Top Attractions in Naples
Make travel plans, and Naples laughs. The southern Italian capital is among Europe’s most charismatic and unruly cities—with so many things to see (and taste), from millennia-old catacombs and baroque art to awe-inspiring street food and UNESCO-listed archaeological sites, you might not know where to start. Thankfully, Naples tours can help you navigate the rowdy streets, uncover hidden gems in a city bursting with them, and reach out-of-town treasures like the Amalfi Coast, Capri, and Pompeii. Food tours and cooking classes ensure you get well-acquainted with the top attraction: the authentic homegrown Neapolitan pizza.

Per one customer who booked the Authentic Pizza Making Class in Naples with Appetizers and Drink, “Mamma mia, what a fun night out! If you’re in Naples, you have to do this. It’s a unique experience, and Anthony was a gem! We learned the entire process of dough, ate bruschetta and zeppole, had a drink, chatted with two couples from around the world, and shared a Neapolitan evening over pizza we kneaded and decorated ourselves.”
Group sightseeing tours in Naples—including walking tours, bike tours and food-focused tours—typically cost US$50 per person. Expect to pay more for private experiences or guided day excursions to places like Pompeii and Positano, which cost closer to US$150 per participant.
Lower-cost tours include experiences such as The Skull with the Ears: the Cult of the Dead in the Church of S. Luciella for US$9 per person. You’ll get a guided tour of the Church of Santa Luciella ai Librai, though the experience is quick at just 15 minutes and doesn’t include admission to other sights. More expensive options include the Private Guided Tour Of Naples Historic Center & Pompeii (from around US$1,300 per group of up to seven). The fee covers guided tours of Naples’ top attractions in addition to the Pompeii Archaeological Site, with private transportation included.
Depending on the type of tour you choose, you may walk or bike to Naples’ most famous churches, castles, and piazzas while sampling local food specialties, or perhaps you’ll go underground to explore centuries-old aqueducts and catacombs. On a day tour, you can go back in time to the ancient ruins of Pompeii or boat between picturesque villages on the Amalfi Coast.
To maximize your time in Naples, consider booking an all-day or multi-day tour that shows you as many nearby attractions as possible. For example, the 4-Day Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, & Positano - Small Group Tour takes you to taste pizza in Naples, ride a boat up to the Blue Grotto in Capri, relax on the Marina Piccola beach in Sorrento, explore the ruins of Pompeii, and more.
Two full days should give you enough time to explore the center of Naples, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with more than 2,000 years of history, without rushing. Aim to tour a couple of key attractions, like the Sansevero Chapel and Catacombs of San Gennaro, per day, then leave yourself some leisure time for pizza meals and strolls through the Spanish Quarter and along the sea.
April is the best month to visit Naples. Mid-spring’s mild, sunny weather makes walking, biking, and sometimes even swimming in the Bay of Naples a delight, and you’ll be able to experience key cultural and historical sites before the summer crowds arrive.
