Hi, let us introduce ourselves: we are a group of twenty mothers living in the centre of Naples and we are attending a course of English language organized by our children's school.
We wish to be helpful to the several tourists crowding Naples in these years by giving them some suggestions about what to visit in this beautiful town.
There are lots of guides focused on adults' interests , but what about children? All of us know how it's hard travelling with children: visiting new places it's interesting and discovering them together with our chilren makes it even more pleasant.
But children soon get sick of museums and churches and a nice experience can turn into a nightmare if you aren't able to propose them amusing or diverting activities.
Our main aim is giving a hand to those tourists facing a journey with their little children by pointing out some attractions that can be interesting both for adults and children.
So, if you are interested in this topic, visit this blog in the next weeks: we are going to fill it with more and more information.

UNDERGROUND NAPLES
From Via San Gregorio Armeno you can get to Via dei Tribunali, which was once a major street of Greek Roman Naples. At the end of this street you will find the entry to the fascinating world of underground Naples. This is a “city under the city” that is exceptionally old: archaeological digs have found artefacts dating back 5000 years. The Greeks built here their necropolis, while Romans built aqueducts and tunnels used as streets to avoid climbing some Mount Piedigrotta. To the Roman era dates back also the hidden theatre , that was in that period one of the more important and open theatre, where even the emperor Nero performed . So every historic happening, from the foundation of the ancient Greek nucleus (Palepolis) to the WWII bombs (when the former aqueduct tanks were used as shelters) , left its marks on the walls of the yellow tufa stone with which city was built. The public can now visit some parts of these underground areas accompanied by a guide in a two hours tour. Excursions take place daily from 10.00 am to 6.00 p.m. every two hours. We suggest you to have a sweater at your disposition , even when outside is hot, as in the underground is much more colder and wet. Your children will find amusing and thrilling this excursion in the vessels of Naples, characterized by narrow and dark passages, enlightened by torches, and that will finally take you into a large tank of crystalline water, like an underground pool.
