From Naples airport to the city centre
The Alibus in 15 minutes, a fixed-fare taxi or the shared taxi — every option from Capodichino to the Central Station, the port and the centre (and back).
Your options at a glance
Naples-Capodichino is one of the closest airports to a city centre in Europe: the Central Station is just 5 kilometres away. The metro doesn't reach it yet — the Capodichino station of Line 1 is under construction — so today you have three options: the Alibus shuttle, a fixed-fare taxi or the shared taxi. From the Central Station continue anywhere on Line 1 (Garibaldi) or Line 2 (Piazza Garibaldi).
Alibus (ANM shuttle)
Buy the ticket on board, at the airport or in the app. At Molo Beverello the hydrofoils leave for Capri, Ischia and Procida.
Taxi — fixed fare
Fixed fare per car, surcharges included: ask for it at the start of the ride — the driver cannot refuse and must give you a receipt.
Shared taxi
You share the car with other passengers on the fixed airport–station–port run. No meter.
Recommended route
Step by step: from Capodichino to the old town
- At arrivals follow the Alibus signs and buy the ticket (€5).
- Get off at Piazza Garibaldi (first stop, 15–20 minutes).
- Inside the station take the Line 1 gates (Garibaldi): 4 stops to Toledo, in the heart of the city (€1.50 ticket).
- For the Vomero hill stay on to Vanvitelli; for the Chiaia seafront take Line 6 from Municipio.
- Heading to the port and the island ferries? Stay on the Alibus to Molo Beverello.

What about the metro?
The metro is coming to the airport
The Capodichino station of Line 1 is under construction: once open, the airport will be directly linked to Centro Direzionale, Garibaldi (Central Station), via Toledo and the rest of the network — no transfers. We'll update this page as soon as an official opening date exists.
Good to know
Official taxis only
Ignore anyone offering rides inside the terminal: use only the white taxis in the official rank outside and ask for the fixed fare straight away.
Night flights
The Alibus stops around midnight and restarts at 05:30. If you land at night, your options are a fixed-fare taxi or a pre-booked transfer.
Alibus ≠ urban ticket
The Alibus needs its own €5 ticket — the €1.50 ANM single and the TIC are not valid on the shuttle.
Straight to the ferries
For Capri, Ischia and Procida the Alibus is the easiest choice: it stops right at Molo Beverello, in front of the hydrofoils.

Take the Alibus to Piazza Garibaldi and then the Circumvesuviana: read our guide Naples to Pompeii. For Sorrento and the coast, same line to the terminus.
Yes, it’s a shuttle with luggage space. At peak times it can be crowded: with more than two large suitcases the shared taxi (€6/person) is often more comfortable.
