5.Capodimonte Museum in Naples

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 115 reviews · 1 to 2 hours (approx.) · from $27

Book timed admission to Naples’ Capodimonte Museum and spend about 90 minutes exploring one of southern Italy’s largest art collections. You’ll see grand rooms, paintings by major Italian artists, and possibly Caravaggio’s *Flagellation of Christ*. Your voucher gives an assigned entrance time, so plan carefully.

“Biglietto pagato per intero (€ 15) ma ho potuto visitare solo un piano perché il secondo che ospita Caravaggio alle 17:30 è chiuso, cosa che non mi è stata segnalata da Viator. Ho contattato telefonicamente il numero indicato ma sostengono di non sapere nulla della chiusura (peggio mi sento) e che per il rimborso non bisogna fare riferimento a loro.”
