Theatre of Saint Charles
Cultural siteNaplesAbout 1 hour
The oldest working opera house in Europe, older than La Scala, with a red and gold auditorium that daytime guided tours get you inside. A performance is the better experience where the dates allow. Next to the royal palace and the arcade, so it slots into a walk rather than needing a trip of its own.
