Naples Airport Guide (NAP) 2026

The basics

Capodichino (NAP) is tiny compared to Fiumicino or Malpensa but growing fast. Increasing international routes. 6km from the city center — one of the closest city-airport connections in Italy. One terminal, simple layout.

Getting to/from Naples

Option	Time	Cost	Notes
Alibus	15-25 min	€5	To Piazza Garibaldi (Centrale station) + port. Best option.
Taxi (fixed rate)	15-20 min	€19-23	€19 to station area, €23 to seafront/Decumani.
Bus 182	25-35 min	€1.30	Local bus. Slow but cheap.
Private transfer	15-25 min	€30-50	Pre-booked, door-to-door.

Alibus — simple and reliable

Buy ticket (€5) from the tabacchi in arrivals or from the driver. The bus runs every 15-20 minutes from outside arrivals to Piazza Garibaldi (main train station, Circumvesuviana for Pompeii/Sorrento) and then the port (for Capri/Ischia ferries). Takes 15-25 minutes. Easy.

Taxi deals

Naples has fixed airport taxi rates by zone: €19 to Piazza Garibaldi/station, €23 to the historic center/seafront. These are excellent value — cheaper than many cities. Use only official white taxis from the rank.

💡 Naples airport to Sorrento/Amalfi Coast: There's no direct connection. Take the Alibus to Piazza Garibaldi (€5, 20 min), then the Circumvesuviana train to Sorrento (€4.20, 70 min). Or pre-book a private transfer directly (€90-120 to Sorrento, €130-170 to Positano). The transfer is worth it if you're arriving tired with luggage.
