Naples Cityscape

OVERVIEW

See the quintessential landmarks that define the heart of Naples followed by hours of free time to focus on other attractions that sound appealing. Being the third most-populated city in Italy, Naples is always buzzing with activity. That irrepressible energy and the spectacular backdrop of architectural gems and panoramic views give Naples its charm. While walking through downtown with the guide, you will stroll the grand Piazza del Plebiscito – the city’s largest public gathering place – and along Via Toledo, a pedestrian-only shopping street. You will also pass through the Galleria Umberto I, an absolutely gorgeous shopping arcade in a late 19th-century building with a domed glass-and-steel roof. While you could stay and shop, there are plenty of other attractions nearby, including the San Carlo Theater, a world-class opera house that has become a revered symbol of Naples. You could also visit the 13th-century fortress Castel Nuovo, another famous city symbol.
