How Naples’ transport network is organised
Naples public transport brings together urban metro and road services with separate regional rail operators. ANM (Azienda Napoletana Mobilità) runs Metro Lines 1 and 6, four funiculars, and tram, bus and trolleybus services. Trenitalia operates Metro Line 2, while EAV group services include the Cumana, Circumflegrea, Circumvesuviana and MetroCampaniaNordEst.
Line 1 is a useful route across the city: it runs between Piscinola/Scampia in the north and Centro Direzionale, passing through Vomero and the historic centre. Along the way, it connects with the port at Municipio and national and high-speed rail services at Garibaldi.
ANM lists 20 stations on Line 1: Centro Direzionale, Garibaldi, Duomo, Università, Municipio, Toledo, Dante, Museo, Materdei, Salvator Rosa, Quattro Giornate, Vanvitelli, Medaglie d’Oro, Montedonzelli, Rione Alto, Policlinico, Colli Aminei, Frullone, Chiaiano and Piscinola. For your route, use the Naples day itinerary from the historic centre to pair transport planning with a day in the city.
ANM describes its local network as supported by intermodal escalators, lifts and interchange parking. For accessible travel on Line 1, the operator says stations have dedicated accessible routes and Braille signage; onboard and station staff can assist disabled passengers in stations and on platforms.
Which metro stations are near Naples’ historic centre?
Duomo, Napoli Piazza Cavour and Museo are useful stations for the historic centre. Napoli Piazza Cavour is about 12 minutes away on foot, and Museo is about 15 minutes.
Duomo and Museo are Line 1 stations. Cavour is on Line 2, and it is a separate station from Museo despite the two serving the same broader area around the National Archaeological Museum. ANM’s map shows Line 1 at Museo and Line 2 at Cavour, with both identified as nearby rail connections to the National Archaeological Museum (MANN).
The C56 bus also connects Piazza Cavour with Via Foria by MANN and Piazza Garibaldi. This gives you a surface option between the museum area and Garibaldi, where Line 1 connects with national and high-speed rail. For the airport leg of a trip, see how to get from Naples Airport to the historic centre.
What tickets and passes can you use?
ANM’s fare system distinguishes between urban journeys within Naples municipality and journeys that use suburban routes or EAV and Trenitalia rail services. Level 1 applies to urban routes, while Level 2 applies to city journeys on suburban lines and on EAV or Trenitalia rail services.
ANM publishes these Naples Urban A fares:
- Level 1 single ride: €1.30; Level 2 single ride: €1.50.
- Integrated 90-minute ticket: €1.80.
- Daily ticket: €4.50 for an ANM company ticket or €5.40 integrated.
- Weekly ticket: €12.50 for ANM or €16.00 integrated.
- Monthly pass: €35.00 for ANM or €42.00 integrated.
- Ordinary annual pass: €235.20 for ANM or €294.00 integrated.
ANM lists single-ride, hourly, daily, seven-day, monthly and annual ticket or subscription types. A daily ticket allows unlimited journeys until midnight on its validation day. A seven-day ticket remains valid until midnight on the sixth day after first validation.
You can buy ANM and integrated tickets at ANM Points, from authorized Unico Campania resellers, at ticket machines inside metro and funicular stations, or through the ANM Go and UnicoCampania apps.
If you use a paper ticket or pass, validate it on the relevant validator each time you board a metro, funicular, tram, bus or trolleybus, including when changing vehicles.
For Line 1 metro and funicular turnstiles, ANM says digital single tickets or subscriptions must be shown to staff at the gates. Activate a digital ticket in the app before boarding.
How do you plan a journey across the city?
Start by checking which operator runs the service you need, then match the fare to your route. Trips that begin and end within Naples municipality use the urban fare category; journeys on suburban lines or EAV and Trenitalia rail services fall under Level 2 in ANM’s fare descriptions.
For Line 1, the station sequence can help you orient yourself: Duomo, Università, Municipio, Toledo, Dante and Museo serve central areas before the line continues through neighbourhoods such as Vomero and on towards Piscinola.
At Garibaldi, you can connect with national and high-speed rail. If you’re planning a wider excursion, the guide to train routes and day-trip planning for Pompeii covers that trip separately.
Allow time to validate whenever you change vehicles, and confirm that an integrated ticket matches the services in your itinerary. For a digital ticket at a Line 1 or funicular gate, have the activated ticket ready to show staff.
Before you go: fares, operating information and service details can change, so check the official site before you go. For metro, bus and ticket information, use ANM; for Line 2, check Trenitalia, and for regional services check the relevant EAV operator.
