Reviews
It is a small vertical park, 5 minutes from the metro station. The place is very interesting and rather crowdless. From the top of it opens a great view. Also there is a Virgil's tomb. And next to it it feels a little bit terrifying but really exciting. The air is cold and vet there and the wind howls in that large crypt in a rock. I will never forget that feeling. Also I will also remember this place because I tried to get there 8 times during a year and a half and it was always closed during its working hours. So be ready that you may meet its closed gates.
The Google app said the tomb closed at 1:30pm, no indication of last entry time. The gate attendant turned us away at 1:05pm without explanation other than already closed (after we entered through the gate).
Pretty tombe and great view from the top. Nevertheless the caves seem closed and going from the reviews it has been like that for over a year. It's best to view it as a nice little park, then you'll have the right expectations. The areas that seemed closed off appear desolated and feel as if it hasn't been taken care off for a very long time.
Very small park, open from 09-14h. The tomb is cool with a good view, but there really wasn't much to see. You go here just to know that you paid Virgil some respect :). The caves are closed off as others mentioned.
Park closed during Christmas holidays in the afternoon. The street to reach the park dirty
The park was closed! Only open on Saturday atm. But the harbour at Mergellina was so beautiful.. worth a visit
It is now only opened on Saturday
The place is truly a gem... the almost invisible tomb... There are no clear directions even to get there... It would be enough to add... Anyway it's worth it because it's an almost mystical place
