Naples is an ancient city, built on top of dozens of previous versions of itself. When you visit Naples Underground (Napoli Sotterranea) you’ll get to peel back time and dive deep into the history of the city, visiting Roman aqueducts, and the tunnels which were used as air raid shelter during World War II. You’ll also take a tour of the remains of the ‘lost’ theater of Nero. Discover a different side of Naples when you take a tour of Naples Underground!

4 tips for visiting the Naples Underground

Wear comfortable shoes and bring a sweater, even in summer, because it can be very cold underground.

Most of the tunnels the tour uses are very broad, but there’s a short section which is quite narrow. If you’re claustrophobic you can skip it, just let the guides know when you reach that part of the tour.
3
During the narrow-walled section of the tour, you’ll be asked if you want to use candles to light your way. It adds something to the atmosphere, but if you’d rather avoid open flames then bring a torch or use a phone torch.
4
Bathrooms are available at the entrance, make sure to use them (or ensure your children do) because there’ll be no chance to stop and go back during the 90-minute tour.

Read more.Is Naples Underground suitable for children?
Yes! Apart from being underground and sometimes a bit dark, there’s nothing in the tour that is particularly unsuitable for children. Depending on the child, you might want to skip the section through the narrow candle-lit tunnel or make sure you have a phone or torch on-hand. It isn’t possible to take a stroller into the tunnels, but babies can be brought in a carrier and there are handrails on the stairs for balance.

tickets
Skip-the-line booking for the English-language excursion is offered for adults, students aged 11–24, children aged 5–10, and groups of 10, 15, or 30; this option costs extra on top of regular admission. Alternatively, you can queue at the entrance without a reservation. Online purchases are non-refundable and cannot be changed, and the excursion includes the Roman Theater at no extra charge. Because the site is privately run, statutory free admission for visitors with disabilities at state museums and archaeological sites does not automatically apply. Visitors with disabilities should present a European Disability Card and contact the venue before booking; companions are not entitled to free or reduced admission.
accessibility
There are no escalators or elevators, and visitors will need to descend 121 steps to get to the underground level. Therefore the tours are not suitable for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility.
