Three days to bring together historic Naples, its traditional neighbourhoods, its food, its views and the sea, without losing the joy of discovery.
More time, more Naples
With three days, you can mix famous sights with unexpected detours. This itinerary starts from the Gloves Rooms area, groups the stops by neighbourhood and leaves each evening free enough to follow a tip you pick up along the way.
Day 1 The Sanità, archaeology and the old town
Morning
The Rione Sanità
Start close to the B&B with Borgo dei Vergini, Palazzo dello Spagnolo and the Basilica of Santa Maria della Sanità. Consider the catacombs if you'd like to dig deeper.
Lunch
From the neighbourhood to the Museum
Stop for lunch between the Sanità and Piazza Cavour, then head to the National Archaeological Museum.
Afternoon
The MANN
Spend the afternoon with the collections from Pompeii, Herculaneum and the ancient world, choosing the sections that interest you most.
Evening
Piazza Bellini
Head down to the old town for an aperitivo and dinner, without straying too far from the next day's route.
Day 2 The decumani and local flavours
Morning
The Duomo and San Gregorio Armeno
Enter the historic centre from the Duomo, continue past the nativity-scene workshops and reach the Sansevero Chapel (booking required).
Lunch
Neapolitan street food
Pick a pizza a portafoglio, a frittatina or a cuoppo and take a break in one of the squares of the historic centre.
Afternoon
Spaccanapoli and Santa Chiara
Continue towards San Domenico Maggiore, Santa Chiara and Gesù Nuovo, taking in the courtyards and craft shops along the way.
Evening
Dinner in the centre
Stay among the decumani, the ancient streets of the old town, or head back to the Sanità for a quieter evening.
Day 3 The Spanish Quarter, monumental Naples and the sea
Morning
Via Toledo and the Maradona Mural
Walk along Via Toledo, step into the Spanish Quarter and make your way to the Maradona Mural. Take your time to look at the shops, balconies and narrow streets.
Lunch
Piazza Carità and Nennella
For a lively experience, try Nennella: traditional cooking, a waiting list and an atmosphere where everyone joins in. Alternatively, choose a trattoria in the area.
Afternoon
Plebiscito and the seafront
Walk through the Galleria Umberto I, reach Piazza del Plebiscito and finish between Santa Lucia and the seafront.
Evening
A farewell view
Stay by the sea for sunset or head back towards Toledo. This is the moment to look back on all you've experienced, not to squeeze in one more sight.
