It’s no secret that a city as historic as Naples would have too many attractions to count – but from visiting the Castel dell’Ovo, the oldest castle in Naples (and exploring the quaint sailor’s village and tiny port just below), to being blown away by the unexpected beauty of one of Europe’s most famous metro stations, you’ll experience 15 of the city’s top attractions in just eight hours. You’ll see the popular market on Pignasecca square, ancient churches, and the 800-year-old Federico II University – but more than that, your host will lead you to several sights you didn’t even know existed, like a street dedicated to artisans selling intricate, handmade models of Nativity characters and celebrities, and an impressive street mural by local street artist Jorit. 

You’ll go on a whirlwind tour of Naples’ top sights in its iconic central districts. Almost 3000 years old, the bustling Centro Storico area, known for its frescoed chapels, ancient shrines, and artisan studios, is the pounding heart of traditional Naples where you’ll see everything from impressive architecture to famous bars (and sample some incredible local food). Two miles west in Santa Lucia, a district once dear to artists and musicians, luxurious hotels and expensive restaurants are dotted along the city’s stunning coastline, while hilltop Vomero, a residential district two miles north, harbors a secret your local insider will be eager to show you: one of the most beautiful panoramic views in Naples, right outside a 700-year-old monastery-turned-museum.
