Behind Rome and Milan, Naples is the third largest city in Italy. A huge megapolis with a compact historical core famous for its popular and colorful neighborhoods, stunning churches, quaint squares and inviting pizza parlors. In order to navigate this epic tourist destination safely, we recommend booking several Free Walking Tours in Naples. These are some of the better rated by travelers! The Essential Naples City Tour is a 2–3-hour easy introduction to the historical city center and the history of Naples. There are also many entertaining Free Tours around the Spanish Quarters, where visitors explore a famous local area in the heart of the city. Along this tour, guests get to see Baroque monuments, discover amazing street art/graffiti, and find interesting local artisan shops. Of course, many tourists join Free Food Tours to dive into the most authentic flavors of Napolitan cuisine. Most tours visit traditional fresh markets, such as Montesanto.

With Free Tours in Naples, tourists get to experience the best monuments in the city through the eyes of a local. Naples National Archaeological Museum is the place where most travelers start their exploration of this ancient city, which has been a hub of human activity from Neolithic times to the Roman Empire and further. After this, Castel Nuovo is a must-see destination, although most tourists are partial to the dramatic seafront Ovo Castle (don’t forget to ask your guide about the mysterious origin of the castle’s name in a medieval legend!). In the outskirts of the city, travelers will find the Palace of Capodimonte, a grand mansion home to an impressive art museum. Other top-rated landmarks on a Naples Free Walking Tour are the Royal Palace, San Carlo Theatre, the bustling Plebiscito Square, the Cappella Sansevero, the amazing medieval Castel Sant'Elmo and the Catacombs of San Gennaro, a paleo-Christian underground burial place.

There are so many interesting activities and experiences in Naples! Outdoor sport lovers will love exploring the superb natural environment around the city. You can take a bus tour from Naples to hike up the breathtaking Mount Vesuvius. You will only need 30 minutes to climb to the top of the famous volcano that famously caused the destruction of Pompeii in 79 AD. After this, of course, a visit to the nearby Pompeii and Herculaneum Archaeological Parks is an absolute must. In the old town, to the west of the Plebiscito Square, tourists can find the district of Santa Lucia. It’s a charming area with traditional houses and cobbled narrow streets offering incredible photo opportunities. You can try delicious pizza in many stores, but we recommend joining a pizza or pasta-making class for a more meaningful experience. Ice cream and tiny rum baba cakes are also delicious typical treats travelers can’t miss.
