    We chose the Memory Lane your and enjoyed it very much. I don’t think one should skip it when in Naples. Our guide, Martina, was friendly and did a great job in explaining to us about the history of the tunnels that even my youngest daughter aged 4 was captivated by it! Not only that I learnt from the tour, but I like it that it left an impression on my children. We still talk about Galleria Bourbonica until today 😊

    Stunning, absolutely stunning. Naples is not a great city and given what you see outside you do not expect the extraordinary splendour that awaits you on the inside. It was easily as grand as Buckingham Palace and the staircase reminded me of the magnificent Hermitage in St Petersburg. Sadly there are clear signs that the city cannot afford to maintain it so I would say go sooner rather than later. It would be a tragedy if such a wonderful place were allowed to fall into decay but I did wonder how long it will hold out.

    Compulsory stop for those visiting Naples: the museum exhibits a priceless treasure. A journey into the history of Neapolitan art. A must visit.

    Bring a lot of time: this museum is huge! And a phone to help you reading the labels.

    On the second floor there is currently an exhibition linked to Caravaggio. They brought a lot of paintings out of their storage for it.
    On the first floor there is their permanent collection which also includes porcelain, statues, furniture and even whole rooms.
    The third floor was closed. Why? No idea.

    The museum is currently being renovated. I hope they will improve the lighting (a lot of glare on many paintings), the labels (way to small, only in Italian) and the toilets!

    The visit of the Bonelli Collection was a unique experience during my stay in Naples. When we entered the building we were warmly welcomed by Mr Bonelli whose passion and love for Naples and the collection was perceptible from the very beginning. Not only did we learn about the history and interesting events in Naples but we were given the chance to see the city with different eyes. We were the only two visitors at that time so Mr Bonelli gave us a private and detailed tour of the collection. The visit was free. I want to warmly thank Mr Bonelli for the beautiful journey he took us on during our visit.

    We were given a tour round these fascinating ancient tombs - the archaeologists are uncovering the most beautiful frescos and carvings. Highly recommend a tour - take a warm sweater as very cool underground

    We had a wonderful theatralised visit with Munaciello (provided by Tappeto Volante) explaning to us the history of Naples from financial perspective in a fun way. It's exciting to see this place in such a special way.

    Wide variety of artefacts

    Thankfully no immersion or jump scares!

    Graphic perspective of European inquisitions.

    Quite small, took around 20 minutes to see it all
