As part of the initiative The Vault Saturday. Guided tours of the vaults of furniture and artworks at Palazzo Reale every third Saturday of the month, the Palazzo Reale of Naples offers guided tours of its furniture and artwork vaults.
Visitors are accompanied by museum staff through unusual routes, which include alternating monthly visits to the Artworks Vault and the Restoration Laboratory, located on the mezzanine floor of the building and restored in 2014 following major renovation works, and guided tours of the Foriera Vault, housed in service areas that were historically connected to the underlying military dock until the 19th century. Today, this vault preserves 19th-century furnishings, mostly originating from rooms now occupied by the National Library “Vittorio Emanuele III.”
Tours are conducted for groups of up to 25 people, starting at 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM, with a duration of 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Visitors can purchase a ticket for the tour alone at a cost of €5.00 or a combined ticket that also includes access to Palazzo Reale for €18.00. In both cases, advance booking is required until all spots are filled at the following link: https://portale.museiitaliani.it/b2c/buyTicketless/4bad3b4a-f7ea-4b25-b00f-0a3a52e076c5, or at the ticket office (only in case of remaining availability).
The meeting point is in the Cortile d’Onore, near the Fontana della Fortuna.
