. It houses the Chapel of San Gennaro, dedicated to the city’s patron saint, whose relics and the celebrated miracle of the liquefaction of his blood draw thousands of pilgrims each year

Definitely impressive inside. Worth the walk and located near the Underground featured restored ruins as well so that both can be appreciated within a few hours.

Quite an interesting church that has two entrance, one from a nearby plaza through an additional room and stairs next to the altar and another from the street. Monumental inside with lots of richly decorated altars, definitely worth a quick look once you are nearby.

This is an absolute must visit if you're visiting Naples but don't buy tickets from the website. There was no one to greet us as a guide at the time we bought tickets for (we waited half an hour for the ticket office to open at 3pm) and the ticket we bought on the website gave you access to the 3 extra rooms but the one we were actually sent only included two which caused us embarrassment with the lady working in the ticket office who ended up being our guide. She was really nice about it but just something to consider. Buy your ticket when you arrive.

incredible church ! you can also visit the sacristy, thomas d’aquin’s apartment and the catacombs. there was no one around when i visited it in early july. a must !

Take a deep breath before entering this church. You are certainly going to need. Huge, amazing, full of things to see and take pictures. I strongly recommend that you take the ticket to check de monastery and clothing sectors. Reserve at least one full hour of your time schedule to check around.

A large, historic and interesting church in central Naples. Technically free to visit, you are likely to be approached for a donation.

Beautiful basilica with two facades: one facing the piazza and the main facade reached via a courtyard at the opposite side of the church. Impressive works of art inside, including a chapel filled with spectacular frescoes by Pietro Cavallini (early 14th cent.).

I went early in the morning around 10AM, and I was surprised how beautiful and peaceful it was, especially with the sun passing through the colourful glass.

The food was generous, rich in flavor and the patisserie crunchy and sweet, the waiters don’t really seem to enjoy their gig, but that’s pretty avg in Napoli (or Italy). In spite of that, the service is fast as almost everything just needs to be warmed up. Coffee is great and fresh OJ is a little ray of sunshine trough the overall experience.

They have on of the best pastries in Italy. But the service could be better and the place could be taken care better. We went there twice, one time for breakfast and other for an afternoon coffee. On both occasions the service was pretty average. The coffee nothing special, but the pastries. Perfection! The best of all was the sfogliatella, nice layers of perfect crust with a filling that wasn't too sweet. I recommend for a good pastry treat in Naples.

Centrally located, prime spot for people watching and beautiful building. This is by far one of the best espresso we had during our trip in Italy. So good that we went back 3 times in total during our visit in Naples. The pastries were great too.. as for the service as expected during high season. Fatigue, not very friendly.. probably sick of tourists like us and under staff given they didn't open a section of the restaurant and would rather have customers wait in the queue. Worth a visit.. just don't expect much from the service. Pastries and espresso.. definitely Yes! Absolutely love their menu, photos and descriptions. Perfect!!

Great spot for breakfast, we came here a couple of times. Fantastic people watching and great location to sit and enjoy your morning food. Coffee is good, pastries are fresh and delicious and the staff are brilliant. It is a touch on the pricey side for Naples but it is worth it. The selection of drinks is probably the most substantial of all the spots we went to in Naples. One thing I will say is I stopped off for a late afternoon Sfogliatella and unlike in the morning which was brilliant this time it had very obviously been sat for many hours and the filling had gone a bit past its best so I would recommend if you want the pastries go at breakfast when they have just been made as they are brilliant. I had the best pain au chocolat of my life here

We stopped by this café and it was such a delightful experience! The coffee was excellent, their pastries were fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere is charming and elegant. The staff were very kind and attentive, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended if you want to enjoy authentic Italian coffee and dessert in a beautiful setting.

Gran Caffè Gambrinus is a place that leaves a lasting impression with just a single cup of coffee. I stopped by briefly for one espresso — the “strapazzato” — and that short moment completely redefined what coffee means to me. Though I spent no more than five minutes there, the depth, aroma, and intensity of that cup made time feel suspended. It wasn’t just about caffeine; it was about heritage, craftsmanship, and emotion in a cup. It’s rare to find a place where such a simple experience feels so profound. I know that even if I return years later, that brief memory — and the anticipation of tasting it again — will stay with me for a very long time.

An interesting place and very unusual because of the way you place your order. First, you go to the counter, order from the cashier and then you go to the bar or the pastry section. It can be very confusing for tourists because there are no signs explaining what to do or how it works. My recommendation is to first take a look at all the cake names and then go to the counter. All in all, the coffee is excellent and the cakes are unbelievably beautiful and delicious. Definitely a place you must visit!

Amazing "must do" tour we had the lovely Sabrina as our English speaking guide. She was knowledgeable and very good. Very eye opening as ex RAF myself to see the war from the civillian receiving end. The cars and bikes were awesome and the miles of tunnels amazing testament to the local's ancestors ingenuity and hard work.

For anyone trying to decide Galleria Borbonica ou Napoli Sotteranea, don't even think twice. This one is the one to do. I've done both and this one was 1000x better. Not only the underground is much more interesting, but the guide was VERY knowledgeable, you could see she liked what she was doing and explained everything perfectly. Very interesting tour, very well worth the money. 5*

Fascinating place! Really cool to be able to see 2000 year old aqueducts and even WWII history right under such a vibrant city. Nice thing about this tour is there are no stairs to go back up if you enter down the stairs. Cool little gift shop at the end too. Was able to get tickets 30 minutes before.

Amazing that is good word for that experience! Easy to purchase tickets and find the place. Everything started on time. We had a wonderful guide- a women with an amazing english! This was a tour in english but you can buy in italian too. Many historical facts that made us understand this city much better! My husband favorites thing were cars and motorcycle place with oryginal stuff from the time after 2nd WW time.

This is a location where you can learn about the history of Naples’ underground tunnels and how they have served Napolitans over the decades. I’d recommend a visit here when in Naples.

Omg! The most fascinating tunnel… greatttt tour! There are different tours and all awesome! Lots of hidden history revealed to us

Really interesting place, vividly brought to life by our guide David , who was excellent throughout.

Toledo is a fun place. Even the metro station here has been done up nicely to make it pretty. The whole area is lively with so many people walking around, talking, shopping, eating, having a coffee, having granita, eating up a fried pizza, etc. This place is just full of character

It's not the most impressive station, but compared to other boring metros, the design with the ceiling opening and lighting gives it an interesting touch. You can tell they tried to do something different, and that’s appreciated.

Supposedly one of the most beautiful underground stations in Italy! It was very pretty, a bit like a nightclub.

Photogenic spot with striking tilework and dramatic arches—perfect for snapping pics, but in person it’s a pretty ordinary metro stop without much else to see.

One of the coolest underground stations I have ever visited. Carefully designed with mosaic tiles in parts. This train station leads you on to one of the busiest streets in Naples. It is worth taking a ride to see this beautiful station in Napoli. You can get to the Spanish quarter after alighting here.

