Yes but I do not detect the difference between doing a voucher online and doing the ticket on site in fact you always queue and there is no advantage even economically

Unfortunately (through our own fault) we had intended it to be underground Naples instead of underground Naples. Our mistake

Your experience

The Basilica

Step into history with tickets to the San Lorenzo Maggiore Monumental Complex and the extraordinary Naples Sotterrata, where layers of time come alive beneath your feet. Start your journey in the heart of Naples at the Basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore, a Gothic masterpiece built atop earlier Roman and Greek structures. There's much to explore aboveground in the modest Gothic interiors of this centuries-old church itself. From the Cacace Chapel with a richly sculpted altar by Massimo Stanzione, to the mosaiced tomb of Catherine of Austria.

The marketplace

"Your adventure deepens as you descend into the hidden world of the Naples Sotterrata—a perfectly preserved ancient Roman market. Walk through the bustling streets of 1st-century Neapolis, where shops, warehouses, and courtyards tell the story of daily Roman life. From ancient bakeries to market stalls, this underground archaeological site reveals Naples' vibrant commercial past, hidden for centuries beneath the modern city.
