Naples is a city in Southern Italy, located near Mount Vesuvius (which is still active) and the ruins of Pompeii. It is the third largest city in Italy and dates back to the second millennium BC. Naples is brimming with important art and beautiful architecture. It’s a city full of magic, with spectacular views, underground frescos, royal palaces, Tuscan architecture, friendly locals and inspiring food. In this tour to discover the traditions of Christmas our guide will walk with you around Naples and will talk about how the holiday is celebrated in Italy and specifically in Naples where the nativity scene has its oldest tradition in the world. It is here that the first Christian Baptistery of the Western world is located. Do you know why red balls are placed on fir trees? Do you know that the relics of the real Santa Claus are found in Bari, Italy? Do you know why Christmas dinner always ends with nuts or seeds (in America there may be Christmas pudding or mince pie that contain nuts and seeds, or bowls of nuts with nutcrackers)? What does the red and white candy-cane symbolize? According to scriptures, Mary gave birth in a cave, perhaps a stable, but the Neapolitans place the Holy Family under the ruins of a Roman temple and they are perfectly right to do so. Our guide will explain all these curiosities when you take a walk with her in Naples. $79 for each additional screen (does not apply to corporate customers.) * This tour is not designed for our corporate customers.
