Via Toledo
One of the most symbolic streets of the downtown in Naples City.
Basilica di San Lorenzo Maggiore
San Lorenzo Maggiore is a church in Naples, Italy. It is located at the precise geographic center of the historic center of the ancient Greek-Roman city, at the intersection of via San Gregorio Armeno and via dei Tribunali. The name "San Lorenzo" may also refer to the new museum now opened on the premises, as well as to the ancient Roman market beneath the church itself, the Macellum of Naples.
The church's origins derive from the presence of the Franciscan order in Naples during the lifetime of St Francis of Assisi, himself. The site of the present church was to compensate the order for the loss of their earlier church on the grounds where Charles I of Anjou decided to build his new fortress, the Maschio Angioino in the late 13th century.
Admission Not Included
Via San Gregorio Armeno
The crib tradition of San Gregorio Armeno has a remote origin: in the street in classical times there was a temple dedicated to Ceres, to which the citizens offered small terracotta statuettes as ex voto, manufactured in the nearby shops. The birth of the Neapolitan nativity scene is naturally much later and dates back to the end of the eighteenth century.
Today via San Gregorio Armeno is known all over the world as the exhibition center of the craft shops located here that now all year round make statuettes for nativity scenes, both canonical and original (usually every year the most eccentric artisans make statuettes with the features of characters of stringent topicality that perhaps stood out positively or negatively during the year).
Duomo di Napoli
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta is a monumental basilica as well as a cathedral and seat of the archdiocese of the city of Naples.
The cathedral rises along the east side of the homonymous street, in a small square surrounded by arcades, and incorporates two other religious buildings that arose autonomously from the cathedral: the basilica of Santa Restituta, which houses the oldest baptistery of West, that of San Giovanni in Fonte, and the royal chapel of the Treasury of San Gennaro, which preserves the relics of the patron saint of the city.
It is one of the most important and largest churches in the city, both from an artistic point of view, it is in fact the superimposition of several styles ranging from pure Gothic of the fourteenth century to the nineteenth-century neo-Gothic, which from a cultural point of view, hosting in fact three times a year the rite of the dissolution of the blood of San Gennaro.

We booked the Amalfi Positano boat tour and got picked up from our hotel in a renovated Ford van at 8.45am which looked very funky from the outside. On the inside the seats were makeshift installed with 2 of the front passenger seats having bolts sticking out of them and there were no seatbelts for any passengers, which is a safety issue. The interior had not been finished with raw edges of lining hanging around the windows.
We were left off for the boat tour which was enjoyable but long and we were told the driver would be waiting for us on return and that we would be the second group to be taken back to our hotel.
On return after 7pm there was no driver for either group so we were all left waiting at the docks and feeling very tired after a full day trip.
After 20 mins we called and were told there would be a driver with us in 10 mins, meaning they would be 30 mins late. In the end they came 25 mins late and fortunately in a larger van with seatbelts etc. Paying over £50 each for a trip to include hotel transfers, more is expected. Doing a DIY trip would have been better. We had been going to book several other trips with this company, had this gone well but in the end spent the rest of our trips DIY which we would recommend.
