Start with an authentic Neapolitan coffee and pastry at Caffè Ciorfito. It is a welcoming spot in the heart of the old town, often visited by Italian actors. The café is open from 06:00, so you have plenty of time to enjoy this before the rush.
17:22
Walk to the Cappella Sansevero to explore the 18th-century sculptures and the mysterious anatomical machines. The chapel is open from 09:00, allowing you to wander through the basement vein models and see the Veiled Christ in the quiet afternoon light.
18:22
Stay inside or just outside the chapel as the sun sets toward the west. The golden light from 17:45 will cast a warm glow over the historic center, providing a perfect backdrop for your final thoughts on the art and science within these walls.
18:52
End the evening with a Negroni at Archeobar. This bar specializes in the cocktail and opens at 18:00, making it the ideal spot to relax after sunset. It is just a short walk from the chapel.
Local tip
The chapel closes at 19:00, so ensure you enter with enough time to see the exhibits before the sun dips below the horizon. Archeobar is open until 01:00, so you can linger over your drink as the night deepens.
