Naples Capodichino Airport - Flight Information and Guide (NAP)

How to get to Naples Capodichino Airport

Reaching Naples airport is extremely straightforward thanks to its central urban location.

By Car

Direct access from the 'Aeroporto' exit on the Naples Ring Road (A56).

By Train

Metro: a dedicated station is under construction; it is not yet active.
Train: the railway is reached via the Alibus bus, which connects the airport to the Central Station.

By Bus

The Alibus connects the airport with the Central Station and the Port at intervals of 15-20 minutes.

💡

Tips Purchase Alibus ticket online or with contactless payment onboard to avoid queues at automatic dispensers. For the Amalfi Coast, consider taking a ferry from Naples port (Molo Beverello) instead of driving: the coastal highway is often heavily congested in high season.

There is no direct connection: it is best to reach Naples port (Molo Beverello) with the Alibus and continue by ferry, often more convenient than car given the busy coastal highway.

Hotels near Naples Capodichino Airport

Capodichino is about 6 km from the centre of Naples and has no rail link: the Alibus reaches Piazza Garibaldi in 20-30 minutes and, with more traffic, Piazza Municipio in 30-35. Those who want to stay on the direct axis between the airport and the centre, with the Museo Archeologico just steps away, can choose the Piazza Cavour area. Those aiming for Spaccanapoli, Toledo and the seafront do better to sleep in the historic centre, from where the Alibus departs for the return trip. The Vomero, higher up and quieter, is reached from the centre by the Funicolare Centrale in just a few minutes.
