Best time to visit the Naples Underground

Weekday vs Weekend

Weekdays, particularly Tuesdays through Thursdays, are ideal for visiting the Naples Underground. These days typically see fewer tourists compared to weekends, allowing for a more intimate and unhurried tour experience.
If you're visiting on a weekend, try to book a slot that's early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid crowds and stark temperature differences.

Peak season vs low season

The optimal seasons to visit are during the spring (Mar to Jun) and fall (Sep to Oct). The pleasant temperatures and relatively sparse crowds make for a more comfortable exploration of both the city and its underground attractions.
Winter, while mild and slightly wet, makes for a great off-season option. Summer months are hot and crowded, but the underground's cool environment offers a sweet escape from the heat.
