Full description

We pick you up at your hotel outside the city — in Pompeii, on the Sorrento peninsula, on the coast or in Caserta — and enter Naples along the seafront.

The sea: the seafront and Posillipo

The first part of the drive follows the coast: Via Partenope with Castel dell’Ovo, Mergellina and then the Posillipo road, climbing between villas to the viewpoint over the bay. From up there you see Vesuvius, the Sorrento peninsula and Capri at once. It is the photo stop, about twenty minutes.

The hill: Capodimonte

We cross the city to the Capodimonte hill, where the Royal Park — free entry — looks down over Naples, from the port to Vesuvius. The Capodimonte Museum is not part of the tour: it would not fit into four hours, but the tour can be extended if you want it.

On foot: the old town

The last stop is on foot, because cars cannot enter the old town: your driver drops you at the edge of the restricted traffic zone and waits for you. In three quarters of an hour you walk Spaccanapoli, pass through San Gregorio Armeno, the street of nativity workshops, and reach the Cathedral. Then back to where you started.

How much walking

2 km · Low physical effort — Almost all the walking is in the old town: a couple of flat kilometres on cobbles, with scooters coming through the lanes. At the viewpoints you only step a few metres from the car.

When to go

All year round. Early in the morning the city moves faster and the light over the bay is clearer; Saturday afternoon is the busiest time on the roads.

The same itinerary by public transport

The open-top sightseeing bus runs two routes around the centre and Posillipo, hop on and off, for about €27 per person for 24 hours. With city transport you combine metro, funiculars and buses for Posillipo and Capodimonte, on tickets of a few euros, but there are many changes and the hill routes run infrequently.

When it genuinely wins

For one or two people with time to spare the sightseeing bus costs less, and we say so: you get on and off as you please. The tour is for those staying outside the city with half a day: no trains into Naples, and it goes up to Capodimonte, where the bus does not. From three people up, the difference per head shrinks a lot.

Yes, by adding time at the stops: in the tour calculator you choose how long to stay at Capodimonte or in the old town, and the price updates. Museum tickets are separate and bought on the spot or in advance; for the Sansevero Chapel it is worth booking, as entry is by timed slot.
