Naples Tours and MSC Shore Excursions
The ancient city of Naples is a feast for the senses, as you’ll discover on any number of Naples excursions. Steeped in art and culture, it’s easy to miss some of the most spectacular attractions, so, join one of the many MSC shore excursions when you visit Naples.
The streets in the ancient heart of Naples city centre faithfully follow the original Greek and Roman layout, but today, boutiques and restaurants are squeezed between crumbling palazzi and Baroque churches. On tiny Via San Gregorio Armeno, an array of nativity scenes, known as presepi, mean it’s Christmas year-round. Enjoy spectacular views up in Posillipo or go underground to explore parts of the original Greek Neapolis, complete with tunnels, aqueducts and chambers.
Admire the famous San Carlo theatre and Principe Umberto I’s steel and glass gallery, while nearby Piazza del Plebiscito houses the Royal Palace and the Basilica San Francesco da Paola, offering views across the bay to Vesuvius. There are Caravaggio paintings in venues like Gallerie d’Italia and Museo di Capodimonte, and if that’s not enough, take a boat ride to the island of Capri and sip a limoncello in the piazzetta or simply take a dip in the sea.
No Naples Trip is complete without visiting the archaeological site of Pompeii, an unmissable experience revealing the Roman city before it was buried in ash following the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. Naples tours are easy to book and designed to reveal the best of the city and nearby.
