Naples, the picturesque city in the south of Italy, offers its residents and visitors a well-developed network of public transportation that makes it easy to explore the city and its surroundings. Here is an informative overview of the different means of transportation, their operating hours and their range.
The Naples metro is one of the most efficient ways to get around the city. It consists of two lines: Line 1 (red) and Line 2 (blue). The subway runs daily from about 6:00 am to midnight. Note, however, that operating hours may change slightly on weekends and holidays.
Naples has an extensive bus network that covers almost all parts of the city. Buses are a convenient option for getting to places not directly served by the subway. Bus operating hours vary by line, but are usually between 5:30 am and 11:00 pm.
The Tram in Naples is another way to get around within the city. However, they are limited to certain routes and are less common than buses and subways. Hours of operation are similar to buses and vary by line.
Naples is known for its funicolare, the funicular railroads that connect hilltop neighborhoods to the city center. They provide not only efficient transportation, but also breathtaking views of the city. Hours of operation vary by route, but usually start early in the morning and end late in the evening.
Public transportation in Naples also provides connections to many places outside the city.To reach Pompeii or Herculaneum (Ercolano), which are located at some distance from Naples, you will need to buy a separate ticket. The best way is taking a train towards Salerno. For this purpose, the company Trenitalia is responsible, which offers favorable fares to travelers. Naples' main train station, Napoli Centrale, is an important transportation hub for regional and interregional travel.
