Naples Events - August 2027
⚠️ Current Status
Castel dell'Ovo's interior is not confirmed open. The Comune di Napoli's official page still lists the castle as closed to the public until further notice for renovation work, and gives no reopening date. On 20 September 2026 Mayor Gaetano Manfredi announced that the castle would reopen and stay open, with guided visits by booking while restoration continues in other parts of the complex; as of 30 September 2026 no booking channel had been published. Check our opening hours and current access status page, or telephone the castle on 081 7953581, before planning a trip around going inside.
One date is fixed in August 2027: the 1st, when the state museums open free. The theatres are dark, the Cup finished on 19 July, and the city's own August programme is not published until nearer the month.