3 out of 4 ticket machines were not working. We waited 15 minutes in a line with zero assistance from anyone to help with the crowd gathering. Finally got to the front to have 2 credit cards decline because it was “offline”. Went down the stairs to find two ladies in an office both on their phones, could barely be bothered to assist only to tell us that you can swipe cards at the turnstile. Yet can’t be bothered to do a second of work and actually do their job to help anyone stuck upstairs with non-functioning machines.

A stunning example of modern public art and architecture. Worth seeing even if you aren't taking the metro.

I really enjoyed this place! It really helps to understand the the Napoli as the guide provides lots of historical facts but in a very interesting way. Alex was a great guide! The temperature is around 18 C so I good to take some proper clothes. Very characteristic to this underground journey are veeeery narrow paths that used to be a aqueduct. Recommend to everybody who are visiting Napoli. In case of the tickets, easy to book online and pay before the entrance. Easy to find the place.

The tour was awesome. Takes about an hour. The guide was super knowledgeable and also funny as well. The story the guide told was very captivating and left you looking forward to hearing more as the tour progressed. I would 100% attend this tour again. Mainly to help support the work they do of cleaning out Naples underground, and partly to hear about new discoveries made by the volunteers who explain the rich history of the Underground and help clean it up.

A nice experience i must admit. Our tour guide Ivan was amazing, had great English with great accent which i highly appreciate! Super important notes to add... Claustrophobic people should be warned prior to purchasing the ticket.... Also people with extra weight as there are extremely narrow passages. I find it really bad there might be people paying 15€ for the tour and being unable to go for it and finding out that they have to sit and wait for the rest of the group till they finish... Added a short video for reference showing how narrow and tight the passages are... Loved the extra bonus mini tour to the old theatre. Total of 1 hour.

Amazing tour ! Honestly, at the beginning I didn't expect much, but from the very first moment when we started going down the stairs, I realised that it would be a great experience! More we were advancing, more it was exiting! The guide Edouardo brought us through the history of Naples and its underground with a lot of humour and fun! This young guy was absolutely brilliant! I think, I've never laught so much during a guided tour! And at the same time I learnt so many interesting facts... Almost 1 and a half hour passed like 5 minutes - I really loved it! The place is a bit scary, mysterious and an absolut must-see if you visit Naples!

My sister and I absolutely loved this tour. We had a rather unusual experience in that there was a medical emergency and we missed part of ours n order to assist. So they let us go on the following tour and made certain to pay special attention to the items that we had indicated we were most interested in seeing. I felt extremely lucky to have had such a fantastic guide and would recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you again Grazai!!!!!

The most amazing tour you can get in Napoli! Our guide Edo was an amazing storyteller, very friendly and shared all the stories, legends and beliefs! Plus the tour includes passing through some narrow passageways (optional) which is very fun! 12/10 recommend!!!

The weather didn't look good on Naples so we pre booked this tour, it was really interesting and the guide was fun and informative. It was definitely the best thing we did in Naples! Well worth visiting especially on a hot day as the tunnels were much cooler than the streets!

Interesting museum with affordable price. The gardens in monastery are beautiful and worth checking. In front of the museum you can enjoy nice views on Naples.

The Certosa di San Martino was a chapterhouse of the Carthusian order built just below Castel Sant'Elmo for protection. Due to this location, it shares the same beautiful views of the city as the fortress above. If you don’t feel like going up, the selfie opportunities here almost as good. 😊 The order was suppressed in the 18th century and the monastery and its gardens now serve as a museum. The most unusual items here are a collection of papier-mache nativity scenes. The largest of them filled a room! The single most beautiful place in the monastery is the church. Simply breathtaking.

One of the best Museum in the city of Naples. For the quality and the quantity of the pieces of art this museum contains should be already being in the top list of every trip in Naples. In addition you get also an amazing view of the city and an outside area in the back really nice and peaceful. It’s a pity there is no a cafe there! The church and its surrounding chambers is simply astonishing, with no single spot left for an additional decoration. The collection is impressive i think they should better present them with few but key notes (at least the most important piece of art). In addiction all of this the ticket is really cheap! 6€ for a full one and 2€ with under 25. Fortunately (or unfortunately) the place is not busy at all so you can really enjoy it!

Lovely 2 hrs walking around. The view is gorgeous. The trees in the Garden were still blooming in February. Was a rainy cold day but it didn't deter us & was enjoyed it.

Don’t miss this hidden gem of place, you will see beautiful views of Napoli city and a lot of art 💕

A real must visit. So much to see. The best views of Naples bar none. Excellent.

great art and exhibits and history. incredible views of the city

Went in to see the Caravaggio painting which just makes the quality and detail of other artwork pale in comparison. I had injured my leg on the way so the guards brought me water (I was crying..) and brought me a chair so I can view the painting inside comfortably 🫶🏻 you need to book in Advance and you only get 15 minutes of viewing time. This is just one room, I think it’s enough time to admire the painting.

if you like art and architecture and history, this place is so suggestive and has a painting of Caravaggio that's worth to admire. The church is also a sight because of the beauty of the architecture, the paintings of Francesco De Mura and Battistello Caracciolo and all the decorations of the ceiling, the altars, the walls themselves and the floor

A must do museum in the historical centre of Napoli. Admire on of the most famous paintings of Caravaggio and walk though the story of the seven governors, the founders of the institute for the pure people of the town.

It’s 5 for the Caravaggio it’s an outstanding painting but €10pp to see 1 painting I found a excessive. The rest of the exhibition is nothing to write about, you see a lot more works of art in churches such as Chiesa e Chiostro di San Gregorio Armeno ((please give donation) So i was disappointed at only viewing one Caravaggio even if it is a remarkable piece. I wouldn’t pay that again.

Outstanding and, at the moment, the only place you see a Caravaggio in any major Italian city as the others are currently touring. Walk through the gallery that is attached (beautiful) as this also allows you to view the Caravaggio from above.

One of the Worst Museum Experiences Ever!! Absolutely terrible experience. The staff were shockingly rude, inattentive, and made it clear that visitors are more of an annoyance than anything else. There was no sense of hospitality or respect — just arrogance and neglect. It’s unacceptable for a cultural institution to treat people this way. The art deserves better, and so do the visitors. Until the management takes serious action to fix the staff’s behavior and basic standards of professionalism, I strongly recommend avoiding this place.

A hidden gem in the heart of Naples for art lovers. The highlight is Caravaggio’s The Seven Works of Mercy—an incredible painting displayed exactly where it was meant to be seen. The chapel is peaceful and full of history, and the upstairs gallery has more beautiful works by Neapolitan artists. A must-visit for art lovers and anyone interested in the city’s rich cultural and charitable heritage.

The museum is located in the upper part of Napoli in a clean and beautiful park. The place itself has the greatest lit paintings- others should learn from them. The light turn on only when the visitors enter each room- ecological 👌 it was surprisingly almost empty at the day of my visit which made the visit intimate.

The museum currently has some renovations going on in the courtyard but the exhibits aren't affected. Interesting collection of pieces from Neapolitan churches from 14th century onwards, it was fascinating to see the progression of artistic style in such grand pieces. The collection on the first floor incorporates more varied subjects and styles.

