Trip Itinerary

Piazza Dante

This will be our meeting point. From here we will start our immersion in Naples, starting from Spaccanapoli. Walk along this famous narrow street that slices through the historic center, discovering artisan shops, ancient churches, and vibrant local life.

Via San Gregorio Armeno

Napoli Sotterranea Guided Authorized Tour

Day 1
Beneath the bustling streets of Naples lies a vast underground world carved into volcanic tuff stone. Napoli Sotterranea (Naples Underground) reveals over 2,400 years of history — from ancient Greek aqueducts to Roman cisterns and WWII air-raid shelters. Walking through these narrow tunnels and echoing chambers, you’ll feel the layers of time beneath your feet. It’s a fascinating, otherworldly experience that shows how Naples has always adapted, survived, and reinvented itself — from the depths up.

Naples

Day 1-2
Naples isn’t just the birthplace of pizza — it’s where pizza becomes art. Dining in a local pizzeria in the evening isn’t just about food, it’s a cultural ritual shared with locals. Expect a thin, soft, wood-fired crust, fresh mozzarella, San Marzano tomatoes, and maybe a drizzle of olive oil — all made with passion and tradition. Whether you choose the classic Margherita or a bold variation, pizza in Naples is more than a meal: It’s warmth, pride, simplicity… and joy on a plate. The first evening ends with good company, a cold drink, and that unforgettable first bite that always makes you say: “This is real pizza.” 🍅🔥
5

Mercato Pignasecca

Day 2
Naples’ oldest and liveliest street market. Colors, smells, vendors calling out in the local dialect, and street food at every corner — a real dive into the Neapolitan spirit. Possible tastings: fried snacks (cuoppo), tarallo ‘nzogna e pepe (savory pastry), warm sfogliatella pastry, or a quick espresso ☕.
6

Via dei Tribunali

Day 2
enjoy lunch at a traditional trattoria or try more Neapolitan street food (like fried pasta snacks or pizza folded to eat on the go). Typical dishes include genovese sauce pasta, pasta with potatoes and provola cheese, and eggplant parmigiana.
7

Via Caracciolo

Day 2-3
A relaxing walk along the seaside promenade with stunning views of Mount Vesuvius, Capri island, Castel dell’Ovo, and the Gulf of Naples. Visit Castel dell’Ovo, the oldest castle in the city, famous for the legend of the magical egg said to protect Naples. Enjoy some of the most beautiful panoramic views in the city. End the afternoon with a relaxing drink at sunset by the sea. Options include bars with sea views, soft music, and classic Neapolitan aperitifs or cocktails.
8

Piazza del Plebiscito

Day 3
Start your day in Piazza del Plebiscito, Naples’ grandest square. Admire the majestic Royal Palace (Palazzo Reale) and the impressive Basilica of San Francesco di Paola with its massive dome and columns inspired by Rome’s Pantheon. Learn about Naples’ royal past and its role in Italian unification.
9

San Carlo Theatre

Day 3
Walk over to the San Carlo Theatre, Europe’s oldest working opera house, and discover its history of cultural prestige. Just nearby, visit the elegant Galleria Umberto I, a 19th-century glass-domed shopping arcade full of cafés and boutiques — perfect for a coffee break or quick shopping.
10

Castel Nuovo

Explore Castel Nuovo (Maschio Angioino), a medieval fortress with a rich history as a royal residence and symbol of Neapolitan power. Inside, you’ll find a museum with medieval and Renaissance art, plus stunning views from the battlements.

Enjoy lunch in the vibrant Quartieri Spagnoli (Spanish Quarters), a lively neighborhood full of authentic eateries and street art. Try classic dishes like ragù alla napoletana, spaghetti alle vongole (spaghetti with clams), or a fresh seafood plate.

Via Toledo

Day 3
As we stroll down Via Toledo, one of Naples’ busiest and most charming streets, you’ll feel the city’s vibrant energy all around you. This lively boulevard is lined with a mix of elegant shops, local artisan boutiques, and colorful street vendors — the perfect place to find those last special souvenirs to take home. If you want to treat your taste buds one last time, grab a sfogliatella, the classic flaky pastry filled with ricotta and candied fruit, or try a fresh babà soaked in rum, both Neapolitan sweets beloved across Italy. Don’t miss the freshly roasted coffee shops along the way, where you can sip a rich espresso or pick up some aromatic beans to brew your own Naples-style coffee back home. As we say goodbye, Via Toledo is the perfect final embrace of Naples — a place where history, tradition, and everyday life come together in a delightful mix of sights, sounds, and flavors.
