Things to do in Naples, Campania: The Best Specialty Museums

October 7, 2021 Jana Sager

Romantic Naples, two hours south of Rome, is the largest city in southern Italy. It has some of the world's best opera and theater houses and is often called an open-air museum, due to its many historic statues and monuments. Join families on promenade as the sun sets on the Bay of Naples. View finds from Pompeii and Herculaneum, destroyed by Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D., at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale or revel in the art and architecture of Museo Cappella Sansevero, built in the late 1500s.

Museo del Corallo Ascione

By appoinment. CLOSED FOR MAINTENANCE UNTIL 2 SETTEMBER 2019 The coral and cameos jewellery museum Ascione is in Naples inside the Galleria Umberto I building, opposite the opera-Teatro di San Carlo and near the Royal Palace of Naples. Here you can visit a museum founded as a tribute to the past generations engaged in this successful activity by Ascione Family. It also includes a didactic and an artistic sections, displaying not only hundreds of jewels as witnesses of red coral and Cameo manufacture from 1805 to 1950, but also ancient documents, tools, machinery and pictures to revive and to go on along a journey started 150 years ago.

LAES - La Napoli Sotterranea

Naples Underground - The tour in the ancient neapolitan aqueduct. A city below the city.

Reviewed By sanclementecrema - Crema, Italy

We took the Italian tour with Gianluca this morning. Aside from being an absolutely amazing tour of underground Napoli, Gianluca provided so many interesting anecdotes behind the historical aspect of the tunnels. LAES is made up entirely of dedicated volunteers who are working to preserve an important historical part of Napoli. The volenteers are slowly clearing out all the debris that filled the cisterns after world war 2 an incredibly tedious job. Chapeau to all of the volunteers, without you and your dedication the world would be a less interesting place. Highly recommend this tour as all proceeds go to continuing the work started 35 years ago.
