Rome to Naples
A two-city walking tour itinerary
Combining Rome and Naples makes for one of the best multi-city trips you can take. Rome and Naples are both in Italy, making them easy to combine by train or short flight.
Rome
Italy
A Rome walking tour is a journey through three thousand years of Western civilization, where ancient ruins, Renaissance churches, and bustling piazzas layer on top of each other in an open-air museum unlike anywhere else on earth. Walking tours in Rome connect the Colosseum, Trastevere, and the Vatican in routes you can follow at your own pace.
Highlights
- •The Colosseum and Roman Forum — a 2,000-year-old arena that once seated 50,000 spectators, connected by a walkable archaeological path to the Palatine Hill
- •The Pantheon and Piazza Navona — the best-preserved Roman building with its original unreinforced concrete dome, steps from Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers
- •Trastevere neighborhood — cobblestone lanes filled with ivy-draped trattorias, street art, and one of Rome's most atmospheric evening walks
- •The Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica — the world's largest church and the Sistine Chapel ceiling, reachable via a scenic walk across the Tiber
Naples
Italy
Naples is raw, chaotic, and utterly captivating — a city where ancient Greek ruins sit beneath street level, laundry hangs across Baroque alleys, and every corner pizzeria serves the world's best pie.
Highlights
- •Spaccanapoli and the historic center — the ancient straight street that literally splits Naples' historic center in two, lined with churches, pizzerias, and artisan workshops
- •Naples National Archaeological Museum — one of the world's greatest archaeological museums, housing the Farnese collection of classical sculpture and the most important finds from Pompeii and Herculaneum, including the Alexander Mosaic, the Secret Cabinet of erotic Roman art, and everyday objects frozen in time by Vesuvius's eruption in 79 AD. The 18th-century palazzo contains over 3,000 objects across four floors.
- •Castel dell'Ovo — the oldest standing fortification in Naples, built on the islet of Megaride with legendary origins tied to Virgil's magical egg
- •Naples Underground (Napoli Sotterranea) — a labyrinth of tunnels, aqueducts, and chambers 40 meters below the city, carved from volcanic tuff over 2,400 years
