Website: www.portal.gesac.it

The airport, called Aeroporto Capodichino locally, is located 7km (4.5 miles) north of Naples city center. The facilities include ATMs, a bank office, currency exchange services, a post office, Internet access and VIP lounge. The airport also has several shops, including fashion and accessories stores, duty-free shops and convenience stores. There are also several bars, cafes and restaurants at the airport.

Car rental is available at the airport, and Naples is only 10 minutes away by car. Otherwise there are frequent bus departures from the airport to central Naples. The buses run every half hour or so and take around 15-20 minutes to get to the city center.

Getting There By Road:

Naples is well connected to Italy’s national motorway network. It stands between the A3, which goes south to Salerno and Calabria, and the A1, which runs north to Rome and Milan. The A16 runs east to Bari. Also the A30 is linked to Naples, and it provides a good alternative in the Campania region to the often congested A3. The Tangenziale di Napoli (Naples’s ring road) is where these motorways connect with the city.

The AA or RAC in Britain and the AAA in America have reciprocal agreements with the Automobile Club d’Italia (ACI) (tel: (06) 49981; website: www.aci.it), who provide a useful advisory service as well as dealing with breakdowns.

Emergency breakdown service:
ACI (tel: 803 116).

Bus companies serving the Naples region include SITA (tel: 081 552 2176; website: www.sitabus.it), which covers the Amalfi Coast and ACTP (tel: 081 700 1111), whose buses connect Naples with Caserta and Benevento.

Eurolines (tel: 081 563 4521; website: www.eurolines.it) operate coach services between Naples and many other cities in Italy and the rest of Europe.

Getting There By Rail:

Napoli Centrale (Naples Central Station), Piazza Garibaldi (tel: 081 567 2990 or 1478 88088) is the city’s main railway station. It is operated by Ferrovie dello Stato (tel: 081 200 931; website: www.ferroviedellostato.it) and is directly linked to the national rail network in Italy. South west of the central station is Ferrovia Circumvesuviana, where the private Circumvesuviana line (tel: 081 772 2111; website: www.vesuviana.it) operates trains between Naples and Sorrento, Herculaneum (Ercolano) and Pompeii. Metrocampania Nord-Est (tel: 800 127 157; website: www.alifana.it) operates two lines from Naples, to Piedimonte Matese and to Benevento.

Getting Around:

Public Transport
Naples’s public transport system may seem confusing at first sight, but it actually works quite well. The network includes metro, tram, bus, suburban trains and funicular. Metronapoli (tel: 800 56 88 66; website: www.metro.na.it) runs the city’s two metro lines and also the three funiculars up and down the city’s steep hills. Azienda Napoletana Mobilita (tel: 081 763 1111 or 800 639 525; website: www.anm.it) operates most of the city’s buses and two tram lines.

The city has a unified ticketing system, and so transfers are free. The Giranapoli pass is valid for 90 minutes on all public transport within the city. It is also possible to buy a pass for a whole day.

Taxis
Taxi drivers in Naples have a reputation for tricking tourists into paying them a lot of money. Some of them have no doubt done their bit to earn such a reputation, but many taxi drivers are honest. The best advice is to avoid unofficial taxis. To prebook a taxi the Cooperative Taxi Vagando (tel: 081 552 0399 or 800 403 040; website: www.taxivagando.it) is a good choice.

Car Hire
Car rental companies in Naples include Avis (tel: 081 780 5790; website: www.avis.com), Europcar (tel: 081 780 5643; website: www.europcar.it), Hertz (tel: 081 780 2971; website: www.hertz.com), Italrent (tel: 081 599 1316) and Maggiore (tel: 081 780 3011; website: www.maggiore.it).
