Royal Palace of Naples

We have been sight seeing for over a week and this is worth the money if you love art and architecture. It is breathtaking and you could spend half a day soaking in all of the rooms. Truly worth the money. They are doing renovations so gardens were not accessible and one of the upstairs major rooms... but don't let that stop you from enjoying this amazing historical site. Note... the theatre room is a great please to cool off and rest a minute if you have been walking a while. The extra money for the roof top garden access added on was worth it for the views.

The Royal Palace is very nice, and it seems bigger inside than from outside. The rooms are impressive. Some rooms were under construction, so we could not enter. I would recommend seeing it.

Would recommend. It gets a little tricky to dong your way about. Have to purchase tickets for the inside walk about The outside is free. There was some construction going on so wasn't able to walk through the garden. The view was amazing when you are walking through the palace.

The Palace was built in 1600 onwards by the architect Domenico Fontana as the residence of the Spanish Viceroys. From 1734, Charles of Bourbon made the Palace the primary residence of the Bourbons of Naples for more than a hundred years, first as Kings of Naples and Sicily (1734-1816) and later as Kings of the two Sicilies (1816-1861). It was also the residence for Joseph Bonaparte and Joachim Murat during French rule (1806-1815), during which extensive redecorations were carried out. The Naples Palace is absolutely beautiful, the architecture and the art are amazing. I did all of it and it was totally worth it. The grandeur of the place, was unbelievable, the staircase alone was fantastic. I totally recommend coming in the morning and beating some of the crowds and also so you can take your time and spend as much time as you want without be worried about the Palace closing. I did an audio guide and personally, I recommend that because I was able to go at my own pace. The history of the palace is so impressive. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Thumbs up!!! 👍👍👍

It's incredible to see where royalty once lived, though, due to successive changes, adoptions and reconstructions, a lot of the lived-in feeling has been lost. The interiors are sumptuous and you really have an idea of the wealth of its inhabitants. No beds, bathrooms or much of the original furniture is left, so one must imagine what the rooms may have originally looked like before they became state apartments. It is well worth a visit, but if you're wondering whether to do the Palazzo Real or the Reggia Caserta... I would highly recommend the latter. You can wander through the rooms at a leisurely pace, and adore much of the paintwork, gilt stucco, and damask clad walls. All of it is impressive upon the senses and altogether worth the visit. Duration: 30 to 45 minutes (maybe longer with and an audioguide) Satisfaction: 85%

Wasnt specifically visiting Naples. Happened to stay over on the way to and from Pompeii and other parts of Italy i travelked to. The Palace is one of the landmarks of Naples, so decided to visit and didn't regret. Really enjoyed my visit (despite falling on one of the marble stairs 😀 - they do warn you about it, so take care when visit). You can get tickets on site. There was no queueing and no wait.

Extremely beautiful, filled with impressive, well-maintained rooms. A QR code and board with info is available for every room. A definite gem, must see!

Overall: Beautiful interior, the timings however arent accurate: 🕰Timings Sorry but having last entry at 7pm isnt fair when you have already closed half the wings and also the feature exhibition. I went in 6:30pm and the staff were come 7pm rushing us out, quite literally closing door by door of each apartment once we viewed it. If youre paid to be there until 8pm its not fair to rush guests out- contextually my mother has a walking impairment too so that wasnt the nicest to experience. 🎭Inside Its beautiful, the walk and path is an experience itself. The immersiveness is nice in they have the odd interactive exhibition but the grandure alone is picture worthy.

One of the large open spaces and if all of Naples looked as clean as this, it would be a much nicer city. This piazza is massive and beautiful. With the Royal Palace on one side and the church of San Francesco di Paola in the center, this is a beautiful spot. Not much going on today - it's late January - but there are usually events and festivals here in the warmer months. [Review 19219 overall - 370 in Italy - 189 of 2023.]

Massive! I'm sure this entire space was much more useful over 172 years ago. I was hanging around this plaza for their La Notte della Tammorra festival. Lotsa people just gathered listening to music, having conversations, munching on pizza and birre. It's a friendly community for locals and visitors. I even had a small conversation with someone where we both were using Google Translate to communicate. It didn't halt our attempts to talk, despite our language barrier. Hospitality and humanity is an art of a person's soul. Day time and night there always seems to be people hanging around, especially on the steps. The building directly faces Palazzo Reale di Napoli. Piazza del Plebiscito is a perfect landmark to know you're a short walk away to the ocean views. Keep on gallavanting! There's more to see and live.

I came to Naples and was able to visit this Piazza as part of a combined tour with also going to Pompeii in the morning. Its a large open square, with the Naples Royal Palace on one end and a beautiful Church building, which when we were visiting in Dec 2018, was lit-up and had a revolving display of multi-color lights shining on its walls. I guess it was okay - I think coming from Rome, felt a bit more understated. Yelp 280/ 2018

A huge expansive public space that puts you in awe to the size of the building fascia the closer you get to it. A vast open sweeping pair of arms that you could imagine holding the entire commerce of the city back in ancient times, filled with vendors and craftsmen from all over selling their wares. This is one of the few plazas I found so large and in excellent shape.

We passed this on our way toward the waterfront. Nice big area to run around in. I remember when I was kid I used to love running around big spaces like this. read more about our Naples food tour on my site

Magic! One of the most beautiful squares in Napoli. From there you can walk to the seafront and enjoy its beauty.
