Tour description
Discover Naples from above with a panoramic walking tour of about 2 hours, combining a historic funicular ride, breathtaking views, and hidden viewpoints known only to locals.
The experience begins with a ride on a historic funicular to the Vomero, one of Naples’ most elegant and panoramic neighborhoods. As we ascend, your local guide will share stories and insights while you enjoy spectacular views over the Gulf of Naples, Mount Vesuvius, the coastline, and the islands.
We then continue on foot along the iconic Petraio stairway, a unique path suspended between sky and city, offering stunning views over Naples’ historic center framed by Mount Vesuvius. This peaceful route reveals a quieter, more authentic side of the city and offers unforgettable photo opportunities.
The final part of the tour takes us along Corso Vittorio Emanuele, another extraordinary panoramic point where you can truly understand Naples’ geography, history, and character from above.

Petraio
Petraio is an area of Naples which takes its name from the homonym village (Gradini del Petraio, "Petraio steps" on Vomero hill. The word Petraio does not derivate from the name of the stone quarry, bur from from a place where flood rains deposit pebbles, the layout of the uphill way follows the route of one of the many alluvial riverbeds of Vomero, where a village was subsequently built, which over the years has become a place for wealthy families.
