🌋 Naples Tickets – Layers of History, Art & Flavour
Naples is raw, energetic and unforgettable.
Beneath its streets, ancient tunnels and aqueducts form Underground Naples. Above ground, you’ll find the breathtaking Veiled Christ in the Sansevero Chapel, and one of the world’s best collections of Roman artefacts at the National Archaeological Museum.
Book your Naples tickets online to secure timed entry and explore the city without stress.
🕳️ Underground Naples (Napoli Sotterranea)
Underground Naples reveals a hidden world of Greek quarries, Roman tunnels and World War II shelters, 40 meters below the historic center.
- What you’ll see: Narrow passages, cisterns, underground chapels, wartime graffiti.
- Guided only: Access is with a licensed guide, usually in set languages.
- Good to know: Some passages are tight and involve stairs; not ideal for severe claustrophobia or mobility issues.
🕯️ Sansevero Chapel & The Veiled Christ
The Sansevero Chapel is one of Naples’ greatest secrets. The marble Veiled Christ appears weightless under a carved veil – a sculpture so realistic it feels like fabric.
- Tickets: Timed entry is mandatory; small interior = limited capacity.
- Highlights: Veiled Christ, statues of Virtue and Disillusion, anatomical machines in the crypt.
- Tip: Early morning or late afternoon is quieter.
🏛️ National Archaeological Museum of Naples
The National Archaeological Museum (MANN) houses many of the finest finds from Pompeii and Herculaneum, plus Greek and Roman collections that rival any in Europe.
- Must-see rooms: Farnese Collection, mosaics from Pompeii, fresco galleries.
- Time needed: 2–3 hours for highlights.
- Tip: Visit before or after your Pompeii tour.
🏰 Castel dell’Ovo and Naples Seafront
On the seafront at Borgo Marinari, Castel dell’Ovo offers relaxed views over the bay with Mount Vesuvius in the background.
- Entry: Often free.
- Walk: Sunset stroll along Via Partenope – Via Caracciolo.
