Main stops on the Naples tourist bus route

National Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN)
The best museum in Naples is also one of the oldest and most important in the world. The MANN is an impressive display of artefacts from the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, with stunning rooms such as the Hall of the Sundials, galleries dedicated to Egyptian art and one of the world's most remarkable numismatic collections.
Virgilian Park
This huge park is a marvel of relaxation and nature. Located on the promontory of the Posillipo hill, 150 metres above sea level, its many viewpoints offer breathtaking panoramic views of the city of Naples and its gulf, allowing you to admire the islands of Capri and Ischia, Vesuvius, the Bay of Bacoli and Monte di Procida.
Capodimonte Museum and Royal Park
Located in the former Capodimonte palace, on a hill surrounded by a huge and beautiful labyrinthine garden, it houses the Farnese collection. In Capodimonte, you will see porcelain collections; the Farnese and Bourbon armouries; the Neapolitan Gallery, with 44 rooms that trace the history of the city through various works of art; and a collection of contemporary and 19th-century art.
Piazza del Municipio
The impressive Piazza del Municipio is one of the largest squares in Europe and one of the most important in the city due to its proximity to Naples' main attractions, such as the port, the Maschio Angioino and Via Toledo. It is also home to the city hall, hence its name, Palazzo San Giacomo.
###Catacombs of San Gennaro
These interesting catacombs were underground early Christian burial sites, consecrated to St. Gennaro in the 5th century as the burial place for his remains, which were later transferred to Naples Cathedral. Until the 11th century, the catacombs were the resting place for the remains of the bishops of Naples, although they were heavily looted between the 13th and 18th centuries.
Always use Piazza Municipio as a reference point, where the three routes intersect and you can change from one line to another.
