Museums · NAPLES
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 museum tours in Naples worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you book.
Visit Naples’ MANN for one day with a priority entrance ticket and downloadable smartphone guide. See Farnese sculptures, Pompeii and Herculaneum frescoes, mosaics, Egyptian objects, and the Secret Cabinet at your own pace. Bring earphones, a charged phone, and download everything before arrival.
Use the ITGUIDES app for a three-hour, self-guided visit to Naples National Archaeological Museum. In English, Italian, French, German, or Spanish, you get audio, photos, descriptions, and a map covering 85 important works. Buy the museum ticket separately and download everything before arrival.
“Really complete. I had been 2 years ago and had taken the audio guide from the ticket office, but it was really bad, boring and with little information, so I looked for a different product. This one is completely better, it has at least double the audio of the one in the ticket office, it is organized following the various collections and it is very up to date. It also has the recently opened part of Campania Romana. My advice to make the most of it is to buy it at least the day before the visit and start studying the museum because it is huge.”
Visit Naples’ Capodimonte Museum with a prebooked, timed admission ticket. Set inside a former royal residence and broad park, the museum holds major Italian paintings, though Caravaggio’s Flagellation of Christ may be on loan. Allow about 90 minutes, and bring your printed voucher.
“nice museum, however getting there was not at all pleasant, dirty noisy streets. tickets were way too expensive”
Meet your Italian- or English-speaking guide at Sant’Aspreno ai Crociferi for a 25-minute visit to JAGO MUSEUM. See Jago’s Pietà and Aiace and Cassandra inside a Baroque church, then use your ticket for free entry to nearby San Severo Basilica and Veiled Son.
“Visita incrível! Obras maravilhosas. Belo trabalho de ressocialização em um bairro que pode entregar tanto! Grazie!”
