A famous Neapolitan shopping street close to the Spanish quarters and the Maradona mural, the sacred and profane altar of the Neapolitan football legend. Here you will visit the ancient Galleria Umberto I in Naples, the exterior of Castel Nuovo known as the 'Maschio Angioino', the San Carlo Theatre, the Royal Palace and the iconic Piazza del Plebiscito. The hub of the city as well as a meeting place for nationally renowned events and concerts. </p><p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:#57646f;margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">The tour will end with a fascinating visit to the "Bourbon tunnel", one of the last underground Naples to be brought to light. An underground tunnel commissioned in 1853 by Ferdinand II of Bourbon to connect the Royal Palace with the sea. The work, in the public interest, had many difficulties in being completed, as its route crossed the cisterns of the ancient aqueducts. This is why it remained unfinished and was used by the Neapolitan people as an air-raid shelter during the Second World War. More than 200 years of history and anecdotes intertwine in this unique guided tour.</p><p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:#57646f;margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em"><br /></p>
