Soon you’ll be in Naples: get ready to explore the city from a unique perspective, traveling vertically from the top of Vomero hill down to the beating heart of its historic centre. This is an easy and captivating urban trek, suitable for all ages, designed for those who love to walk and marvel step by step.
The journey begins at the very top of the city, on the beautiful terrace of Piazzale San Martino. Here, with the purchase of an entrance ticket to Certosa di San Martino or Castel Sant’Elmo (highly recommended), you can wander through enchanting gardens or reach Naples’s highest viewpoint with a full 360° panorama of sky and sea.
From there, descend the ancient Pedamentina steps, 414 stone steps immersed in silence, history, and one of the most stunning views of Vesuvius. Along the way, you’ll pass centuries‑old houses, secret corners, and hidden gems that reveal Naples’s true soul. You’ll traverse the neighbourhood loved by Baudelaire and Yourcenar, where music and dance still resonate in the home of Mr. Pasquale Nocerino, violinist, and his wife Giovanna, dancer.
Step by step, the city will unfold before you in all its energy: you'll walk through the lively and colourful Pignasecca Market, then enter the Europe’s largest UNESCO World Heritage Historic Centre. Stroll along Spaccanapoli, amid artisan shops, scents, sounds, and stories of old. You’ll visit the Church of Gesù Nuovo with its enigmatic alchemical symbols, and the elegant Church of Santa Chiara.
To conclude on a sweet note, enjoy a true Neapolitan espresso at a classic café, served with a fragrant sfogliatella or a soft, aromatic babà.
A walking experience through sky, history, and flavors, a slow, deep, and authentic way to discover Naples. We can't wait to see you!
