Overview

Welcome to the authentic heart of Naples, one of the oldest and most vibrant cities in Europe. Accompanied by an authorized and experienced Tour Guide, deeply linked to the city, you will cross the historic center following an itinerary designed for those who want to discover the truest Naples, far from the most obvious routes.

From Piazza Bellini you will walk along Via dei Tribunali, the ancient Decumano Maggiore of Neapolis, today a lively street of shops, voices and traditions. Among alleys and hidden views, you will encounter little-known but unique places, told through stories, curiosities and anecdotes of the Neapolitan tradition.
The route will lead you to the suggestive church of Santa Maria delle Anime del Purgatorio and the Basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore, an extraordinary testimony of medieval Naples.

The tour ends at the Cathedral of Naples, the spiritual heart of the city, where you will discover the history of the Blood of San Gennaro, symbol of the deep bond between Naples and its patron.
