2 Days in Naples: Historic Center, Street Food and the Underground City
Discover the layers of Neapolitan culture from its ancient subsoil to its legendary street food alleys.
This 2-day Naples experience combines an overnight stay in the city with two guided excursions that reveal the soul of Naples from the cobblestones of Spaccanapoli to the tunnels buried beneath the streets.
An authorized local guide leads you through the historic center, tracing centuries of history along Via dei Tribunali, past the celebrated crib workshops of San Gregorio Armeno, and through the labyrinth of churches and piazzas that define daily Neapolitan life. Along the way, you sample street food that has earned global recognition, tasted directly from the vendors who have perfected it for generations.
The second major experience takes you underground, where you choose between three distinct subterranean routes: the Bourbon Gallery, the Lapis Museum with its submerged Decumanus, or Buried Neapolis. Each route offers a different perspective on the city that has grown, layer by layer, for more than two thousand years.
Campania Overland handles the logistics so you focus entirely on the experience. Select your check-in date, and the itinerary is arranged for you.
