WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Naples
The best of dowtown in Naples
2. Piazza del Gesu Nuovo
The meeting point is the tourist information office in front of the Entrance of Church of Gesù Nuovo. In “Piazza del Gesù” there’s a plaque put up by the Unesco to mark the fact that the historical center of Naples is included in the World Heritage sites list and is considered as one of the most ancient and richest historical centers in Europe.
3. Chiesa di Santa Chiara
Visit the Church of the monastery of Saint Chiara dating back the 14th century. It was made in Gothic style but during the 18th century decorated in a Baroque style that gives the church its look of opulence and splendor
4. Gesu Nuovo Church
Visit one of the most beautiful Church in Naples dated to XVI century
5. Spaccanapoli
In the center of the city there is a famous old street called “Spaccanapoli”, a long and narrow street that divides the old Naples in two perfect halfs. It consists of many shops, restaurants and typical alleys.
6.
Visit the famous Santa Chiara Cloister with the celebrated majolica artwork. On Sunday afternoon, the cloister is closed, so you can book the option including only the entrance to Sansevero Chapel
7. Basilica di San Lorenzo Maggiore
Have a look to Piazza St. Gaetano, the oldest square of the city. “Agorà” was situated here in Greek times. In Roman times this place was taken by a forum. Around it are located two magnificent monumental churches of Naples: San Lorenzo and San Paolo Maggiore.
8. Piazza San Domenico Maggiore
Further down the "Spaccanapoli" street we will see San Domenico Maggiore square, with its Church, where a perfect overlapping of different architectural styles will certainly amaze you.
9. Museo Cappella Sansevero
During the tour customers will be impressed by the absolute pearl of Naples, famous Chapel San Severo featuring the statue “Cristo Velato” by Giuseppe Sanmartino. This marble statue is a masterpiece of the 18th century representing dead Christ covered by a veil. Legend has it that an alchemist taught the sculptor how to convert real veil into a marble veil.
10. Via dei Tribunali
It was the main decumanus or Decumanus Maggiore of the ancient Greek and then Roman city of Neapolis.
11. Statua del Dio Nilo
Walking in Spaccanapoli you will see the famous Statue of the God of Nile river is an Ancient Roman, likely Hellenistic, marble statue dating from the 2nd to 3rd century A.C. Have a small break enjoing a typical neapolitan coffee in one of the famous bar of the old city centre.
12. Via San Gregorio Armeno
Proceed along the little side street called “San Gregorio Armeno”. It is today one of the most famous streets of the city, visited by people from every part of the world for its unique nativity scene workshops.
13. Duomo di Napoli
The baroque cathedral of Saint Gennaro dating back to the 13th century is at the heart of the Neapolitan faith. Here the blood of the saint patron St. Gennaro is preserved. It becomes liquid during the so-called “Miracle of St. Gennaro”. This explains why all citizens show deep devotion towards this church.

The Veiled Christ by Giuseppe Sanmartino is one of the most famous and evocative sculptures in the world. It is located in the heart of the Sansevero Chapel in Naples. A life-size carved marble statue, representing our dead Lord Jesus Christ, covered by a transparent shroud made from the same block as the statue. It is one of the most evocative works in the world. By carefully observing the sculpture placed in the center of the chapel's nave, you can clearly see the swollen vein that seems to throb on the forehead, the nail piercings on the feet and hands, the embroidery on the edges of the shroud. The meticulous details and the care with which the artist has embellished the wonderful work truly leave you breathless and emotional. Highly recommended!

A trained and very helpful guide, an excessively large group of 20 people in the middle of the crowd in the streets of the historic center. We with two children spent 2:30 hours trying to avoid losing them. price 75 euros each including children to see 3 statues and some excessive majolica. The ticket to Cristo costs 10 euros and Santa Clara 5. I would say that another 10 for the guide, given the large group, would have been appropriate. The problem is purchasing the tickets for the Veiled Christ which were already sold out 2 months before. Touting...?
