A few steps from Piazza del Municipio are some of the city’s most elegant monuments: starting from one of Napoli’s most famous symbols, the majestic Castel Nuovo, you will reach the exterior of Teatro San Carlo, the oldest opera house in Europe and the world still in operation; continuing along the street you will find yourself in one of Italy’s largest squares, Piazza del Plebiscito, where you can see the Royal Palace, the Royal Pontifical Basilica of San Francesco di Paola, the Prefecture Palace, and the Salerno Palace. Finally, taking Via Toledo, you can admire the 19th-century Galleria Umberto I.
The route includes the following visits:
- Castel Nuovo, a medieval fortress also known as Maschio Angioino since it was built by order of Charles I of Anjou;
- Royal Palace.
Refreshment opportunities along the route.
We also highlight, just a few steps from Piazza del Plebiscito, the opportunity to visit part of the Galleria Borbonica, a fascinating route of Underground Napoli!
