Exploring Naples with a Tuk Tuk
This tour offers a fresh way to experience Naples—by tuk tuk, no less. We love the compact size and agility of these vehicles; they weave effortlessly through narrow streets and allow for an up-close view of the city’s most breathtaking spots. Starting from C.so Vittorio Emanuele, the ride takes you along the seafront of Mergellina, revealing the vibrant life of Naples’s waterfront.
The tuk tuk then winds its way along Via Orazio and Via Pacuvio, where panoramic vistas stretch across the gulf. Fans of photography will especially appreciate the photo stops at Via Alessandro Manzoni and Viale Virgilio, where the views are postcard-perfect—Capri, Vesuvius, and the Sorrento coast are all in clear sight. The short walk at Parco Virgiliano adds a peaceful break amid lush greenery and sweeping sea views, and the Pontile di Bagnoli offers an unusual perspective of the coast, with a 900-meter structure perfect for a leisurely stroll.
All these stops aren’t just about pretty landscapes—they’re carefully chosen to give a real taste of Naples’ diverse scenery: from lively seafronts to quiet hilltops overlooking the bay. The scenic drives combined with quick photo stops mean you’ll leave with lots of memorable images and a real sense of the city’s geography.
