Naples Exploring Above and Beyond

See Naples’ architectural landmarks and largest, most popular piazza before heading underground to explore a tunnel conceived as a royal escape route.

After walking from the pier, you will soon arrive at the imposing Castle Nuovo. While parts of it date to the 13th century, it is still known as the new castle to distinguish it from the famed Egg Castle, which began as a 1st-century Roman villa. Castle Nuovo’s five towers make it one of Naples’ most recognizable landmarks.

Then, it’s on to Piazza Plebiscito, the city’s largest and most vibrant pedestrian square. Four Bourbon royal residences overlook the piazza, including pink-hued Palazzo Reale, which now holds a 30-room museum. During free time, you might wander about piazza, browse the shops or simply relax while taking in the scenery.

As memorable as the sights are above the ground, Naples also features a stunning attraction below the surface—the Bourbon Tunnel. Begun in 1853 as an escape route for royalty, the cavernous tunnel was never finished and became part of an aqueduct system. As you will discover while in the depths of the tunnel, it was also used as an air raid shelter during World War II.

Returning to the surface, you will catch sight of the seaside Egg Castle while walking to a popular restaurant for light lunch. It’s only natural that Pizza Margherita will be served, as it was supposedly invented in Naples to honor the visiting Queen Margherita of Savoy. After dining, you will return to the pier.
