From September to June, every fourth Saturday of the month, the Palazzo Reale di Napoli offers guided visits to the attics and the Belvedere.
The Belvedere dominates the southern facade of the building at a height of approximately 70 meters above sea level. Overlooking the Gulf of Naples through three large windows, it was designed in a neoclassical style as part of the renovations commissioned by Ferdinand II of Bourbon after 1837 and carried out by architect Gaetano Genovese, who spent twenty years restructuring the entire palace.
During the tour, museum staff will accompany visitors in groups of up to 24 people along an exclusive route through the attics, which have also undergone restoration and redevelopment. The tour reveals previously inaccessible service areas of great historical and architectural significance.
The visits, lasting approximately 45 minutes, depart at 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM, and 12:00 PM.
Visitors can purchase a ticket for the Belvedere and attic visit only, at a cost of €7.00, or a combined ticket that also includes access to the Palazzo Reale for €20.00. In both cases, reservations are mandatory until all spots are filled, either through the following link:
