Take part in a full-day walking tour led by a professional local guide in the most important city of Southern Italy. Naples is a unique site, rich and variegated thanks to the imprint of multiple European and Mediterranean cultures. Naples is one of the most ancient cities in Europe, whose contemporary urban fabric preserves the elements of its long and eventful history. Its street pattern, its wealth of historic buildings from many periods and its setting on the Bay of Naples give it an outstanding universal value.
Meet your guide at Piazza del Gesù and begin your experience from Spaccanapoli, the city's central road which follows the same path of the Roman-times cardo (main avenue). While walking along this street, you will get into the local authentic atmosphere; you’ll see the miraculous church and monastery of Saint Chiara and the famous San Severo Chapel where the stunning "Veiled Christ" statue by Giuseppe Sammartino is kept.
Your route will then take you to Via dei Tribunali and then you'll continue admiring the 13th-century church of Saint Lorenzo. One of the main highlights will be the cathedral of Saint Gennaro with its marvellous neogothic facade. Stop at a classical pizzeria to enjoy an authentic pizza for lunch and then move towards the monumental area of the city. Here you will get the chance to visit the famous San Carlo theater, the first professional Opera theatre in Europe, the Royal Palace, the beautiful Gambrinus cafe', where a lot of famous artists and writers have been, and the formidable Maschio Angioino castle.
