This tour is an opportunity to connect with Naples' traditions, football fever, and captivating daily life.

Start Your Tour in the City Centre

The tour begins at the scenic Piazza del Plebiscito, a historic site surrounded by impressive architecture and a favourite local gathering spot. After meeting your guide and group, you will head through the grand Galleria Umberto I, marvelling at the elegant glass dome and bustling shops that exemplify Naples’ blend of style and local flavour.

Here, you sense the unmistakable vibrancy of Naples. Your guide will share stories and answer questions, bringing alive the local traditions and the singular adoration the city holds for Diego Maradona.

As you stroll the narrow alleys, each corner reveals tributes to the football legend — from vibrant murals and artistic mosaics made by Italian and French artists to shrines filled with photos, relics and passionate displays. The most iconic stops include Vico Lungo Gelso and Piazza Maradona on Via Emanuele De Deo, home to some of the city's most photographed Maradona murals and street art. These open-air tributes transform this neighbourhood into a living museum of football heritage and Naples pride.
