What you'll do

In Naples, a city known for its ancient history, spectacular cuisine and, of course, the iconic Mount Vesuvius, your local host will lead you off the well-trodden tourist trail to the city’s secret network of staircases leading to parts of Naples your guidebook doesn’t even know about. From the hilltop district of Vomero, walk to the top of Petraio stairs – a tranquil staircase leading from Vomero to Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Pass between 19th-century houses overgrown with wild plants, stopping off at a terrace for a stunning view, and see a few of the city’s famous votive altars as you make your way down the stairs and head towards the Santa Maria in Portico, a late-baroque church just off the seaside promenade leading to Egg Castle – the oldest castle in Naples.

Where you’ll go

In the heart of Naples, your local insider will show you the hidden gems in the city’s most beautiful areas. The upscale residential neighborhood of Vomero, perched on a hilltop, is known for its stunning homes, shopping, and refined restaurant scene – but it harbors a secret: one of the most beautiful panoramic views in Naples. Here, a hidden path links two important castles – Sant’Elmo and Egg Castle – and a complex urban system of secret stairs leads from the hills to the sea and the old city. Just 1.5 miles south, the wealthy, elegant waterfront district of Chiaia is a hub of cool boutiques and designer shops, but further from the sea, the district’s old buildings and relatively unknown paths create an entirely different experience.
