From here you’ll ride to Vomero, another hilltop district with its own funicular system, used by tourists to access the alfresco cafes, superior gelaterias, and enticing eateries nestled within the neighborhood.

Your guided bike tour reaches a fascinating finale at the Castel Sant’ Elmo, the majestic medieval fortress towering over Naples from atop Vomero Hill.
