This chaotic, beautiful port city captivates with its UNESCO-listed historic center, proximity to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast, and an irresistible street culture. A Hop-on Hop-off bus tour cuts through the complexity, giving you a stress-free way to hit up all the highlights without getting lost in the maze of narrow streets. With flexible routes, multilingual audio commentary, and the freedom to explore at your own rhythm, it's perfect for soaking up Naples' essence while keeping things effortlessly organized and manageable.

Discovering Naples with City Sightseeing Hop-on Hop-off Tours

City Sightseeing Naples sweeps you through the beating heart of southern Italy's most spirited destination with two carefully crafted routes that balance culture, coastline, and convenience. Line A whisks you past the Naples National Archaeological Museum, the Capodimonte Museum's Caravaggio collection, and the atmospheric Sanità district with its street art and underground catacombs. On the other hand, Line B hugs the coastline through Mergellina's gelato-lined waterfront, climbs to Posillipo's panoramic heights at Parco Virgiliano, and loops back past the luxurious villas of Via Petrarca.

Tips to make the best of your Hop-on Hop-off Naples tour

Book your tickets online before you arrive because you'll often score a discount and skip the queue at the bus station near the cruise port.

Start your day as early as possible, ideally catching the first bus at 9:30am, so you can beat the crowds and maximize your 24-hour ticket window.

Download the City Sightseeing mobile app before you start because it has live bus tracking, a detailed map, and helps you plan which stops to hit first.

Tackle Line A first for museums and cultural sites in the morning when they're less crowded, then switch to Line B for coastal views in the afternoon light.

Watch your belongings closely while riding and at stops because Naples has a reputation for pickpockets, especially around tourist hotspots.

Be aware that the red Line A route circles the outside of the historic center, so you'll still need to walk into the narrow streets where most attractions actually are.

Pack a light jacket even in summer because the open top deck can get breezy, especially on the coastal Line B route heading out to Posillipo.

Double-check which route stops near your hotel or cruise port using the downloadable PDF map on the City Sightseeing website before you leave.

Use the Hop-on Hop-off tour to complement walking in the city because the real magic happens in those chaotic alleys and hidden piazzas you can only explore on foot.

We had very little wait at the tourist office having booked early and were able to walk straight into the park. I advise the audio rather than the guide book - it wasn't well translated at times and missed some interesting points of interest. Makes a nice souvenir though.

Well organized archaeological site and thanks to the map given to us at the entrance, we were able to visit it independently. Recommended experience!

Excellent service! We visited the major attractions in Naples using the panoramic bus. A single ticket for two lines with a total of 20 stops. You can get off at any stop and then get back on the bus (approximately every 30 minutes). Tour with audio guide.

Molto soddisfatta! Unimmersione a ritroso di 2 mila anni, tante curiosità storiche ed i calchi impressionanti, fanno davvero capire la disperazione in quei momenti... una guida molto competente e gentile, Ida, la consiglio vivamente! Grazie di questa indimenticabile esperienza!

Arianna

Beautiful...! The guide not at all boring and companionable, tried to get adults and children to interact. He explained the most important and curious things about each room, we visited 80 of them.Since we took the tour in the afternoon, we didn't have time to visit both the garden and the rooms, he still let us face the garden and explained the most important things and gave a few minutes to take some shots..! Without the guide, I would not have discovered coi interesting things!!!

My wife and I started the New Year by treating ourselves to this tour mainly to visit the San Severo Chapel, then, the tour around the historic center of Naples with Bruno's guidance, made it truly memorable; because Bruno, as an educated man who loves what he does, does not just explain what is being visited, he also enriches the topic with his own research and personal studies on the subject involving the whole group of 30 people that we were. The great thing was that, at the conclusion of the tour, he accompanied my wife and I all the way to the vicinity of our hotel continuing to tell and explain more interesting information and stories about beautiful Naples. At the end we said goodbye like old friends. Thank you! Bruno.
