Overview
Naples may be famous for pizza, Mount Vesuvius and its lively street life, but it also has a hidden side steeped in superstition, tradition and belief. On this tour, you’ll uncover the city’s folklore and colorful characters that bring Neapolitan culture to life. Begin in Piazza Bellini, where Greek ruins sit in the heart of the modern city. Stroll Via dei Tribunali, hearing tales of rituals and old superstitions, before visiting the Sansevero Chapel. Commissioned in the 18th century by Prince Raimondo di Sangro, it houses Giuseppe Sammartino’s Veiled Christ, a marble sculpture admired the world over. Next, wander Via San Gregorio Armeno with its artisan nativity workshops, then back on Via dei Tribunali rub the nose of Pulcinella for luck, spot a Banksy mural and soak up the street food scene. Along Spaccanapoli, pause at Bar Maradona, before reaching the Church of Gesù Nuovo. Finally, at the Duomo, learn about San Gennaro, Naples’ patron saint, and his miraculous treasures.
