Naples from Above: Castel Sant’Elmo Access & Audio Guide

Overview

Climb to Naples' best viewpoint and step inside a 13th-century fortress carved from volcanic rock. Your ticket includes entry to Castel Sant'Elmo, a self-guided audio tour, a digital map, and access to the Museo del Novecento's celebrated collection of Neapolitan art. Built in the 1200s, this star-shaped castle once served as a military outpost — its position at the top of the city made it nearly impregnable. Follow your audio guide through the fortress walls and courtyards, and save time for the panoramic terrace, where you'll get uninterrupted views over Naples and Mount Vesuvius. Afterward, head into the Museo del Novecento, housed within the castle, to explore an extensive collection of 20th-century Neapolitan artwork. Your ticket also unlocks a companion sightseeing app, so you can keep exploring Naples with additional self-guided audio tours and walking routes — all from your phone, whenever you're ready for more.