The collection contains some masterpieces and several beautiful works. Certainly worth visiting also for the gardens and the view.

Very interesting art exhibition with some incredible Carravaggio's. It's definitely worth seeing. If the weather is good, you could make a day of it with a picnic in the garden , which is elegantly laid out.

Absolutely stunning experience! Museo Real Bosco di Capodimonte in Naples offers a breathtaking collection of masterpieces with impeccable curation. The atmosphere is inspiring, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. A must-visit for art lovers!

Beautiful interior and an amazing art collection. Absolutely stunning! Even if it wasn't for Caravaggio and Titian, it would still have been worth visiting, without a doubt. Not to be missed while in Naples! It's amazing what pure gems this city has to offer despite all the chaos and filth on the streets.

Lovely museum. Caravaggio alone is worth seeing. There is also tons of artists that were inspired & worked w/ him similar style on display. Lovely bar there as well were we had espresso & lunch. It's a bit out of the city but worth the taxi ride 100%

Spaccanapoli is Naples in its purest form. A single street that cuts the old town in half, packed with churches, shops, laundry hanging overhead, scooters whizzing past, and locals shouting. The energy is chaotic but authentic. Great place to stop for sfogliatella and espresso.

Vibrant atmosphere, little narrow lively street in the historical center of Naples

They have some good hand made products. So is this a pedestrian zone, or we just drive however we like through the crowd? Is it that difficult to clean this street at least once? I mean I understand it is important for you, that the whole city swims in rubbish, but this is one of the heaviest visited places, sooo no exception?

One of the best breakfast cafe places I visited in Naples. My experience: - They had a lot of traffic but it’s quickly moving so you will find a place to sit maybe in 5-10min. - The prices are decent, €3.5 for a cappuccino - I loved the coffee, it was from cafe Moreno which is literally available in every cafe in Naples. - I got the brioche bread with my coffee and the bread was fresh and very tasty. It was not very sweet either. - I also ordered cafe del Nonno thinking it’s some special coffee but it’s actually coffee favored cream/gelato kind of thing which was very….. tasty. - The servers were nice and understood enough English to be able to communicate.

Quick stop in Naples before heading out to Rome airport. We had decided that we wanted to explore the ”Centro Storico”. Didn’t have loads of time so we just wandered around. Really cool to see the neighborhood, it’s narrow alleys, Maradona everywhere. Worth a visit. We came in to area from the south side / harbor and that area felt a little bit dodgy. Not scary, just make sure you hold on to your wallet etc.

I honestly didn’t enjoy Spaccanapoli at all. The area felt dirty, messy, and very disorganized. It was extremely crowded, and the air was filled with unpleasant smells from the many restaurants around — there was no sense of fresh air. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience, and personally, I would not recommend coming to Naples just for this.

The buzzing area and street of Naples City Centre. All the restaurant, bakery, patiserrie, gelato and local grocery and drink shops on one long straight.

Very cool experience - 45 meters underground and full of history from ancient times to WW2. The tour also includes a short tour of a hidden playhouse that is neat. Definitely buy tickets online & in advance to skip the line. In regard to others' claustrophobia warnings - the part that is very bad (12 inches wide & 4 ish inches tall at some points) can be skipped so you can still enjoy the tour.

Somewhat interesting. The guide wasn’t loud enough at times, some words I didn’t understand and people were talking, also the group was like 50, way too big. The tunnels were fun to go into and the area in general is pretty interesting. The wine cellar at the end was cool but very small. Women at the ticket counter wasn’t sure you if you could get online tickets and when I returned with an online ticket, she scanned it… why she couldn’t just say you could is beyond me, language barrier or just not too interested in your job who knows. Get an online ticket to get in faster, cash only otherwise.

fascinating experience. The guided tour through Napoli Sotterranea gives a completely different view of the city’s history — from ancient aqueducts to World War II shelters. The guide was knowledgeable and made it easy to imagine life underground. The passages are narrow at some points, so good shoes are a must. Definitely worth visiting if you want to see something unique in Naples.

The group size is too big. 57 people in one group is too much. At the entrance it was chaos. We bought our ticket online. It said to bypass the queue, only to be send back at the end of the queue. At the smallest part we had to go back because another group entered at the other side. One woman started to panic and the guide didn't even notice. The upper part was done by another guide. He walked very fast and we lost him somewhere. Also his voice was soft. The group was quiet, but still at the back you couldn't hear what he was saying. It was nice what was shown, but the big group spoiled it somehow.

Ok so I have mixed feelings about this. First of all, when you arrive it's a huge chaos at the entrance. Why don't they put ropes with 2 lines to separate the tours by language and then some passage to let people with online tickets to pass in front of everyone (since it's a SKIP THE LINE ticket!!) Then... There are just too many people in each group. I think there were at least 60 in our group. This creates a huge problem with people pushing to take photos and another problem when the guide is talking and half of these people are talking so you can't hear anything! The tour itself is nice, there's a very very narrow passage where you can't be claustrophobic otherwise it will be a problem. For my surprise, this is a 2 part tour. The first one is the underground itself then they will take you by foot in the streets further to another place which doesn't add much apart from the "surprise" (no spoilers). Another problem: these tour guides are basically formatted robots. They learnt the lines and that's it. I'm sure they know nothing about the underground, in our case our guide was asked several questions to which he answered "I have no idea" to almost all of them. The funniest one was a girl asking how they pumped the water and he answer was "it's physics".....

Interesting tour experience with the main attraction being a few yards under the main street level. Used during major historical operation like WW2 and remnants of ancient civilization was unique. The display case showed figures in German SS patrol outfits to illustrate Italy under German occupation in the 40’s. The guide was ok but clear she didn’t have a lot of public speaking experience. She was hard to understand tho seemed to be doing her best with the crowd. The tight tunnels were interesting though again info was not clear of what things were used for so there was a lot of guessing to be done.

Impressive, but lot of people. Definitely réserve in advance. The visit is guides(mandatory) there are hours of visit. Definitively recommand taking billets in advance

It's always the same issue: you're in the center of a touristy city and you wanna have dinner. Where should you go? Should you rely on Maps knowing that most ratings were set by tourists? 🤔 Not in Barcelona 🇪🇸, for sure. But in Napoli 🇮🇹, things seemed different as I could see lots of locals in the main touristy streets... So we decided to follow Maps for our dinner that day and we reached a place with good ratings that was open according to Maps but that was... closed in real life. 😤 Plan B then: Spaccanapoli, a couple of streets away. The look of the place was kinda cold, not cozy at all. The waitress was nice even though she recommended that we order the most expensive item on the menu, the fried seafood 🦐 platter, without telling us about the price upfront... 😒 And the food was more than correct. Especially the seafood that was great. 👍 My son dared to order a pizza 🍕 with fries 🍟 on the top which, to me, sounds like a heresy (like pineapple 🍍 on a pizza 🍕) but isn't so strange, apparently, as he already had that on a previous trip to Italy 🇮🇹. 🤷 We paid €22 each, no dessert, no alcohol. It's kinda expensive for Italy 🇮🇹 but yeah, that was mainly due to the seafood platter... Quality & taste: 8/10 Quantities: 10/10 Atmosphere: 6/10 Originality: 7/10 Ratio price / quality: 8/10 Service: 6/10 How I felt afterwards: 7/10

The food was absolutely delicious, with the pizza being especially perfect—clearly cooked with skill and passion! The small restaurant is located in the city center, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. I loved the warm ambiance from the wooden-fired fireplace, which added to the charm of the place. Additionally, the prices were quite reasonable, making it a great spot to enjoy a satisfying meal. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!

