Ferdinand II’s escape tunnel
Built as a royal escape route from the palace toward the sea, the gallery narrates Bourbon Naples, military use and later reuse. Visits are always guided; courses differ in length and difficulty — it is not a single corridor you walk alone.
Booking: Tiqets first, GYG as fallback
Commercial clicks go to Tiqets for guided courses from about €15*. If slots are gone or you prefer another catalogue, we label GetYourGuide tour t165701 (from about €18*). Outbound links use /go/ with campaign ticketsnaples.
Accessibility and kit
Wear sturdy shoes and expect damp stretches. If you use a wheelchair or pushchair, confirm which course is marked accessible at checkout — the “~60%” figure does not apply to every product.
How to pair it in a day
It sits naturally with the Royal Palace, Teatro San Carlo and Via Toledo. If you also want Sotterranea the same day, book two slots and allow travel time: they are not as close on foot as tourist maps suggest.

FAQ
Where is the Bourbon Tunnel entrance?
The working entrance is on Vico del Grottone, a few minutes’ walk from Piazza del Plebiscito and the Royal Palace. Do not confuse it with Naples Underground at Piazza San Gaetano.
Is it wheelchair accessible?
About 60% of the route is described as accessible; not every stretch or tour product is. Ask the partner which course fits before booking.
Tiqets or GetYourGuide?
We prioritise Tiqets when inventory exists. GetYourGuide tour t165701 is the fallback if Tiqets is thin on slot or language. Always compare price and cancellation.
Is this the same as Naples Underground?
No. Here you are in the Bourbon nineteenth century under Plebiscito; Sotterranea is the Greco-Roman network in the old centre. Use the underground guide to choose.
