There is no railway or underground service to the airport, but it is accessible by both city and intercity bus routes.

For most passengers, the best option is the direct Alibus. Route 180 is particularly worthwhile if travelling to Fuorigrotta, whilst a taxi may be a sensible option for groups of three to four people.

Bus to Naples

You can reach the city centre directly from the terminal via a special airport bus service. A slightly cheaper option, involving one change, is to travel to the centre from the nearby main road.

Alibus

A direct Alibus service runs to the city centre (main railway station) and the port.

A 90-minute transfer ticket, which is also valid on other forms of public transport in Naples, costs 5 eur. You can buy it from the driver on the bus, from a ticket machine in the arrivals hall or, for example, at a Sun Store.

Tickets can also be purchased online at terravision.eu or via the Unico Campania mobile app (available on: Google Play / App Store), which is excellent for travelling throughout the Campania region.

An online ticket costs the same, you don’t need to print it out, and it isn’t tied to a specific service. So, if your flight is delayed, you can simply board the next bus.

• Fare – 5 eur / 90 minutes
• Frequency – 20 minutes
• Journey time – 15 minutes to the main railway station, 35 minutes to the port
• Service hours – approximately from 5.10 am to midnight

Official information and the latest timetable can be found on the transport company’s website, anm.it.

If you’re continuing by boat to Capri, Ischia or Procida, alight at the terminus, Molo Beverello. For standard ferries, you can also use the Porta di Massa stop.

Bus routes C68 and 180

Lines C68 and 180

You can save a little money by walking for about 5 minutes from the terminal to the stops on Viale Fulco Ruffo di Calabria (map of the route from the terminal: mapy.com), where buses C68 and 180 run.

• Bus route 180 is particularly useful for travelling to Fuorigrotta, the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium or Monte Sant’Angelo University. Near the Piazzale Tecchio terminus, you can change to metro line 6 at Mostra station, line 2 at Campi Flegrei station, or the Cumana trains. In the opposite direction, the bus goes to Piscinola station on metro line 1 (far from the centre)
• The C68 route terminates at Piazza Carlo III and is mainly used for journeys to the northern part of the wider city centre. To reach the historic centre, you’ll need to take another bus.

Both routes run significantly less frequently than the Alibus, and their intervals are not very regular (30–60 minutes). The Alibus therefore remains the easier option for travelling to the main railway station, the historic centre or the harbour.

A single-journey ticket costs 1,30 eur, whilst a 90-minute transfer ticket 1,80 eur. A day ticket valid only on ANM services costs 4,50 eur, whilst an integrated ticket for multiple operators 5,40 eur.

You can find the current route and departure times on the ANM website for route 180 and route C68.

You can also plan your route in Naples using Google Maps.

Taxi

Especially for early morning departures, it is not possible to get there by public transport, so a taxi will be your only option. You’ll find the taxi rank directly in front of the terminal.

Taxi fares from the airport are fixed:

• Main railway station and Piazza Garibaldi – 21 eur
• The harbour, Molo Beverello and Piazza Municipio – 24 eur
• Hotels in the Via Partenope area – 28,50 eur

Ask for a fixed price before the journey begins. The fare is per car and includes luggage as well as any airport, night-time or public holiday surcharges. The current price list is available to download from the airport’s website.

Neither Bolt nor the standard UberX service operates in Naples. Through the Uber app, you can only book more expensive vehicles with professional drivers, which are usually no cheaper than a standard taxi.

Car hire

If you want to set off straight from the airport to explore the Campania countryside, it’s best to use the car hire companies based at the airport itself.

Do not hire a car just for your stay in Naples. The traffic is chaotic, parking is difficult, and you’ll find you’ll hardly use it in the city.

Prices are relatively high, and a week’s hire during the summer season will set you back around 496 eur.

Buses to the surrounding area

Buses also run directly from the airport to Sorrento, Pompeii, Salerno, Caserta and the Amalfi Coast.

Most regional services depart from the P Bus stop next to car park P1.

Services run significantly less frequently than the Alibus, and some routes are seasonal. However, if you can find a departure that connects with your flight, a direct bus will save you from having to change buses in the centre of Naples.

• Sorrento – direct buses operated by Curreri run 8 times a day; the journey takes about 75 minutes and a ticket costs 13 eur. Along the way, they also stop at Castellammare di Stabia, Vico Equense, Meta and Sant’Agnello
• Pompeii – you can use selected Curreri services, for which you must book a seat in advance, or Tramvia buses. If there’s no direct connection, take the Alibus to the main railway station and continue by train
• Amalfi, Maiori, Minori and Atrani – direct Pintour buses run several times a day. The journey to Amalfi takes about 2 hours and costs around 20 eur
• Positano and Praiano – the Positano Shuttle offers direct transport right to your accommodation, but it is not a regular scheduled bus service and prices start at 90 eur. It’s cheaper to take the Curreri bus to Sorrento and then continue on the local SITA service
• Salerno – direct services are operated by FlixBus, Sita, Air Campania and bus route 119. However, route 119 only runs a few times on weekdays
• Caserta – direct buses are operated by Tramvia to Caserta’s main railway station

For buses to the coast, we recommend buying a ticket in advance, especially during the summer season. A complete overview of all operators and destinations can be found on the airport’s website.