Exceptional food! I recomand taking the table right in front of the restaurant despite the noise. It was exceptionally to watch the front house doing their job. The lady that was coordinating everything, well, hats off, you were amazing in managing so many tasks ( phone, tables, clients, etc ) with such calm, professionalism and yet a big smile in the end. Everything seems to run smoothly because of you! Grazie!

Excellent pizza. Perhaps one of the best I've ever had. Even the fries were excellent. Service was brilliant. Highly recommended.

Very good pizza and value for money specially taking into the location and the fact that you can eat in the terrace. The grilled steak wasn’t great but hey I guess that was our mistake because who would order anything that’s not pizza and pasta here.

It is a nice place, with good pizza. The salad and prosecco were below average. If you come here, take the pizza, skip drinks

Pretty average spot in one of the hot tourist spots of the city . It’s okay to eat but manage your expectations as I found the food to be more salty than the other restaurants I tried. Other than that , food is okay and service is pretty fast and they have a decent patio overlooking the thousands of people walking by .

A must-see in Naples. We almost missed it by taking another street, but luckily spotted the crowd from afar—which led us there. I would’ve been devastated to skip this spot, but honestly, with such a big crowd, it's hard to miss. Just a heads-up: it's best to keep an eye on your belongings, as the area is packed and could attract pickpockets.

This was a spiritual experience and the Spanish Quarter is a very special place to visit. Then, if you even have a semblance or shred of passion for football, no matter who you support, this is one of the most incredible things you will ever experience. I was overcome with emotion and understood very clearly just how much Diego Maradona meant to this city and its people.

A vibrant part of Naples. So much colour, noise and action. Nothing beats a walk through the streets and shops.

A beautiful experience. Seeing the Maradona mural in Naples is feeling the love and passion Neapolitans have for him. You can truly feel the devotion. If you’re into football (or Argentine), it’s a moving place to visit.

Although you will see Maradona’s image all over Naples, if you truly want to feel how much he meant and still means to the people of the city, you should definitely visit Maradona Square in the Spanish Quarter of Naples. This area has been transformed into a shrine dedicated to him. The mural itself is more than just street art, it’s a revered landmark where locals and visitors leave flowers, scarves, and memorabilia as tokens of respect. The vibrant Spanish Quarter only adds to the rich cultural atmosphere of this special place, making a visit here feel like a pilgrimage for fans from all around the world.

A lively, cultural experience centered on the deep local passion for football, embodied by the Maradona shrine.

The famous Maradona mural – a sight you have to see to believe. What makes this place truly special is its spontaneity and the passion of the people who created it. For 30 years, the mural was a hidden gem known mostly to devoted football fans. But since Maradona’s passing, it has transformed into a living shrine, embodying everything he meant to the city and its people. A must-see to truly feel the atmosphere, joy, and vibrant spirit of the Neapolitans.

This whole excursion was worth it just to visit the glorious chapel. Moreover we visited it mid afternoon as the sun was shining through the windows and casting a golden yellow light on some of the silver statues housed in the niches along the altar's adornments. It was quite special and so magical. The museum itself is also quite spectacular, and the audioguide very informative. It is not a long visit and could easily be done in less than an hour. Apparently it houses the religious world's largest collection of silver busts, mostly of saints and martyrs. And has some beautiful relics and jewels on display. Moreover, there is also a collection of contemporary arts displayed in the treasury that juxtapose the style of the baroque and religious. Unique and altogether enjoyable. I highly recommend a visit, especially if visiting the Duomo. As apart from that, I feel the space is intensely beautiful and truly a must see. Duration of visit: 30 to 60 mins Satisfaction: 100%

Stunning chapel full of history and incredible art. The silver and gold decorations, paintings, and the atmosphere are truly breathtaking. It’s amazing to see the treasure of San Gennaro and learn about the city’s patron saint. Worth visiting even if you’re not religious

Magnificent church, one of the best, at least in Napoli (compare to Brno, Copenhagen cities of my european trips this 2025 summer). The big paintings on church's roof id magnificent. There was a small orchestra with lady opera singers at rehearsal that day add a classic Chatolic art to my visit. Another name is Duomo, a worth tourist visit while you are in Napoli.

Incredible museum and artefacts on show. This was recommended to us to visit by a local and we were very grateful for the recommendation. Astonishing artefacts and stories connected to each item. Audio guide was very useful.

you will enter the church and you will definitely gasp 🫢 It catches your eyes and your heart by its magnificent glorious art

Beautiful church, suggestive atmosphere and wonderful works of sacred artwork. Very busy with tourists. Absolutely to visit while in Naples.

As good as the Tower of London jewels. Not as many but beautiful exhibits of ancient jewels and artifacts.

Under refurbishment. But promising.

Looks pretty from outside but it said it is open and I walked for a long time in the sun just to see it's closed for refurbishment :/ A bit disappointed

Amazingly beautiful. Highly recommend. Slow down a little bit, enjoy the moment

Very nice to stop during sightseeing

Nice park to relax

Currently closed for refurbishment/construction :(

Looked lovely from the outside but was closed with lots of ground works going on inside 🙁

The Veiled Christ sculpture is without a doubt the most impressive. The way the marble looks like a delicate, transparent veil over Jesus is unbelievable. I honestly couldn’t believe it was carved from a single block of marble. It’s one of the most beautiful and emotional pieces of art I’ve ever seen. The other piece that really stood out to me was the one with the marble net (Il Disinganno). The fine detail in the net is just mind blowing. Although the chapel isn’t very big, every part of it is full of intricate art and symbolism. I do wish we could take photos, but I also understand why it’s not allowed, it helps you focus more on the moment. Highly recommend booking in advance, as it can get very crowded. But it’s 100% worth visiting!!

The highlight of my trip is Guiseppe Sanmartino’s Veiled Christ in the Sansevero Chapel Museum in the heart of Napoli’s old city. I have been waiting for this moment since for 2 years when i first learnt about this incredible masterpiece. The thinness, fluidity and transparency of the veil, the expression on the face and body of Christ as he laid in the tomb is remarkable and hard to imagine that the material is marble. Very unforgettable an experience. The staff are helpful and excellent in managing crowd flow. The chapel is small and the experience of entering in is intense and mystical. Too bad no photography of any kind is allowed but there were books to purchase at the end. I wish there were more literature on Guiseppe Sanmartino’s life and history. This great craftsman remains a mystery to me for now.

