Ovo Castle

Castel dell’Ovo was closed and surrounded by scaffolding for restoration, which ruined the view. The area underneath with restaurants felt crowded and uncomfortable, with unpleasant smells in the air. Overall, was not an enjoyable visit.

Unfortunately, the castle itself is currently under construction, so we couldn’t explore the interior. However, going there at night was still worth it. The scenery was beautiful with a pleasant atmosphere all around. The area is lively, with plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby, making it a nice spot for an evening walk or dinner.

Castle on the island, the third one in Naples that we saw, currently under some kind of renovation. There are lots of restaurants around it, so it's in the center of night life. Still it's another massive old monument of Naples grand history.

Beautiful area but a lot of construction going on around it so difficult to get the perfect view. Lovely walk down there from the old town.

Unfortunately, the castle is under reconstruction, I wasn't able to see the inside of it. However, it's still a good idea to go at night was. The scenery was nice with a pleasant atmosphere all around. The area is lively, with plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby, making it a nice spot for an evening walk or dinner.

Don't bother. 'temporarily closed' means 'years and years'. Just in case you want to take a panoramic photo of Castel'dell Ovo or Vesuvius: the city council gas had the genius idea of fencing off the view along the waterside 'for public works' which only happen every three days so it will take a million years to finish. As with all public works in Naples: most tourist sites are hidden by works.

Name one ‘free’ place that gives both Mt. Vesuvius and the panoramic view of Napoli city. Yes, it’s Ovo Castle! It may not be a must visit destination in Napoli. There’s no exciting activity within the castle. But it is a perfect place where you can unwind for 1/2 hr. It’s a perfect place to go if you have extra 45 minutes before your ferry takes you to Capri/Amalfi. Pretty charming place. You should visit if you are around the area.

it was beautiful and unbelievable an oceanfront castle. It is free to go up inside and to the roof. Another name of the castle is Egg castle (sounds very cute) The castle is rectangular in plan, approximately 200 by 45 metres at its widest and the castle is popular for newlyweds to have their wedding photos taken. Inside the castle walls are several buildings that are often used for exhibitions and other special events. if you have some extra time, there are some good views on the top.
