The historic centre and the Sansevero Chapel are 15 to 20 minutes up Via Toledo, and the waterfront and Castel dell'Ovo ten minutes down from the palace to the sea. The only thing to book ahead is a timed slot for the Sansevero Chapel, as the walk-up queue can be long. Everything else can be decided on the day. Lunch in the historic centre, home to the city's best pizzerias. Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, add something nearby, and the timings update. ## An evening by the sea Towards evening, head down to the sea through Santa Lucia. Castel dell'Ovo stands on its islet, and its ramparts look out over Vesuvius and the bay. Beyond it, the Via Caracciolo waterfront runs to Mergellina harbour, and sunset here is one of the great sights of Naples. Have dinner in Borgo Marinari under the castle walls, or pizza in Mergellina, where the metro takes you back to the centre. ## If you have time left Next to the palace, the [Teatro di San Carlo](https://yesgo.io/italy/naples/teatro-san-carlo) runs daytime tours. With another half day, see the [Archaeological Museum](https://yesgo.io/italy/naples/naples-archaeological-museum) and its Pompeii treasures, then spend the next day at [Pompeii](https://yesgo.io/italy/naples/pompeii) or on [Vesuvius](https://yesgo.io/italy/naples/mount-vesuvius). ## Tips - Book a timed slot for the Sansevero Chapel. - Lunch in the historic centre for the best pizza. - Churches require covered shoulders and knees, and large backpacks are often refused. - Italy uses the euro. Cards and contactless are accepted almost everywhere; carry a little cash for cafés and markets. Buy museum tickets ahead on official sites, where closing days are listed too. - Keep your bag in front of you in crowds. ## Questions ### What can you see in Naples in one day?