Another artistic treasure in Naples, so much to see it was overwhelming! The intricate detail is astounding!! Definitely worth a look see!!

So there is no warning online when you buy the expensive tickets that you can not take photos inside. Which is fine, people would take a long time if everyone took photos, and it is a small chapel. However you can not take photos in the store of the postcards either. I find that ridiculous for the price of 12€ entry to this tiny thing. Also typical rude Napolitans employees, but that is expected i guess.

An absolute must-see in Naples. Although the San Severo Chapel is just one single room, it’s one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever visited. The sculptures and frescoes inside are stunning, with an incredible level of detail and realism. It’s really worth getting the audio guide, as it explains in depth the history and meaning behind each sculpture and fresco. Without it, you miss a lot of context and can’t fully appreciate what you’re seeing. For such a short visit, it’s definitely worth it. The visit takes around 20–30 minutes, and it never feels long or heavy. It’s short, fascinating, and full of beauty. If you’re in Naples, it’s an essential stop — a small gem you shouldn’t miss.

Extraordinary marble statue of Christ lying covered by a shroud.But taking photos is strictly enforced. A disappointment as a result. Audio guide is sold inside and extra cost. Very popular. We had to buy tickets for a specific hour online

This is a one room exhibit. The sculptures are exquisite but l was expecting more. "That's it" was heard more than a few times. Anatomical bodies below are not worth seeing. No pictures allowed. Autoguide. Line wasn't to bad.

The museum is a beautiful building and worthy of a visit itself. A must visit if you have been to Pompeii and Herculaneum. We queued about 20 minutes so during peak times I would recommend buying tickets online beforehand. Entrance fee is 20€ and worth the money. There is so much to see so allow at least three hours for your visit. All statues and artefacts are beautifully displayed as you meander around the museum from hall to hall. The inner courtyards are also inviting for a little rest. There is a cafe and bookshop onsite as well.

Perhaps the best museum I've ever been to. Having visited Pompeii and Herculaneum a few days before, this place was a must after that experience. There are so many artefacts, in particular paintings, which come from these places, that really enriches your understanding and increases your sense of awe. As someone who loves ancient statues, this was like heaven. So many wonderful ones there is no point in picking any out, there are so many here it is bewildering. If you have any interest in antiquity then this should be on your bucket list. We went on a Friday in late October. There were plenty of people but it was quieter than I expected. We spent over 4 hours here and we were not bored for a second. Highly recommended.

So beautiful! a must-see in Naples! This museum was one of the highlights of our trip. It’s full of stunning life-sized statues with the most amazing details, plus incredible art and artifacts from Pompeii. You really get a feel for what ancient life was like. You could easily spend hours here just wandering around and taking it all in, there’s so much to see!

This museum is big. So many artifacts in there. Tons of statues. We went to see the Pompeii ruins as it houses the largest collection of items unearthed. Even glass kitchen wares. Even to move quickly through it you'll need a few hours. Oh, and dont skip out on the Secret Cabinet section. I cant post pics as Google will shoot down this post. Google it, its pretty interesting.

What an amazing place. You will need more than one day to see everything. Easy to fet to if you use the metro. Magnificent statues and sculptures. The mummy section is definitely a must. I can't recommend this place enough.

If you’re visiting Pompeii or Herculaneum, this museum is an absolute must. It’s where all the best-preserved artifacts have been taken—statues, mosaics, frescoes, personal belongings, even entire floors and walls. You’ll see ancient Roman life brought vividly to life in a way the ruins alone just can’t match. The collection is massive and awe-inspiring. Every room feels like a discovery—one moment you’re staring at intricate jewelry, the next you’re face to face with a marble sculpture that looks like it was carved yesterday. The detail, the history, the scale—it’s almost overwhelming (in the best way). Plan way more time than you think you’ll need. Seriously—give yourself a full day if you’re even mildly into history, art, or archaeology. One of the most impressive museums I’ve ever visited.

One of the best museums I’ve been to. It was clean, excellent signage, and well staffed. The exhibits are world class and speak for themselves; a must visit if anywhere near Naples.

This museum, part of the cathedral, contains a wonderful treasure trove of sacred art and jewelry. You get an audio guide with your ticket, or you can opt for a professional guide.

Too expensive- confusing exhibition And you only get the audio guide by leaving your passport or ID if you do not want to download the guide on your phone. I found the modern art at the side of the main exhibition a little strange.

I booked the guidedxtourcin English. It was not much more than the regular non- guided price. I thought it was worth it. The jewels are incredible. You can re enter the duomo after the tour and get a closer look at the San Gennaro chapel. There are several other chapels to see.

This is one of the top three museums and/or churches to visit in Naples, the others being the archaeological museum and MUSA. The photos say it all, but the history is fascinating as well.

Extremely cool place to visit. We were impressed by the jewelry and the craftmanship.

A visit here is mandatory if you want to understand what makes Napoli what it is. San Gennaro is at the heart of the Napolitan spirit. An absolute must see. Make sure to take the audio guide to have all needed information. The visit is quite short, between 30 and 60min.

Incredible collection of artefacts linked to San Gennaro. I was particularly impressed to arrive directly into the Chapel dedicated to San Gennaro in the cathedral from a side corridor of the museum.

Still closed as for 28/02/2025 🥲 useless walk for the 2nd time in 3 years, update your opening times!!! And let me know when u open 🤣

Quirky cultural place where folklore and religion mixes in a unique way.

Very interesting cemetery. Free entrance and the man at the entrance loves to give a little speech about the place. (Also free, but you can give him a tip.)

Neighborhood was quaint, still closed as of October 4th 2025. We’ll have to try next time we are in Napoli

Marvellous place with great mystic skeleton graves. The light is playing enormous role in the cemetery visual and emotional perception. The history behind it is sad, however it is worth visiting when you are staying in Naples, you won't be disappointed.

Scary but the most amazing grave site I have ever seen. Totally free and well worth seeing. You havent seen anything like this before

A great historical place for visiting while in Naples. Full of history and you can feel the religious aspect of it. Free of charge but you have to find it first and not get lost in all those similar streets here in Naples.

Fantastic tour our guide was brilliant had great sense of humour and was expecting the tour to be similar to other catacomb tours but totally different, was great to hear about some of the practices around treatment of the dead with a confident and great story teller. Would highly recommend.

Tours take place hourly, with options for French and Italian. Booking in advance recommended. Unfortunately photos of actual catacombs not allowed as part of the Vatican. A very interesting tour with our knowledgeable guide- Valentina- thank you! The catacombs tours (also of San Gennaro) are part of a project to revive this area of Naples “Sanita”- a worthy cause!

Fantástic tour by a local community leader, it's very important to see the other side of Naples. The tour is made by a cooperative of young people.

Ticket entrance 15€. With the ticket you have free entrance to visit the other catacombs. The tour explains you vert well both history and traditions. You cannot take photos but you will see tunnels, skulls and graves. I thought the tour would be longer (you only walk like 50m)

Very interesting guided tour. Ticket was 9€, and additional 2€ for guide.

