Morning
Begin your tour inside Galleria Umberto I, where you can enjoy a morning cappuccino at Caffè Roma (No. 25–6) and get a sense of the bustling optimism of 19th-century Naples. Coming out onto Via San Carlo, the elegant Neo-Classical façade of the Teatro San Carlo is directly across the street.
Go to the right and around the corner into Piazza del Plebiscito. On your right is the massive dome of the church of San Francesco di Paola , and on your left, Palazzo Reale (see Palazzo Reale, Naples). First walk over to the church, noting the bronze equestrian statues of kings Charles III and Ferdinand I, then go back across the piazza to the Royal Palace. Enter the courtyard and take the magnificent staircase up to the apartments.
Take a break for a snack or lunch at historic Gambrinus (see Caffè Gambrinus), just outside the piazza.
Afternoon
After lunch go back past the Teatro San Carlo and the palace gardens, and be sure not to miss the giant statues of the horse-tamers at the gate. Continue on down and across the lawns to the Castel Nuovo (see Castel Nuovo, Naples). Your visit here should include the views from the parapets.
Finally, head up Via Medina to the Caffetteria Medina , where you can enjoy a drink while admiring the Fountain of Neptune.
