Museo Cappella San Severo

Built in the late 1500s, this gem of Italian artistic heritage was greatly influenced by the famous Raimondo de Sangro VII, Prince of San Severo, a genius of science and invention.

This place was like a mason's hall or something similar. The commissioned a bunch of artwork. it is some of the best that I have seen. The Jesus statue in marble is actually amazing. And the one on the wall with the fisherman is possibly more amazing. No pictures are allowed but it is awesome. And it's small so it won't talk you long.

Scavi di Pompei

Home of the world's most famous volcanic disaster when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D., Pompeii is now a significant archeological site that provides an amazing glimpse into the daily life of an average Roman town over two thousand years ago.

The site as a whole is fantastic considering its history however it was incredibly tourist unfriendly. Access is terribly poor if you go with a buggy or wheelchair and make sure that you book a guide as there is no information whatsoever on what you are looking at. We managed to cover quite a lot of ground with the buggy however but we were knackered by the end of the day.

Napulitanata

Napulitanata is a concert hall dedicated to Neapolitan Music Heritage, especially to Canzone Napoletana and Tarantella. Everything comes from the need to set up a place in the heart of Naples where everyone can have full access to the great local music heritage in an experiential way, a sort of model after the Spanish Tablao or the Portuguese Case de Fados.

Reviewed By Elisabeth S - New York City, New York

This is a wonderful place run by passionate, talented, warm and professional people. We went twice. The music is beautiful and the talent incredible. They have clearly put so much work into transforming this venue from an old taxi garage to a thriving music concert. The best 10 euro you will spend in Naples for an hour of music, wine, and taralli. You will meet great people and learn a lot about the city and its music. We can't wait to go back.

This city is much better than what it used to be much cleaner and safer. You could go to the local restaurants and have some authentic Italian food. This place is a must if you love taking selfies.

Sentiero degli dei (Path of the Gods)

Reviewed By acandkc - Richland, Washington

My esteemed spouse and I started in Praiano, near the center and hiked up..up..up..to the convent...and what a hike it is! Yes, you will be tired and your calves will hurt after, but to be so alone, to listen to the bells of the goats, to spot the old buildings that are crumbling into the rocks and wonder who would have ever built something there..and then to see the sea below you..this is an amazing experience. Wear layers as you will work up a sweat. Bring water as there was none on the path. But mostly bring yourself and get ready for a wonderful time. Total from Praiano to the convent and back was about 2 and a half hours, but we were in no hurry!

Galleria Borbonica

Enchanting scenery that unfolds to the eyes of visitors, a secret place full of history and magic atmosphere.An emotional journey that conducts visitors in the new section of the underground of Naples. It is situated in Vico del Grottone 4, from to 150 mt. to Plebiscito Square. Until a few years ago it wasa veterinary laboratory, now is the entrance of the Bourbon Tunnel. A staircase with 8 ramps, 33 yards deep descending into the belly of Chiaia. The second entry is in Via Domenico Morelli,40, through the crosswalk of “Quick parking”.The Tunnel was built in 1853 by Ferdinand II of Bourbon, who, concerned about the outbreak of rebellion, he asked for an escape from the Royal Palace to the barrack in Via della Pace, now Via Morelli. The work was uncompleted and, during the second World War, was used by residents of the area as a military hospital, later becoming the Hall Judicial Deposit.The war left its mark even in the subsoil. That’s way there are handwrite, folding beds, messages of wish and desolation of those who lived it and still maintains its memory. Along the tunnel thereare also the evidences, 530 meters, where visitors can discover the history of real life. Through the spacious streets, it’s easy reachable the network of tunnels and cisterns of seventeenth-century,large buildings, where worked the "pozzari", the only connoisseur of Naples underground.The show is stunning, but that's not finished. On Via Morelli appear statues dating back to fascist period and many cars and motorcycles, abandoned for years, freed from piles of rubbish, arranged and illuminated ad hoc for the route.Nothing is left to chance, even lighting, perfectly integrated with the path of the visitors.Since today everything is possible to visit. Five years ago the scenery was completely different.Rubbish, degradation, wastes of all kinds covered the reliquaries.

I travelled to Naples with a group and we decided to visit the tunnels to get a different view of Naples. We had Elena as a tour guide and she was so insightful, friendly and engaging, she really made the tour come alive. The tunnel offers an amazing amount of history in short space of time but I must say, it was all truly amazing. I had some idea of the tunnels beforehand but I must say that the tour far exceeded my expectations. It is well worth a visit and if you are not sure how to get there then just take the 151 bus and it will bring you right to the entrance.
