With a rich history, Naples is a treasure trove of subterranean ruins, ancient architecture, and often surprising modern influences. With four hours and a local host, you’ll see a little bit of everything. You could explore the streets of Centro Storico (a lively hub of famous attractions and typical street food), browse fresh produce and cheap clothes at the popular market on Pignasecca Square, or view a famous street mural by local artist Jorit. Or maybe you’re interested in the darker sides of the city at the Purgatorio ad Arco – a church decorated with eerie winged skulls – or Fontanelle cemetery inside an old cave, where the spirit of Naples is perfectly encapsulated by the overlapping contradiction of religion and superstition.

In the heart of Naples, you could explore the outskirts of the small, historic district of Santa Lucia on the Bay of Naples, with the backdrop of sparkling waters, the island of Capri and Mount Vesuvius, or walk down Toledo street – a perfect representation of modern Naples’ city life – just outside the picturesque Spanish Quarter, stopping off in one of Europe’s most famous (and beautiful) metro stations along the way. Maybe you’ll head deeper into the city two miles north to densely populated Rione Sanità’s tiny street markets and creepy catacombs, or let your host point out Materdei’s famous pizzeria just a short walk away. Of course, no experience in Naples would be complete without an espresso, a gelato, or a Pizza a Portafoglio (folded pizza), and your local insider will tip you off on the very best place to get it.
