Naples Walking Tour
Naples, Italy
Why Walk Naples
Naples is not for the faint-hearted, but walkers who embrace its chaos are rewarded with one of Europe's most authentic cities. The Spaccanapoli, a dead-straight street that splits the old town, follows the path of the original Greek city and is lined with churches, workshops, and street vendors. The underground city — Napoli Sotterranea — reveals Greek aqueducts and Roman theaters beneath your feet. The Archaeological Museum houses the finest collection of Pompeii artifacts anywhere, and the waterfront Castel dell'Ovo offers sweeping views of Vesuvius across the bay. The Quartieri Spagnoli is a dense grid of narrow streets full of life, laundry, and Neapolitan character. And of course, pizza was invented here — at Da Michele, Sorbillo, and dozens of other legendary pizzerias.
