If you're in Naples for just a day, book a Hop-On-Hop-Off tour that not only stops at the city's top attractions like the Duomo, Baptistery, etc. but also gives you entry to the National Archeological Museum of Naples. What's more, avail audio guides in 10 languages on your bus tour.
The MANN always offers something exciting, from temporary archaeology exhibits to painting and printmaking workshops for children. Be sure to plan your visit and book tickets based on the event you'd like to attend.