Very impressive church & catacombs. Super informative guided Tour.

Very interesting tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke great English. It was so interesting to hear the stories about the catacombs and experience bring there in the flesh! The only thing I'd say to improve this experience/tour would be to allow us to go back into the church we walked through to allow more photo opportunities of the stunning architecture.

Nice museum, but a bit pricy at €9 per adult. Limited food on site, including very small pizza, bakery, coffee and tea. Staff is very pleasant and helpful. There are clean bathrooms, and plenty of stalls. Clean, and was uncrowded when we were there on a Saturday at noon. Recommendation: Nice place to visit when you are tired of the Naples crowd.

Great museum, there was also Christmas fair at the territory with some nice merchants and not too expensive things. There are several buildings with different trains. Only one train is available to enter inside. When I was here they also were showing The Wizard of Oz musical show (in Italian) on the stage in little amfiteater. There is a coffee bar and a restaurant/Bistro with seating outside by the sea with wonderful view. Restaurant isn't cheap but the service and food is great. Toilets are very nice, clean, tidy and spacious.

Unique, the history of the Italian railways from the very first line , take the guides tour, is worth the 2 euros

A location I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Naples. The staff is professional, and the setting is absolutely beautiful – truly a must-visit!

This was an unexpected treasure and well worth our visit! We were staying nearby, outside of Naples, and looking for something to do in the afternoon. I figure this might be a good one hour visit but we ended up spending more than three hours here. If you love trains or transportation at all, this is a destination to visit. They have put together an amazing collection, well maintained, and well documented. We also enjoyed their cafe, immensely. It has an espresso machine that shows off the steam interior. They also use a lot of blue and yellow ceramic, which you find all along the coast and islands here. If you have half a day and want to see something different, you should check this out. It is near the coast and has beautiful views as well, so if your other half is bored, get them a coffee or cocktail and walk around. Well done, Italy. Another gift to enjoy!

Very nice place for dinner. Good variety of dishes, very delicious food, quality service and amazing atmosphere.

It was a perfect place for technology lovers, for whom adore progress of trains since beginning to more advanced locomotive. Here you can find the first locomotive in Italy that used for connecting Napoli to portici. The ticket super affordable and a nice overview to the Napoli gulf. I highly recommend

Somehow, like so many parks in Naples, this one is also "being renovated". I think it should be beautiful otherwise. But now you can only stay in front of it and have a view over some abandoned factories.

Amazing views. Authorities should really take care of this park. Entrance is half destroyed. Not to mention the road

We used the hop on hop off tourist bus and got off here to find the donkey track down to the beach. This hidden gem is what we discovered. Initially it looks like a green space not much to get excited about. (We entered from the side not the main entrance). Then we got nosey, the views were spectacular. Lots of places to explore and as you walk around the view changes and opens out over the sea. I wish we'd known about it before we stumbled on it and allowed a little more time. Also the blue route on the hop on hop off bus is stunning and well worth your time.

Beautiful view. You can see procida and ischia but also sorento and capri. The park is nice to chill and spend the day. Not much food/frinks there but there wasnon the way.

Beautiful park, it's a must do if you go to Napoli (free entry). You can see from the pictures that it has breathtaking views of the nature, nearby islands and the vesuvius. I recommend going here if it's nice weather. (Also, I prefer this park over the "big" one with the museum. Again, I'll repeat myself, this is a must-see if you go to Napoli.)

It's ok to go there for some peaceful time. This place has not been maintained well. Outside of the park so much dirty places.

Great place to take pictures in Naples! There are a couple of concessions that sell soda, water and beer. A must see. Go late in the afternoon for best sunset pictures.

Very cool place when you're into the macabre and death. Overpriced for the short experience (7€ and cash only), but I guess the price will deter some people who might not behave respectfully at the grave site that is on the basement floor. If you can't handle seeing skulls and bones, the place is not for you. Not wheelchair accessible as you have to descend downstairs to reach the grave site. There are some nice skull themed bookmarks and postcards you can buy at the end.

A wonderful place to visit. Watch the movie TROPPO NAPOLETANO (From Naples With Love), 2016 in advance. It will enhance your experience 🤩

One if the 4th churches related to the Cult of Skulls in Purgatorium. The lowest level its an osuarium which you cannot visit.

A walk into the soul(s) of Naples. This church is dedicated to the souls of the otherwise abandoned and unloved who linger in Purgatory before being permitted entry to Heaven. To speed up the process, adherents to this belief would adopt an anonymous skull from amongst those scattered in the charnel houses, clean it, set it in a niche, and pray for the skull's onetime owner's swift ascension to Paradise. In return, they would ask that soul to intercede similarly on their own behalf with God and His saints. The church itself is small but beautifully decorated, with skulls a repeating motif. You can enter the nave for free, but for the whole experience a small entry fee takes you downstairs to where the skulls sit, still cared for and surrounded with gifts and offerings as well as requests for intercessions and photographs of loved ones for whom help is asked. At the heart of this area lie several bodies in shallow earth graves; traditionally, this would allow them to dry out before being disinterred, their bones cleaned and placed reverently elsewhere. Whether the bodies there today are part of an ongoing process or relicts of earlier times I have not been able to find out. Eerie? Gruesome? Macabre? In our era of the clinicisation of death, perhaps, but it speaks powerfully of times when death was all around, physically and spiritually, and the worlds of the living and dead remained closely intertwined. I found the earth grave area spooky but deeply moving at the same time, while the care shown to the anonymous dead reminded me strongly of the shock of seeing the skeletons at Herculaneum and realising that these were the same people who walked, are, drank and made love in the rooms of the ancient city above, not just abstract ideas. For me, a must see. Just treat it with respect; it's a place of reverence, burial, and prayer, not a freak show. It's refreshingly free of barriers, notices, and "do not touch" signs, as Neapolitans and others continue to care for and leave offerings by the skulls, but it will take the continued respect of visitors to keep it that way.

After reading the reviews and enjoying the catacombs, I was looking forward to coming. However, it is way overpriced at €7 for a short experience, and hardly any discount for under 18 which is poor compared to the Santa Chiara Cloisters which is carefully looked after. There is a long video but all in Italian and no English guide (tours just in Italian) which is shame when you are inviting tourists in to visit. The macabre nature of the place and downstairs chapel is bleak and ancient and seemingly left as it has been for decades. Seeing the bones and skulls was not for me.

A really unusual experience, learning about the cult of the purgatory. A very informative multi lingual guide explained everything well

A truly moving and intense experience. The locals treat the remains of the people buried here as anonymous saints and pray for their release from purgatory. Worth a visit and remember to descend the left hand staircase on your way down and come up the (opposite way) left hand side as you look at it on the way back up... Else you'll provoke the spirits!

I had a lovely couple of hours wandering about on my own whilst the friend I was holidaying recovered from our previous days exertions at our apartment. As with all modern art some pieces were more to my taste than others but a good mix of artists and styles kept me interested across all three floors and a moment on the rooftop too.

