When travelling from Naples Airport to the city centre, you have several different transfer options; taxi, private transfer, shuttle bus, or public bus. Taking an airport taxi or private transfer may be slightly more expensive, but it’s definitely the most convenient way to travel as they are available 24/7 and rides are door-to-door.
If you’re on a budget, taking the Alibus Shuttle may be a good option for you. Departing from the airport every 20 to 30 minutes, the shuttle gets you to central Naples in just 15 minutes. An even cheaper choice is the local 10-UC bus. However, it is much less reliable, slower, and often crowded.

The most budget-friendly way to travel from Naples Airport to the city centre is via the Interlocal 10-UC bus line. It departs from Caserta, a small town outside Naples, passes through the airport, and leaves passengers at ‘Corso Meridionale – Terminale’ in the city centre, close to ‘Piazza Garibaldi’.
The bus journey takes approximately 40 minutes, with around 4 stops between the airport and Piazza Garibaldi including ‘Via Don Bosco’, ‘Piazza Carlo III – Via S. Alfonso Dei Liguori’, and ‘Via Arenaccia – Corso Novara’. All of these stops are located within Naples, so we recommend checking which is closest to your final destination.

Convenience
If your budget is very limited, you can try taking this bus. However, services are limited so you may have to wait a while for the next bus. On top of that, the bus stop is located outside the main airport complex which means you’ll have to walk a bit.
Finally, the public buses don’t have luggage space and are used a lot by locals. This can cause crowded services and means you may have to stand and hold your luggage.
