Naples is a city with many faces. It’s not only about narrow alleys, clotheslines, street music, bustling sounds, and overlapping aromas. The residential district of Chiaia, with its elegant waterfront promenade, offers a completely different experience.
Developed in the 1500s, Chiaia has long been the most refined and upscale neighborhood in the city. A local expert will guide you through its rich history and show you the stunning 18th-century palaces and elegant Art Nouveau architecture.
You’ll stroll along the iconic Via dei Mille, a street known for high-end shopping, and discover charming artisan workshops that seem frozen in time. Your walk continues along the Naples seafront, through the Villa Comunale—a royal public park commissioned by the Bourbon dynasty, the last to rule the Kingdom of Naples.
The tour culminates at the striking Castel dell’Ovo, the oldest castle in the city, followed by a scenic elevator ride to Monte Echia, a hill offering a breathtaking panoramic view of Mount Vesuvius and the legendary Bay of the Sirens.
The tour includes:
-
Licensed tour leader
-
Round-trip elevator ride tickets to the panoramic viewpoint
On request, the tour can be enhanced with a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in the Chiaia district, including seafood options. Choices range from cozy, traditional osterie to more refined and innovative gourmet restaurants. Contact us to customize your experience!