Madre Napoli was such a pleasant surprise. I really enjoyed the space and the installations—they were well thought out, and I got to discover artists I’d never heard of before. The best part was that it wasn’t crowded, so my husband and I could take our time and enjoy each exhibit at our own pace. Definitely a cool spot to visit in Naples.

A lot of local inspirered art which I like. However its a small collection. We where done within an hour and many of the rooms/area's where shut off. Tickets were Not expensive. The art itself is mostly conceptional stuff.

The temporary exhibitions are being switched out right now so a big part of the museum was closed. At least the ticket price was lowered as well. The people working there were friendly and helpfull. The permanent collection... some of it made me feel in certain ways, so I guess it's good. But a lot of it also felt underwhelming or rather the descriptions make them out to be much more than I found them. But I guess that's just subjective. I liked the Yoko Ono pieces, fun! And the entrance installation of course. The faces of migrants (forgot the artist's name) touched me (as a migrant as well).

Tomaso Binga exhibit was absolutely incredible. My wife and I spent the day in Naples and loved visiting this museum. The museum had many different rooms and floors to explore. The staff were very kind, and the bathrooms were clean. It was very inexpensive for admission, and there are many good restaurants nearby.

In the beginning i missed some information to find the exhibition. Then i figured out and it was good. Very beautiful building

Quiet time- terrace cafe closed, as was neighbouring villa.Relatively few rather tired permanent exhibits. Extensive temporary retrospective and some interesting ‘murals’. Beautiful building housing museum was most interesting feature frankly.

A nice park beside the promenade. The park itself is quite pretty, with lush foliage and grass, a beautiful fountain, and some really nice statues. Certainly a nice place for a stroll, or to enjoy a coffee quietly. There is also a children’s playground.

The park seems to be closed and abandoned. I got lucky someone left right when I wanted to visit the aquarium or else I wouldn't have gotten in. It's a big fenced in area with gates locked so if you want to get to the other side you have to walk all the way around. People inside will try to get you to leave until you make them understand that you want to visit the aquarium or museum. And to be honest, the aquarium was not worth the hassle as it's tiny and can be run through in half an hour.

Villa Comunale is supposed to be the city’s “green lung,” but in reality it feels more like a neglected ruin. Once grand, now run-down and poorly maintained, it’s a shadow of what it could be. The state of the park is also a reflection of Naples itself – trash, decay, and a clear lack of funding everywhere. Walking through, you sometimes forget that you’re still in Europe. A sad reminder of how beautiful places can decline without care and investment.

What could be a beautiful park is unfortunately run down and unkempt. We had a peaceful walk thru on a hot and busy Napoli afternoon, then visited the aquarium.

What a sad place. Abandoned water features, half of it is just unshielded benches in the sun on asphalt. To call this a park is a disgrace to any other park out there. Had some time to kill, saw the green spot on google and went for it, unfortunately green is not really what I found and I could choose between being grilled alive on a bench in the middle of asphalt or sit on the ground/grass in the bit of greenery that is there just to be a bit shaded..

Closed without notice. Seems abandoned. We don't know why. No information anywhere. What a pity. This was on Nov, 4th 2021, a Thursday. We retried it on Saturday, 6th of November, and then the gates were open. But it was already dark, late afternoon and the place was again abandoned. It has plants, palms and so, some play grounds, but it is nothing special. You don't have to go to Neapel to visit just that park.

Absolutely stunning garden with beautiful blossoming purple trees and nice walkways for jogging. Immediately in front of the coastline to the Bay of Naples. You can join the locals and go for a swim off the rocks or at a small beach.

A gorgeous view of the whole city poster like. Best point to take a photo with the city as your background. The colorful portrait of buildings and roofs makes you speechless.

Good view on the whole city of Napoli. There is also a museum at the top and a little cafe. The way to get there is a bit tough but if you take your time it should be easy enough. Definitely worth it for the view. You can see the mountains and some historical buildings.

Chose to walk off a heavy dinner and did we ever. Pretty steep ascent, but a stunning view. Just be careful on the narrow streets before getting to the stairs. Looks like you can take a car up too, but that’s lame.

Great views of the city of Napoli. Take the funicular unless you are in great shape to walk up the stairs. I walked down the stairs and that was a lot of exercise watching where you stepped on the stones.

Great view. Don’t have to walk up get one of the funiculars

View is amazing here and come here for the sunset, come here around 2h before the sunset. Entrance was 2.5€

Great view. We climbed on the stairs: 20+ min ~1km... Good to exercise, sweat a lot, but worth it.

Nice art gallery in Naples, but unfortunately Caravaggio was not there. Also it was a quest to see the temporary exposition. If not the gallery contains the paintings of different epochs , there is even Andy Warhol

A fairly good choice with a variety of exhibits, offering a pleasant city escape for art lovers. It’s nothing groundbreaking or extraordinary, but worth a relaxed visit to explore different types and styles of art in a nice setting.

The modern stuff is terrible but modern art is never good. The vases were okay. The classic art was great and the highlight of this visit.

Visiting this museum is an amazing experience, starting with the building itself, which is impressive in it's own way, they have a great art collection, very well curated and put together. It's also displayed in a highly professional style, very well and creatively lit, I have nothing but the highest praise for all the people who manage it. The staff is amazingly helpful and polite and it's just a classy and also a cathartic experience. I would rate this 7/5 stars if I could. Must see in Naples.

Lovely museum, with varied exhibitions, and just big enough to spend a few hours while it rained outside.

Great museum with helpful stuff. I thought I would spent some time here, but it took me just only an hour..

Escape the chaos and enjoy a couple of hours taking in some amazing artwork. The rooms having a specific fragrance to match the art was a great touch. The only downside would be it would be good if you could buy the scents as they were superb

Castle on the island, the third one in Naples that we saw, currently under some kind of renovation. There are lots of restaurants around it, so it's in the center of night life. Still it's another massive old monument of Naples grand history.

Unfortunately, the castle itself is currently under construction, so we couldn’t explore the interior. However, going there at night was still worth it. The scenery was beautiful with a pleasant atmosphere all around. The area is lively, with plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby, making it a nice spot for an evening walk or dinner.

Beautiful area but a lot of construction going on around it so difficult to get the perfect view. Lovely walk down there from the old town.

Castel dell’Ovo was closed and surrounded by scaffolding for restoration, which ruined the view. The area underneath with restaurants felt crowded and uncomfortable, with unpleasant smells in the air. Overall, was not an enjoyable visit.

Unfortunately, the castle is under reconstruction, I wasn't able to see the inside of it. However, it's still a good idea to go at night was. The scenery was nice with a pleasant atmosphere all around. The area is lively, with plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby, making it a nice spot for an evening walk or dinner.

it was beautiful and unbelievable an oceanfront castle. It is free to go up inside and to the roof. Another name of the castle is Egg castle (sounds very cute) The castle is rectangular in plan, approximately 200 by 45 metres at its widest and the castle is popular for newlyweds to have their wedding photos taken. Inside the castle walls are several buildings that are often used for exhibitions and other special events. if you have some extra time, there are some good views on the top.

