The Galleria Borbonica tour takes you through a network of underground tunnels beneath Naples, including old cisterns, vintage cars, and World War II relics. This one-hour walking tour follows the Standard route through the Bourbon Tunnel, built in 1853 by Ferdinand II of Bourbon as an escape passage from the Royal Palace. During World War II, the tunnel served as a military hospital and later a judicial storage site. A professional guide speaking English or Italian leads the tour, explaining the history and significance of the underground passages. The main entrance is located at Vico del Grottone 4, near Plebiscito Square, where you descend an eight-ramp staircase about 33 yards deep into the Chiaia district. There is a second entrance at Via Domenico Morelli 40, near the Quick parking crosswalk, recommended for visitors with claustrophobia or walking difficulties. The tour does not include food, drinks, or transportation to and from the attraction. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and bring a sweater due to cooler underground temperatures. Reduced tickets are available for children ages 11 to 13 and seniors over 75, while children under 11 enter for free.
