What to visit
Piazza del Plebiscito
It is the symbol of the Neapolitan city, home to very important concerts and a meeting place for the Neapolitans. A real must for tourists planning a stay in the Campania capital. Some of the most important buildings in Naples are "set" within the 25,000 square meters that surround the area: the classic colonnade of the church of San Francesco di Paola and the Royal Palace, which can be visited in all its splendor .

Stazione Metropolitana Toledo
Only in Naples the metro stops can become real artistic galleries that are the prerogative of everyone: simply take the metro! The most beautiful station in Europe, Toledo, is considered by international press and tourists as the evocative Relative Light installation by Robert Wilson. It is a work whose charm revolves around a simple principle, but far from obvious: plays of light on shades of blue and blue to feel, even underground, part of the sky.

Spaccanapoli
It is the soul of the city and representation of the real life of the Neapolitans. The district takes its characteristic name from the road that, from the Spanish Quarters to Forcella, literally cuts the area in half for about 2 km. In Spaccanapoli there are centuries-old buildings, monuments of the highest historical significance, all the perfumes and liveliness of the Neapolitans. Immerse yourself totally in a "slice" of Neapolitan life.

Santa Chiara
Who has never heard a famous Neapolitan song dedicated to the Monastery of Santa Chiara? The important religious building is the backbone of a larger monumental complex dedicated to the Saint. The Gothic basilica is in fact composed of 4 monumental cloisters, surrounded by 66 pillars with as many arches and embellished with beautiful yellow majolica, an emblem of the Neapolitan sun.

Napoli Sotterranea
It is definitely not an attraction for everyone: tour in the "bowels" of the city structured through tunnels, tunnels, cisterns, where the poor lighting and the mystery are the masters. For the most curious and daring, however, it can be a decidedly out of the ordinary experience. The Neapolitan "subsoil", in fact, gives us the beauty of underground gardens, Museo della Guerra, Nero's Roman Theater. The Bourbon Gallery, built in 1853, is also located in the underground, inside which there is a real, involuntary collection of vintage vehicles.
