In Naples

The Cimitero delle Fontanelle comprises natural caves, tufa mines and ancient Greek and Roman tunnels. They were used to hold the bodies of thousands of Neapolitans who died in the Naples Plague of 1656 – burial space had run out in churchyards around the city. In the centuries since, a cult has developed around these towering piles of skulls, with rosaries, candles, gifts and special requests dotted among the remains, acting as secret prayers for favours, health and even lottery wins.

The characteristic that distinguishes our Tour is to show the beauties of our land in a different and better perspective. What makes it unique is the possibility of visiting places that would be impossible to enjoy by car; then rely on our experienced two-wheeled rider riders, who will take you safely on an unforgettable day.

Need a break from all that sightseeing? Relax in the Neapolitan sun, and gaze out over the gorgeous Bay of Naples from the Parco Virgiliano. The islands of Ischia and Capri are also visible in the distance, creating a perfect backdrop for running, walking and cycling (hire e-bikes for an easier activity). For an idyllic evening, look out for the outdoor concerts that the park hosts during summer.

Medieval meets modern at the Donnaregina Contemporary Art Museum, housed in a restored, 19th-century palazzo. Explore the historic building while taking in art from the past 100 years. Permanent collections display the likes of Franz West, Anish Kapoor and Marina Abramović. There’s a strong focus on recent local art movements, and the museum also hosts some high-profile exhibitions.

If you’re looking to scratch that spooky, underground itch while evading the hordes of tourists, the Bourbon Tunnel is for you. Built as a secret escape route for the city’s royal family in 1853, the tunnel connects the Royal Palace to the Piazza Vittoria. After being used as an air-raid shelter during World War II, it became a dumping ground for all sorts of debris, from fascist statues to lines of vintage cars and scooters, all untouched since the 1970s. It’s atmospheric and fascinating in equal measure, and a guided tour is a must.

There’s so much to experience in this bustling southern Italy city, whether that’s browsing contemporary art, exploring underground tunnels, heading out to sea in a kayak or settling in to watch an opera. And that’s without even getting started on the pizza. Here, we’ve picked out the top attractions and things to do in Naples, Italy.
