About City Sightseeing Naples Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour
Naples is one of the most intensely alive cities in Europe — a place where ancient history, baroque churches, volcanic geology, and the world's greatest pizza are packed into one of the most chaotic and captivating urban landscapes on the planet. The City Sightseeing Naples Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour is the easiest and most rewarding way to get your bearings and explore the city's most celebrated landmarks on your own terms, with 24 hours of unlimited access on two routes that together cover the full sweep of what makes Naples extraordinary.
Line A — Places of Art wraps you in Naples' storybook historic heart, departing from Piazza Municipio and gliding from grand castles and church-filled piazzas to treasure-crammed museums and alleyways perfumed with pizza. The route passes the Maschio Angioino (Castel Nuovo), the Royal Palace of Naples and the San Carlo Opera House, Piazza Dante, the National Archaeological Museum — home to the world's greatest collection of Roman artefacts from Pompeii and Herculaneum — the hilltop Royal Museum of Capodimonte with its Caravaggio and Titian masterpieces, and the ancient, mystic Catacombs of San Gennaro. The full loop takes approximately 65 minutes without hopping off. Line B — Views of the Gulf is your coastal escape — departing from the same Piazza Municipio hub and cruising along the spectacular Neapolitan seafront past the palm-lined Lungomare promenade, the chic Chiaia neighbourhood, the medieval Castel dell'Ovo on its island, and out along the Posillipo hill road for breathtaking views over the Gulf of Naples with Mount Vesuvius rising on the horizon. The full loop takes approximately 70 minutes.
Both routes connect at Piazza Municipio, making it easy to switch between them throughout your 24-hour validity window. Your ticket is stamped with the start time on first use and is valid for 24 hours from that moment. Book your City Sightseeing Naples Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour now on Thrillark.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the City Sightseeing Naples Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour?
The City Sightseeing Naples Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour is a 24-hour open-top double-decker bus pass covering two routes and 20+ stops across Naples — Line A through the historic centre and Line B along the spectacular Gulf of Naples coastline. Multilingual audio commentary and free Wi-Fi are included on every bus, with buses running every 30 minutes on both routes throughout the day.
What is the difference between Line A and Line B in Naples?
Line A — Places of Art — covers Naples' historic heart, passing the Royal Palace, Castel Nuovo, the National Archaeological Museum, Capodimonte, and the Catacombs of San Gennaro in a full loop of approximately 65 minutes. Line B — Views of the Gulf — follows the spectacular Neapolitan coastline past Castel dell'Ovo, Chiaia, and out along the Posillipo road for sweeping Gulf of Naples and Vesuvius views in a full loop of approximately 70 minutes.
Where does the City Sightseeing Naples tour depart from?
Both Line A and Line B depart from Piazza Municipio — the central hub steps from the Castel Nuovo, the Royal Palace, the San Carlo Opera House, and the cruise port. Piazza Municipio is the interchange point for both routes, making it easy to switch between Line A and Line B at any point throughout your 24-hour pass validity.
What is the National Archaeological Museum and is it worth visiting?
The National Archaeological Museum of Naples is one of the world's most important museums — housing the finest collection of Roman artefacts from Pompeii and Herculaneum in existence, including extraordinary mosaics, frescoes, sculptures, and everyday objects preserved by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. A stop on Line A makes it easy to hop off and spend several hours inside before reboarding for the rest of the route.
Can I use the Naples hop-on hop-off bus to visit Pompeii?
No — the City Sightseeing Naples Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour covers the city of Naples only and does not extend to Pompeii or Mount Vesuvius. A separate shuttle or guided tour is required to visit Pompeii — City Sightseeing does operate a Pompeii shuttle service separately, and many Naples-based tour operators offer half-day Pompeii excursions bookable independently.
What can I see along Line B — Views of the Gulf?
Line B follows the Neapolitan seafront from Piazza Municipio past the medieval Castel dell'Ovo on its island, along the palm-lined Lungomare promenade, through the chic Chiaia neighbourhood with its boutique shops and waterfront cafes, and up the Posillipo hillside road for spectacular panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples with Mount Vesuvius rising dramatically on the horizon.
How often do the City Sightseeing Naples buses run?
Buses run every 30 minutes on both Line A and Line B throughout the operating day, which typically runs from approximately 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Schedules may be reduced during winter months and disruptions can occur during local festivals and major events — checking the official City Sightseeing Naples website before your visit is recommended for up-to-date timetable information.
Are pets allowed on the City Sightseeing Naples buses?
Small and medium domestic animals are welcome on board at the driver's discretion — a muzzle and leash are mandatory, and the pet carrier must be in good condition and must not contain food. Large animals are not permitted on board the City Sightseeing Naples buses.
What are the opening hours of the Royal Museum of Capodimonte?
The Royal Museum of Capodimonte — accessible from Line A — is one of the most significant art museums in southern Italy, housing masterpieces by Caravaggio, Titian, Raphael, and many others across the former royal palace on the Capodimonte hill. Entry is not included in the hop-on hop-off bus ticket and must be purchased separately — check the official Capodimonte website for current opening hours and admission prices before your visit.
Do I need to book the City Sightseeing Naples Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour in advance?
Advance booking is recommended, particularly during Naples' peak tourist season from April to October and during cruise ship port days when the Piazza Municipio area can be very busy. Booking through Thrillark saves up to 13% on the standard rate with instant confirmation and a mobile e-voucher ready to present at the first boarding stop.
