TICKETS PLEASE
Tickets for public transport in Naples and the surrounding Campania region are managed by Unico Campania

Amalfi and Maiori, which runs from April to October.
Getting Around
TO/FROM THE AIRPORT
By public transport you can catch the Alibus ( 800 639525; www.unicocampania.it ) airport shuttle
(€3, 45 minutes, every 20 to 30 minutes) to/from Molo Beverello or Piazza Garibaldi.
Tickets are available on board.
Official taxi fares to the airport are as follows: €23 from a seafront hotel or from the
Mergellina hydrofoil terminal; €19 from Piazza del Municipio; and €15.50 from Stazione
Centrale.
BUS
In Naples, buses are operated by the city transport company ANM ( 800 639525; www.anm.it ) .
There's no central bus station, but most buses pass through Piazza Garibaldi, the city's
chaotic transport hub. To locate your bus stop you'll probably need to ask at the informa-
tion kiosk in the centre of the square.
CAR & MOTORCYCLE
Vehicle theft and anarchic traffic make driving in Naples a bad option.
Officially much of the city centre is closed to nonresident traffic for much of the day.
Daily restrictions are in place in the centro storico, in the area around Piazza del Munici-
pio and Via Toledo, and in the Chiaia district. Hours vary but are typically from 7am to
6pm, possibly later.
