Begin your adventure in Piazza Municipio, one of Naples' liveliest and most central squares, dominated by the impressive Maschio Angioino and just a short stroll from the bustling port.

We then immerse ourselves in authentic Neapolitan life at the legendary Pignasecca Market, a colorful and fragrant hub where fresh produce, seafood, and the irresistible aroma of street food capture the city's true character. Along the way, you will enjoy a true taste of Naples, including pizza a portafoglio, a classic street-food pizza folded into quarters for easy on-the-go enjoyment, and frittatina di pasta, a beloved snack made with pasta, bechamel, cheese, and meat, breaded and fried to golden perfection. You can refresh with a drink, with the option of trying the traditional limonata "a cosce aperte", and savor sfogliatella, Naples' iconic pastry, accompanied by authentic Neapolitan coffee served the traditional way.
