Then you will have a really full calendar.
Naples is one of those cities where it is always nice to stroll, and on holidays it is filled with activities and initiatives, in fact during these Easter days it is possible to visit museums, participate in initiatives in the center or move around the provinces and take advantage of the sunny days to enjoy the sea or trekking excursions.
First of all, if you want to have a complete experience, you should be in Naples during the period of the Holy Week, a period in which the city is transformed into an open-air theater.
In the days ranging from Palm Sunday to Holy Monday you can participate in the “Lo Struscio del Giovedì Santo“, this event is so called because it refers to the noise of the clothes worn by the ladies who went on pilgrimage to seven churches in the city to celebrate the Sepulchres.
Or, on Good Friday, there are representations of the Via Crucis, the most beautiful being those in Sorrento and Procida.
In the night between these two days it is possible to visit the Sepulchres in the churches open all night long.
On Easter day in Naples, immediately after the Holy Mass, the Neapolitans gather with friends and relatives for the Easter lunch, which as you can imagine is full of typical traditional dishes.
If Easter day in Naples is entirely dedicated to religious tradition, on Easter Monday, however, we dedicate ourselves to outdoor activities, to visit museums or exhibitions, to relax by the sea or on some trekking path.
During this day, the Neapolitans organize picnics with friends, in places such as the Bosco di Capodimonte, the Royal Palace of Caserta.
For those who, on the other hand, want to take advantage of this day to rediscover museums and historical sites, it is possible to see the Bourbon galleries, Catacombs of San Gennaro, Castel Sant’Elmo or take a trip out of town arriving at the excavations of Pompi or on the paths on Vesuvius.
As always, Naples manages to satisfy all tastes, from the more traditional to the more adventurous ones, among other things, the spring climate of these days spurs tourists and non-tourists to travel all over Naples, from the historic center to the most dislocated sites.
