Itinerary

Castel Nuovo - Maschio Angioino

15 min

Castel Nuovo, called by the Neapolitans Maschio Angioino, is a historic medieval and Renaissance castle, as well as one of the symbols of the city of Naples. It was commissioned by King Charles of Anjou in 1266
Palazzo Reale

20 min

The Royal Palace represented for over three centuries the center of power in Naples and throughout southern Italy. Overlooking Piazza del Plebiscito and the Gulf, it is a real gateway to the city towards the sea
Santa Lucia

30 min

The village of Santa Lucia is almost a world apart, a place frozen in time. Among council houses and Art Nouveau buildings, between alleys and panoramas over the Gulf, there is the village at the foot of Monte Echia which is part of the history of Naples: it is here that the first Greek settlers arrived 2,800 years ago.
Quartieri Spagnoli

30 min

The Quartieri Spagnoli represent one of the many "souls" of Naples. Born to offer accommodation to Spanish soldiers, after a difficult past they have become a destination for many tourists in recent years, attracted by the local markets and the scents and colors that only a city like Naples can offer.
Centro Storico

30 min

The historic center of Naples is the largest in Europe, a UNESCO heritage site since 1995 and is the most touristic, authentic and historically rich area of the city. There are narrow streets, ancient shops, churches, museums, historic buildings and archaeological sites, in a place where time seems to have stopped. The Greeks arrived here and founded the city of Neapolis 2,500 years ago.
