The International Aereoporto di Capodichino, in Naples, is one of the most modern and efficient airports in the country. The winner in 2017 of the '5-10 Million Passenger Best Airport' Category in Europe.
Naples is well connected via both direct and connecting flights to all the main European cities, USA, South America, Middle East, Africa and Asian countries
All of European's principal cities are located within two-hour flight time and the whole of continental Europe is within four hours of Naples.
The Naples International Airport is located in the suburb of San Pietro a Patierno, around 4 km from Naples city center. It is the largest airport in southern
Italy, with around 140 national and international flights arriving or departing daily.
The Naples Alibus Airport Shuttle transports passengers between Naples Capodichino Airport, the
Central Train Station and Naples Molo Beverello Port. Stopping only at these three locations, it is a
cheaper alternative to taking a taxi and more convenient then using the city buses. The Naples Alibus
Airport Shuttle runs daily with departures every 20 to 30 minutes. Alibus Airport Shuttle connects
Airport of Naples to the city centre in 30 minutes. UnicoAlibus tickets purchased on board the
Alibus are €5.
Naples' streets are famously narrow (it was the first city in the world to set up a pedestrian one-way
street), so the general public commonly use compact hatchback cars and scooters for personal transit.
However, Naples has an extensive public transport network, including trams, buses, funiculars
and trolleybuses, most of which are operated by the municipally owned
company Azienda Napoletana Mobilitá (ANM). Three public elevators are in
operation in the city – one within the bridge of Chiaia, one in via Acton and
one near the Sanitá Bridge. The city furthermore operates the Naples
Metro, an underground rapid transit railway system which integrates both
surface railway lines and the city's metro stations. Suburban rail services
are provided by Trenitalia, Circumvesuviana, Ferrovia Cumana and MetroNaples.
Tickets, named Ticket integrato Campania (TIC), are valid for 90 minutes
on all forms of transport within the city, cost €1.50, and can be purchased
at Tabacchi (tobacco shops) or newsstands. A daily pass is €4.50.
Transportation in Naples is also Art. The Art Stations of Naples Metro are some stops of Naples Metro, in which special attention was
paid to making the environment beautiful, comfortable and functional.
With the construction and expansion of numerous metro lines the municipality of Naples developed
the project Stations of Art (also known as Hundred Stations Plan), with which it was intended to entrust
the planning of metro stops to well-known contemporary artists and architects.
The Art Stations, distributed along the lines 1 and 6 of the Metro network, include more than 180
pieces of art created by 90 international authors and by some young local architects, allowing them
to combine different architectural styles. On November 30, 2012, the Toledo station was eliged as
the most beautiful of Europe by the Daily Telegraph.