We had the pleasure of visiting Ovo Castle in Naples, Italy. Nestled on the picturesque islet of Megaride, the castle's location is nothing short of stunning. The panoramic views of the Bay of Naples from the castle are breathtaking and offer a unique perspective of the city and Mount Vesuvius. The history of Ovo Castle is fascinating, dating back to Roman times. Walking through its ancient walls, I felt a deep connection to the past. The castle has undergone various transformations over the centuries, serving as a fortress, a royal residence, and even a prison. This rich history is palpable in every stone and corridor. One of the highlights of my visit was exploring the various rooms and halls inside the castle. Although some areas show signs of aging, they add to the authentic charm of the place. The exhibitions inside provide valuable insights into the castle's history and cultural significance in Naples. Accessibility to the castle is quite convenient. It's a short walk from the mainland, connected by a causeway. The entry fee was reasonable, and the castle wasn't overly crowded, allowing for a more intimate exploration. However, I did notice that some parts of the castle could benefit from better maintenance and signage. Information in English was limited in certain areas, which might be challenging for international tourists. Overall, Ovo Castle is a must-visit for anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a picturesque spot in Naples. It's a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and a window into the rich tapestry of Neapolitan history.

This was another highlight during our visit of Naples. It's not to be missed if you're a WWII buff, or have any personal connections to this era. We purchased the standard tour (there are 3) which starts at the entrance of Vico del Grottone. It's close to the Piazza del Plebiscito. There are timed entries. We just happened to get there just before the guided English tour at 11:00am. The timing was perfect. I would rethink this one if you have mobility or night vision issues. The very first thing you'll do is walk down a very high, narrow, and dimly lit stairway with pumice walls surrounding you. I'm pretty sure our tunnel guide said it was 90 steps down. The good news is that you won't have to climb up at the end. You'll exit out into a covered parking area along Via Monte de Dio. Our guide was so passionate & knowledgeable. I think his name was David. He also made sure that every question was answered. It's quite a long & rocky history of why the King had it built, and the obstacles they had building around the aqueducts and holding tanks. The vision was never fully realized after the fall of the Bourbon monarchy. It was abandoned until WWII when it was used as a shelter from bombs. It's an incredible story, and you can see how the residents of Naples lived under the brutal conditions of war. Some lived there longer because they had nowhere else to live after houses were destroyed. We were very impressed with how well the tunnels were restored, and hearing about how all these secrets (artifacts) were uncovered. It had been hiding under Naples all these years until being rediscovered some time in 2005. I don't think it even opened to the public until 2010. It was a very memorable & unique experience. Very much worth the small admission fee. Definitely seek it out if you are in Naples. It only takes an hour, and it's well worth the time.

The tour is awesome, a lot of cool stuff to see. Recommend buying the ticket in advance. I tried buying through the website, but there were some technical issues. I end up walking to their office and buying the tickets in person for later that day tour.

The location is a bit hidden, the entrance is through the parking lot so it’s easy to miss. It was a very nice spot to visit during a summer heatwave, offering a cool escape. However, I would have preferred to explore on my own without a guide, as the tour felt a bit restrictive. There’s a small collection of cars and a brief bit of history, but overall, not a lot to see. Worth a quick stop if you’re nearby, but don’t expect a deep or extensive experience.

This experience of walking through the bunkers and old WWII tunnels is like no other! We arrived to our tour early as recommended which the tour didn’t start until 4pm. We only had to wait 10minutes not even as we arrived prior to 4. Our Tour guide Alessandra was absolutely amazing, she was so informative and took the time to ensure everyone understood. Alessandra ensured everyone knew there was a low tunnel coming or a step coming up and always waited for the people who took a little longer for some photos or to have an extra look! Id definitely recommended buying tickets in advance and ensuring you arrive a little bit before your time slot. Such an amazing experience that we will never forget.

The best visit so far in Naples. It's amazing 👏 👏👏. Tour guide explained very well about what this place was. This place huge. You'll not arrived at the same entrance. But worry not, you can walk and you'll find nice squares with bars and shopping places. And not far you can visit the big church with a huge square. Recommend to buy tickets in advance. Love from Bali

Located at Via Domenico Morelli, 61c, 80121 Naples NA, Italy 🇮🇹. Also known as The Bourbon Tunnel, Tunnel Borbonico or Bourbon Gallery, this is an ancient underground passage, constructed for military purposes to connect the Royal Palace to military barracks in Naples. In 1853, Ferdinand II of Bourbon commissioned architect Errico Alvino to design a viaduct so that the Royal forces would have access to the Royal Palace in case of public riots and also so that there would be an escape route for the Royals. Work began on the Track in April 1853 and was completed in May 1855 after approximately 2 years of work done entirely by hand with picks, hammers and wedges with the aid of torches and candles. During the war period, between 1939 and 1945, the tunnels were used as shelter for citizens. Standard Tour Adults (14 year and over) 10€ Children (11-13 years) 5€ Adults (75 years and over) 5€ Children (10 years and under) FREE These tours are on Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday at 10.00am, 12.00noon, 3.00pm and 5.00pm Bookings are Mandatory and tour lasts approximately 1 hour. We had a fantastic time on this tour, it was recommended we arrive early and so we got there about 20 minutes early. Didn’t have to wait long. Our guide was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Answered any questions with no hesitation. Very friendly and ensured everyone’s safety by warning when a step, uneven ground or low ceiling coming up. Was happy to wait for people taking photos to catch up. There’s also a lot of things left in the tunnels over the years like old bikes and cars. I would definitely recommend this tour, very interesting. Thumbs Up!!! 👍👍👍

This is MUST visit in Napoli, you get a detailed guided tour and tunnels were cleaned and preserved by efforts of a geologist. This is experience like no other. Please make sure to get tickets in advance as tour slots fill up beforehand.

Simply iconic, the entire street is dedicated to Maradona, el D10S i Napoli. Legendary. Not to be missed by any football fans.

Worst restaurant on our trip in Italy 🇮🇹 don't waste your money coming to this place. The food was cold, and the service was horrible. The Maradona mural was a let down, it is in super bad condition, and the area (as much of Naples) is dirty and noisy.

This place is definitely worth a visit, the atmosphere and the whole area has a charm.

Must go by walking. Very unique experience.

I visited Naples just for few hours but my goal was to see this mural and walk through Quartieri Spagnoli. It is crowdy place with lots of small restaurants on the way and gift shops

We just arrived in this city today and we are fascinated by it! We immediately felt the special charm and pleasant madness of this unique city. And this Spanish Quarter generally shocked us. This is a unique, alien city within a city! From the video and photo you will not understand and do not appreciate it. You must visit this place, see everything there, hear and see hundreds of mopeds pooping up and down. And abaokutely must see this peerless corner dedicated to Diego Armando Maradona.

To be here and see Maradona’s mural, is to be in the heart of Napoli! The spirit of Maradonna lives on and the cultural significance of this place is not only seen, but felt. You can find a lot of Maradona merch and souvenirs. Must visit for culture and sports lovers.
