By Air
Capodichino International Airport
Those coming to Naples from overseas will probably opt to fly into the Capodichino International Airport, the city’s main airport where a number of direct international flights arrive and depart daily. The airport is less than 30 minutes from the city centre that can be reached by taxi or with the Alibus shuttle bus service.
The taxi stand is at the arrivals exit at the airport; licensed taxis are parked in a row and are white. Do not take a taxi from those who solicit business from inside the airport terminal as they are not licensed taxi drivers. Once you are on board, request the fixed airport fare immediately; the fixed fare for the city center should be between EUR 18 and EUR 25, depending upon your final destination. The taxi fares are displayed on the front seat back, so you can check the prices.
Alibus is the shuttle bus service that runs between the airport and Piazza Garibaldi and the port in central Naples. A ticket costs 5 € and can be purchased online, onboard or at the info point in the arrivals area of the airport.
