Naples Capodichino — Alibus + ANM city bus
Naples Capodichino (NAP) to Naples — Updated 2026
Naples Airport (Capodichino) is unusually close to the city centre — just 7 km — but the only rail option is via Alibus shuttle to Napoli Centrale. The **Alibus** is the recommended option for tourists — €5.00 single, 30 minutes direct to Napoli Centrale (mainline rail + Metro Line 1 + 2) and onward to Beverello port (for ferries to Capri + Ischia + Sorrento). Runs every 20 minutes from 06:30 to 23:50. Cheaper local buses (ANM 3M, 191) connect to Garibaldi (next to Centrale) for €1.50 but are slower (40-50 min) + crowded. Naples is notorious for taxi scams — pre-paid Alibus is safer than the rank.

FAQ
Alibus or city bus from Naples airport?+
Alibus (€5, 30 min) for tourists — direct to Centrale + Beverello port, dedicated airport-luggage space, signage in English. City bus 3M or 191 (€1.50, 40-50 min) for locals or backpackers — crowded + multiple stops + Italian-only signage. Naples city bus is reliable but not luggage-friendly.
Why is Uber not at Naples airport?+
Uber doesn't operate in Naples or most of southern Italy due to local taxi-union opposition + regulatory issues. Use Alibus, the official white taxi rank with flat fares (€16-€19 to historic centre), or pre-book a transfer (Welcome Pickups, Kiwitaxi). NEVER accept rides from drivers approaching you in the terminal.
How do I get from Naples airport to Pompeii?+
Take Alibus (€5, 30 min) to Napoli Centrale, then Circumvesuviana railway (€2.80, 40 min) to Pompeii Scavi-Villa dei Misteri station — direct to the ruins entrance. Total ~€8, 80 minutes. Alternative: pre-booked airport-to-Pompeii transfer (€80-€100, 45 min direct). Sorrento Coast similar logistic but takes longer (90+ min).
Taxi scams at Naples airport?+
Yes — common. ONLY use the official white Naples taxi rank with metered taxis OR the €16-€19 flat fare to historic centre. NEVER agree to off-meter rides. Confirm "tariffa fissa" (flat fare) before getting in. Avoid drivers approaching you inside the terminal — they're unlicensed and overcharge dramatically. Reports of €60+ fares for the 7km trip when scammed.
