To make your journey seamless and unforgettable, we've crafted an itinerary that balances iconic sights with local experiences, all while based at the serene and perfectly locatedQuartino Napoletano.
Day 1: Historic Heart & Pizza Perfection
Morning: Start your Neapolitan adventure by settling into your elegant room at Quartino Napoletano. Located just a 5-minute walk from Napoli Centrale station, dropping off your bags is a breeze. Once you're refreshed, it's time to dive into the Centro Storico (Historic Center), a UNESCO World Heritage site right on your doorstep.
Your first stop is Spaccanapoli, the ancient street that splits the old city in two. Wander its narrow alleys, marvel at the baroque churches, and soak in the electric atmosphere.
Afternoon: After a morning of exploration, it's time for the main event: pizza. You're in the birthplace of pizza, and a visit to L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele, one of the oldest and most famous pizzerias, is a must. Be prepared to queue – it's worth it!
Evening: Take a leisurely stroll back towards Quartino Napoletano, perhaps stopping at the Duomo di Napoli to see the Chapel of the Treasury of St. Januarius. For dinner, ask our staff for a recommendation for a traditional trattoria nearby where you can enjoy classic Neapolitan pasta dishes.
Day 2: Art, Views, and Underground Wonders
Morning: After enjoying a delicious complimentary breakfast at Quartino Napoletano, featuring fresh Neapolitan pastries, you're ready for a day of art and history. Take the metro to the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, which houses one of the world's most important collections of Greek and Roman antiquities, many excavated from Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Afternoon: Next, head to the Cappella Sansevero to witness the breathtaking Veiled Christ, a marble sculpture of incredible detail and artistry. It's a small chapel with a huge impact. From there, explore the nearby San Gregorio Armeno, the famous street of nativity scene makers.
Evening: As sunset approaches, take the funicular up to the Vomero district for panoramic views of the city and the Bay of Naples from Castel Sant'Elmo. It's a stunning way to see the city from above. For dinner, Vomero offers plenty of chic restaurants before you head back to the comfort of Quartino Napoletano.
Day 3: A Journey to the Past
Morning: No trip to Naples is complete without visiting the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Thanks to Quartino Napoletano's strategic location near the train station, getting there is simple. The Circumvesuviana train will take you directly to the Pompeii Scavi stop.
Allow at least 3-4 hours to explore the vast archaeological site. Walk through ancient villas, see the Roman Forum, and imagine life in this once-thriving city.
Afternoon: Return to Naples in the late afternoon. For your final evening, indulge in some last-minute souvenir shopping on Via Toledo, one of the city's main shopping streets.
Evening: Enjoy one last, spectacular Neapolitan meal. Celebrate the end of your trip with a seafood dinner by the sea at Borgo Marinari, near the Castel dell'Ovo. It's the perfect farewell to this incredible city before you head back for a final, restful night at Quartino Napoletano.
