Create an itinerary including Underground Naples
See the other side (literally) of the city with Underground Naples, offering a chance to tour a place some 40 m (130 ft) below the historic center of Naples. This secret, underground city remains a world apart from what you see above ground--a network of tunnels, Greco-Roman aqueducts, and air raid shelters from World War II. The tour takes you on a journey through history and provides a look at the city's turbulent past, from the ancient until the modern times. Most of the passages you'll see during the evocative tour were originally cut by ancient Greeks, who extracted tufa stone from this site. Part of your excursion will take place by candlelight and will lead through some very narrow passages--keep that in mind if you don't like tight, dark spaces. To visit Underground Naples and get the most from your holiday in Naples, create itinerary details personal to you using our Naples trip itinerary planner.

  • Great tour and very informative. The guide was very friendly and taught us things we never even knew about Naples. There is some steep steps at the end, but you can take your time if you struggle with steps. Remember to buy tickets in advance as they do sell out - you can buy at the entrance or via an app like Get Your Guide. The tickets are very good value for money!
  • Wonderful experience. I did not see it coming, quite challenging if you are claustrophobic but you can skip some parts. Bring a charged phone to go through some areas which are very dark. Appreciated the guide who was enthusiastic and well prepared!
  • This tour was amazing and worth the slight hassle to get tickets in advance. You’ll go deep down below and see cisterns, caverns, ancient Roman ruins, bomb shelter setup, and more. Not for the claustrophobic or those who can’t climb up and down lots of steps!
  • A really interesting look into the old underground areas of naples. There are many ways available to do this. This seem to be the best tour to us, price most reasonable. Day of tour purchase your ticket at the gate and they will assign you a time to enter. A great time to wander around the Spanish District there. Grab a slice. If you brought a flashlight to tour make sure you bring it with you, there are some very tight spaces there so if you have issues with that don't take second leg of the tour deeper under
  • Sena was a great tour guide. She had very good knowledge and was able to answer all of our questions perfectly. Her speech was clear as you could ask for and she was passionate about Napoli's history. The underground tour is certainly interesting. But I would suggest getting a ticket before hand on their website so you avoid the queues.
