What to expect

Napoli Sotterranea is a fascinating underground route that takes visitors through the history of Naples, from ancient Roman ruins and aqueducts to caverns used as bomb shelters during World War II. The tour begins at street level and descends 40 meters below the modern city, where visitors can admire caverns carved into the soft tuff stone and explore the remains of a Greek-Roman theater. The underground city spreads below the entire old town, with a labyrinth of tunnels, tanks, and cavities that form a real city. The tour is family-friendly and suitable for children, with optional routes for those who may want to avoid enclosed spaces. Visitors can also explore the War Museum and see documents and artifacts from the Second World War
