Your driver will pick you up at the meeting point previously arranged with our staff.
You will start this unforgettable tour from the Saint Gennaro Cathedral. It is situated in the center of the historical part of the city. It’s the seat of the archbishop and it protects the relics of Saint Januarius. Every year on the 19th of September Neapolitans wait for the miracle of the liquefaction of his blood. The neo-gothic facade is stunning and you can admire some original masterpiece of the Middle Age.
You can’t miss the Crypta or the Chapel of Carafa situated under the altar of the Cathedral. It is a bright area with a white marble and terracotta amphora with the bones of the Saint. The tour continues with the visit of Santa Chiara. The Santa Chiara museum complex includes the famous maiolica-tailed cloister with its frescoes, the museum and the eighteenth century artistic crib. The complex was opened in 1995 in various spaces previously used by the Poor Clares for handwork activities. Finally you will walk until the real heart of the old Naples.
You will have the chance to visit the Cappella Sansevero. This museum is a real jewel in the world’s art heritage. Cappella Sansevero is one of the extraordinary monuments in the world and it houses the celebrated veiled Christ, an image known the world over an account of the marvelous texture of the marble veil. After this great visit you can stop in one of the traditional pizzeria and taste this great specialty.
In the early afternoon your trip continues with the visit of the Archeological Museum. This is one of the most important museums in the world for classical archeology. In 1777 King Ferdinand IV had the project to create a magnificent institute for the art so this place started to be enriched with important collections such as the Borgia Collection formed in Naples by Carolina Murat.
After this amazing visit you will meet your driver and you will relax in one of our luxury car.
