Naples transport is gorgeous underground, chaotic on the surface. The art stations are worth visiting even if you're not going anywhere.
Plan your Italy trip →TIC (single ride): €1.30 (90 minutes, all modes). Daily: €4.50. Weekly: €15.80. Buy at tabacchi, station machines, or the Unico Campania app. The same ticket works on metro, bus, funicular, and the Circumvesuviana to Pompeii (within zone limits).
Naples' Metro Line 1 is a functioning art museum. Toledo station was named the most beautiful metro station in Europe — deep blue mosaic walls that make you feel underwater. Università station has Karim Rashid's neon-colored panels. Dante station features avant-garde installations. Ride the full line just to see the stations.
Line 1 runs through the city center: Garibaldi (central station) → Dante → Toledo → Municipio (port) → and onwards. Frequency: every 8-12 minutes. Not exactly Swiss precision, but functional.
Naples has 4 funicular railways climbing from the city center up to the Vomero hill. The Funicolare Centrale (from Via Toledo to Piazza Fuga) is the most useful — it gets you to Castel Sant'Elmo and the San Martino museum with panoramic views over the entire bay. €1.30 same ticket.
Exist. Sometimes arrive. Naples buses are not reliable — traffic, double-parking, and general chaos make schedules theoretical. Use the metro and funiculars where possible. For the coast (Posillipo), bus routes 140 and C21 are the only option and worth the adventure.
