Route

1. Start your tour with a pickup from your centrally located Naples hotel or, alternatively, from Naples train station. Then, set off in your comfortable, air-conditioned minivan with your expert guide for your small-group tour of the highlights of this vibrant city — the third largest in Italy. As you travel, hear how Naples is one of Europe’s oldest cities, with roots stretching back to the 4th century BC, and how its historical center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its handsome plazas, palaces and castles. Visit Naples Cathedral (Duomo di San Gennaro) the 13th-century church dedicated to the city’s patron saint Gennaro and see inside its fresco-coated Chapel of the Treasure of San Gennaro. As you admire the mural, hear all about the vials of Gennaro’s blood kept in the chapel, and how they’re brought out three days a year, usually liquefying in what’s seen as a good omen.

2. Peep inside the nearby Basilica Santa Restituta, the original 6th-century church that stood on the cathedral site and then continue by minivan along the city center to the Piazza Municipio to see the Castel Nuovo, known locally as Maschio Angioino. Take photos at the stone battlements and crenellated turrets of this striking medieval castle and hear how, after being constructed by the kings of Anjou in the 1200s, the castle was rebuilt by the Aragonese in the 1600s before becoming home to Naples’ royals in the 18th century.

About Napels

Gepassioneerd en chaotisch onder de Vesuvius is Napels de geboorteplaats van de pizza en de poort naar Pompeji, Capri en de Amalfikust.

Het historische centrum, een dicht stratenraster dat de oude Grieken aanlegden, is een wereld van kerken, straatkapelletjes en wasgoed dat tussen balkons hangt. Spaccanapoli snijdt er recht doorheen, de Via San Gregorio Armeno staat vol werkplaatsen voor kerststallen, en de Sansevero-kapel herbergt de verbluffende Gesluierde Christus. Onder de grond onthullen tunnels en reservoirs de Griekse en Romeinse stad eronder.

Top-ranked sights in Napels: Mt. Vesuvius (Monte Vesuvio), Via dei Tribunali, Naples Historic Center (Napoli Centro Storico).
