What to expect
Your guide leads you through Naples' oldest quarter, stopping at three locations where you'll put on a VR headset and see the landscape transform—buildings restored, crowds reimagined, streets alive with history. Between virtual stops, you walk ground level, spotting actual medieval stonework, baroque façades, and sacred spaces. The narrative weaves together conquest, devotion, and daily life. It's part archaeology lesson, part ghost walk, part street-level museum. Expect narrow passages, some crowds, and moments of standing still while wearing the headset. The finale is low-key: pastry and pizza eaten standing or sitting nearby, nothing fancy.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have epilepsy, autism, or significant vision impairment. VR headsets require comfort wearing them for short periods. Church of Souls in Purgatory costs €6 extra if you wish to enter. Comfortable shoes essential for cobblestones. Bring water—the alleys offer limited shade.
