Getting from Naples Airport to City Centre

If you’re travelling alone or on a budget, taking the Alibus Shuttle is a solid alternative transfer option. Buses leave every 20 to 30 minutes from the airport bus station.

The total journey time from Naples Airport to ‘Piazza Garibaldi’ takes around 15 minutes with no additional stops.

A one-way ticket from Naples Airport to the city centre costs just €5.

You can purchase your tickets online in advance, directly from the bus driver, from the ticket machines close to the Arrivals terminal exit, or from the Tabacaria Sun Store.

Note that your ticket is only valid for 90 minutes after you purchase and validate it, excluding online reservations, so it is advised to work out the bus times before you buy one. 

If you’re on a tight budget or have a little more time to spare, taking the Alibus Shuttle may be a good option. However, once you arrive at the Piazza Garibaldi Station, you will need to find another mode of transport to reach your hotel.

Additionally, the shuttle bus can get busy during peak season so you may be subject to long waiting times and a crowded bus.

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.

The one-way ticket from Naples Airport to the city centre costs €1.10 and you can buy it directly on the bus from the bus driver with both a card or cash.

The ticket has a time limit and is valid for around 90 minutes after validation, so you can re-use it if you need to hop on another bus to reach your hotel.

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.
