Arrival By Plane
Naples Capodichino Airport (NAP) is about 8km northeast of the city centre, it is southern Italy's main airport, linking Naples with most Italian and several major European cities. For getting to or from the airport, there are two possibilities: ANM bus 3S (30mins, every 15mins) from Piazza Garibaldi, or the Alibus airport bus (20mins, at least hourly) from Piazza Municipio. Alternatively you can get a taxi.
By Train
The central station of Naples is very well connected to the rest of Italy by a very frequent train service. The city is served by regionale, diretto, Intercity and the superfast Eurostar trains. They arrive and depart from Stazione Centrale (tel: 081 554 31 88) or Stazione Garibaldi (on the lower level). There are up to 30 trains daily to/from Rome.
By Sea:
Ferries and hydrofoils leave for Capri, Sorrento, Ischia, Procida and Forio from Molo Beverello in front of the Castel Nuovo. Longer-distance ferries for Palermo, Cagliari, Milazzo, the Aeolian Islands (Isole Eolie) and Tunisia leave from the Stazione Marittima, next to Molo Beverello. Alilauro and SNAV also operate hydrofoils to Ischia, Procida and Capri from Mergellina. Tickets for shorter journeys can be bought at the ticket booths on Molo Beverello and at Mergellina. For longer journeys try the offices of the ferry companies or travel agents.
By Car
Naples is on the major north-south Autostrada del Sole, numbered A1 (north to Rome and Milan) and A3 (south to Salerno and Reggio di Calabria). The A30 skirts Naples to the northeast, while the A16 heads northeast to Bari.
Churches and Museums
The National Archaeological Museum houses one of the best Greek and Roman artefact collections, including the mosaics and sculptures from Pompeii and Herculaneum and the impressive Farnese antiques. On the mezzanine levels, visitors will be able to see stunning works of art such as the Battle of Alexander - regarded as the finest depiction of the great Macedonian emperor.
National Museum & Gallery of the Capodimonte (Naples)
Two of the finest museums and galleries of Italy, the National Museum & Gallery of the Capodimonte are housed in the 18th century Capodimonte Palace, set amidst a scenic park. Large tapestries depicting battle scenes, stunning works of art of the Renaissance period, Venetian sedan chairs, ivory carvings, Farnese armoury as well as a glass and china collection are all housed in this museum and gallery.
Places of Interests
Solfatara volcano
Four kilometres away is the impressive Solfatara volcano. Previously considered by the ancients to be an entrance to Hell, it is now rather more benign but still noted for its explosions of sulphuric gases, carbon vapours and small eruptions of boiling mud.
In the middle of the mountains standing in the background of the towns of Avellino and Benevento, and overlooking the Vesuvius, a thousand years old warden of the History and Culture of Campania, lay the imperial ruins of Pompeii and the still buried treasures of Herculaneum, destinations which cannot be missed.
