About us
Who is behind napolimetro.com, how we work, and where every fact here comes from.
An independent guide to the Naples metro
We are a small independent group: some of us know Naples and ride the metro daily, others build websites and tools. napolimetro.com puts the practical information in one place — a page per station, a page per line and for each of the four funiculars, the map, timetables, tickets, a route planner, and guides for getting to Pompeii, Herculaneum, the airport and the port. The site is free, asks for no sign-up and runs in Italian and English.
We are not ANM or EAV. We sell no tickets and cannot help with refunds or lost property.
Where the data comes from
ANM and EAV
Fares, hours, service notices and line status. Prices on this site carry the month we checked them, because they change.
it.wikipedia
Station-by-station detail: opening year, station typology (16 distinct types), the neighbourhood served (26 distinct values) and above all who designed the station (11 of 38) and whose artwork it holds (12 of 38). Every page links to its source.
Nothing without a source
If a value cannot be documented the row is not there. That goes for depth, typology and above all for artists’ names.
Why the architects matter here
Line 1 is the line of the Art Stations: each one carries an architect’s signature and holds work by named artists. Toledo is by Óscar Tusquets and holds William Kentridge’s mosaic; Università is by Alessandro Mendini with Karim Rashid’s design; Materdei and Salvator Rosa are Mendini’s; Garibaldi is Dominique Perrault’s. That is what distinguishes one station from another — far more than a list of facilities identical on all of them.
We name the designer on the 11 stations where the source attributes it, and the artists on 12. On the rest we name no one: attributing a work to the wrong person is worse than not attributing it.
What we corrected on our own pages
A facilities list identical on every station
The “Accessibility” box was word-for-word the same on all 38 pages in each language and promised lifts and escalators everywhere. Lifts and step-free access vary station by station and do go out of service: the list is gone, replaced with what is verifiable plus a pointer to ANM for the real state.
The same FAQs on every page
Ticket price, bicycles, wheelchairs and first/last train — four identical answers repeated 38 times per language. Replaced by questions built on each station’s own data: when it opened, who designed it, whose artwork it holds, what is around it.
Corrections
We get things wrong and the network changes. Write to [email protected] with the page link and we will check it against ANM or the source and fix it.
How the site is funded
The site is free to read. Hosting and development are paid for by advertising. Advertising does not influence the content: we receive nothing from ANM, EAV or any ticket seller, we place no paid links in the text and we sell no reader data.
Frequently asked questions
Who is behind this site
This site is run by the team at GoRandom, a small group based in the Basque Country in Spain who do two things that go together better than they sound: travel, and build websites.
We were in Naples in August 2023, and the city guide on gorandom.es came out of that trip. We liked it enough to want to go back, and after enough hours spent staring at network maps and comparing travel passes this turned up: a site about nothing except how you actually get around here.
The other half of what we know how to do is web development, and this site is the excuse to put the two together. We do not leave it sitting there: every fare and every timetable carries its source and the date we checked it, and they get revised when the operator changes something. The last thorough revision was in August 2026: every Stazione dell’Arte now names the architect and the artist behind it, instead of the identical paragraph that used to sit on all of them.
He decides what goes up, checks the data before it does, and answers the email. If you find a fare that has expired or a timetable that no longer holds, there is a specific person to write to.
