Exhibitions and guided visits in Naples: what to see the week of 30

Overview

If you are in Naples during the week of 30 March to 5 April 2026, there are several opportunities to explore exhibitions, guided visits and special openings in museums, churches and exhibition spaces. Below is a practical summary with tips on what to see and how to plan your visit.

Featured exhibitions and routes

• MUDD – evening visits to the Church of San Giovanni a Carbonara: the Diocesan Diffused Museum organises free evening visits to the monumental Church of San Giovanni a Carbonara. Visits usually require advance booking: check the MUDD calendar and reserve your slot through official channels.

• Casa Museo Murolo (Vomero): the "Murolo e…" programme pairs a guided tour of the house museum with themed sessions. The format includes a short guided walk through the house followed by the scheduled activity; verify dates and times ahead of your visit.

• National Railway Museum of Pietrarsa: just outside Naples, it hosts permanent and temporary exhibitions on industrial and railway history. A recommended stop for those interested in technical and historical displays with multimedia installations.

• Chiesa dei Cristallini and Rione Sanità: the Sanità neighbourhood features exhibition spaces and contemporary art projects linked to historic sites. Check local listings for special openings and themed displays.

• Pompeii Archaeological Park: a suggested day trip for archaeological exhibitions and curated displays. Although outside the city centre, it is easily accessible and often runs guided tours and special initiatives.

Practical tips

• Bookings: many guided visits and evening openings require advance reservation or have limited places. Book early to secure your spot.
• Opening hours: verify up-to-date opening times on official museum and church websites—some events take place outside standard hours.
• Tickets: some exhibitions are free, others paid. Check for reduced rates and free-entry options (students, seniors, etc.).
• Accessibility: if you have specific needs (wheelchair access, group tours), contact the venue in advance.
• Up-to-date info: always consult official channels for programme changes or new openings before travelling.

How to plan your visit

To make the most of your week, plan 1–2 visits per day: alternate church and museum tours with walks through historic neighbourhoods. If short on time, prioritise guided visits for contextual introductions and time-efficient sightseeing.

Enjoy your visit: Naples offers a rich calendar of exhibitions and cultural routes even during the week—perfect for exploring art, history and local heritage.
