The Race Village is planned for Via Caracciolo, while the team bases are at Bagnoli, on the site of the former steelworks, where a fan zone with big screens is also planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Via Caracciolo seafront and the Rotonda Diaz<\/strong>: front row on the racecourse.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Borgo Marinari and Castel dell&#8217;Ovo<\/strong>: a balcony over the bay, a few steps from Santa Lucia.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Posillipo and Vomero<\/strong>: from Via Petrarca, Via Orazio or the terrace of Via Aniello Falcone you see the whole course from above.<\/li>\n<li><strong>From the water<\/strong>: in the designated spectator areas, following the rules published by the organisers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tickets.<\/strong> The preliminary regatta of September 2026 was watched for free from the seafront and from a Race Village that was open to everyone.

Mergellina and Posillipo give you views over the bay; the Centro Storico gives you more choice, with Line 2 to reach the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does it cost to stay in Naples during the America&#8217;s Cup?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today half of our apartments in Naples start at \u20ac91 a night or less, cleaning aside.
