Rione Sanità

Go underground, then stay for the neighborhood

The catacombs are the anchor. The visit becomes a real half-day when you continue through Sanità instead of leaving immediately.

Why it is worth doing

The site opens a deep layer of Naples, while the neighborhood above adds markets, courtyards, bakeries and present-day community life.

How to plan it

  1. 01

    Book or check current admission details on the official site.

  2. 02

    Allow time to arrive uphill without rushing.

  3. 03

    After the visit, walk down through Rione Sanità.

  4. 04

    Continue toward Porta San Gennaro or Piazza Cavour instead of taking the fastest exit.

Local tips

  • The underground environment is cooler than the street.
  • Respect active neighborhood life and ask before photographing people.
  • The route works best as a slow descent after the visit.
