How to get from Naples Airport to the city center by taxi

The official taxi from Naples Airport to central destinations starts at €21 to Napoli Centrale/Piazza Garibaldi or €24 to Piazza Municipio and the historic-center ZTL, taking around 10-20 minutes depending on traffic. The taxi rank is directly in front of Arrivals, and you must request the predetermined fare at the beginning of the journey.

Cost of a taxi from Naples Airport to the city

The official predetermined fare is €21 to Napoli Centrale/Piazza Garibaldi and €24 to Piazza Municipio, the port, and the ZTL historic center. These fixed fares already include airport, night, holiday, luggage, animal, and radio-taxi supplements, but a €5 minivan supplement and motorway tolls are excluded.

Where do I get a taxi from?

The official taxi rank is directly in front of the Arrivals area at Naples Airport. They are white and have a TAXI sign on the roof.

Convenience

Official taxis provide a fast, door-to-door journey without changing transport, making them useful for families and travelers with luggage. However, the predetermined fare must be requested before the journey starts, and traffic can make the short airport-to-city journey take longer.

Useful Tips

Naples taxi drivers are known for scams, so ask for “la tariffa predeterminata” before getting into the taxi or before the meter starts.
Ask the driver for a receipt showing the fixed fare before the journey begins.
Note the taxi license number in case you need to report a problem.
Carry some cash as a backup as not all drivers accept credit card payments.

How to get from Naples Airport to the city center by Alibus

The direct bus from Naples Airport to the city center is the Alibus Airport Shuttle, which costs €5 and connects Naples Airport directly with Napoli Centrale/Piazza Garibaldi in around 15 minutes, continuing to the port in around 35 minutes. It runs daily from approximately 05:30 until midnight, making it the fastest public transport option for central Naples.

The Alibus Shuttle is available between 05:30 and 00:00.

Where do I catch the Alibus?

The Alibus departs from the airport bus stop outside the terminal, with signs directing passengers to the service. It runs to Piazza Garibaldi/Napoli Centrale and then continues to the port, including Molo Beverello.

Convenience

Alibus is the best-value direct public transport option for travelers heading to Napoli Centrale or the port. However, it can become crowded, and passengers with large suitcases may find boarding and finding luggage space more difficult during busy periods.

How to get from Naples Airport to the city center by public bus

The 10-UC public bus costs around €1.10 and takes about 40 minutes to reach Corso Meridionale near Piazza Garibaldi, depending on traffic. It is considerably cheaper than Alibus but has a more limited schedule and is less convenient with large luggage 

How much is the metro from Naples Airport?

A 10-UC journey costs approximately €1.10, making it one of the cheapest ways to leave Naples Airport. The exact fare and ticketing arrangements should be checked with the current operator before traveling because 10-UC is operated by Air Campania rather than ANM.

See the bus website for up to date timetables as departures are limited.

Where do I catch the public bus?

The public bus stop is around 300 meters outside Arrivals, on the right after following the exit road; look for the covered shelter and information panels.

Convenience

The public bus is useful for budget travelers who have time and manageable luggage, but it is slower and less straightforward than Alibus. The route also has limited operating hours, so it is not suitable for late-night arrivals. 

Timetables

Line 10-UC

Useful Tips

Check the latest 10-UC schedule before leaving the terminal.
Keep your luggage close during the journey.
Check the bus timetable online as evening services are very limited and buses do not run on Sundays.
Alibus costs more but provides a much simpler direct airport-to-city connection.
