Follow Naples’ waterfront and royal quarter where castles guard the harbor and palaces rise beside the opera. Along the way, your virtual tour guides connect Angevin, Aragonese, Spanish, and Bourbon chapters to what you see underfoot—why gates face the sea, how courtyards staged power, and where promenades turned into the city’s living room. Start anywhere, walk at your own pace, and come away with the stories behind the skyline—one of the smartest ways to see the sights of Naples.
