The weekend

Things to do in Naples this weekend

Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September: the weekend programme and the experiences worth booking.

fromto

In Naples the weekend gets decided on Thursday: concerts sell out, special openings have few places, and neighbourhood festivals only happen on the day. Here you’ll find Saturday and Sunday day by day, with what’s worth your time and what it costs. The experiences at the bottom are booked online, almost always with free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
