02 · The visitor backbone
Line 1: Centro Direzionale to Piscinola
ANM Line 1 makes a long curve from the business district through Napoli Centrale, the historic centre, the port, Via Toledo, the archaeological museum, Vomero and the hospital zone before reaching Piscinola. Its central stations are also part of Naples’ celebrated public-art programme.
All Line 1 stations, in order
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 → Piscinola.

- DuomoHolidays a Napule, Piazza Nicola Amore, cathedral and eastern historic centre.
- MunicipioLine 6 interchange, Molo Beverello, cruise/ferry port, Castel Nuovo and Town Hall.
- ToledoVia Toledo, Quartieri Spagnoli and an internationally known art-station interior.
- MuseoNational Archaeological Museum; corridor to Line 2 at Piazza Cavour.
- VanvitelliVomero centre; short surface links to the Centrale and Chiaia funicular upper stations.
- PiscinolaInterchange with EAV Metro Arcobaleno toward Mugnano, Giugliano and Aversa.
Current ANM service normally begins around 06:00. Sunday–Thursday service finishes around 23:00, with later Friday and Saturday trains. Always check the official Line 1 timetable on the day because works, events and strikes can alter service.
03 · The east–west railway
Line 2: the Trenitalia cross-city line
Line 2 is a metropolitan railway operated by Trenitalia, not ANM. It connects the eastern city with Garibaldi, the museum area, Montesanto, Chiaia, Mergellina, Fuorigrotta, Bagnoli and Pozzuoli. Train destinations may extend beyond the core metro section, so read platform screens as well as the “Line 2” label.
Core stations, east to west
Napoli San Giovanni-Barra → Gianturco → Napoli Piazza Garibaldi → Napoli Piazza Cavour → Napoli Montesanto → Napoli Piazza Amedeo → Napoli Mergellina → Napoli Piazza Leopardi → Napoli Campi Flegrei → Cavalleggeri Aosta → Bagnoli-Agnano Terme → Pozzuoli Solfatara.
Use Line 2 for the stadium and Mostra d’Oltremare at Campi Flegrei, Chiaia via Piazza Amedeo, western waterfront connections at Mergellina and Pozzuoli. The official Trenitalia Line 2 page lists current service details.
04 · Waterfront to Fuorigrotta
Line 6: Municipio to Mostra
Line 6 links the port area with Chiaia, the Riviera, Mergellina and Fuorigrotta. It is operated by ANM and opened across its full current route in 2024. The architecture and site-specific installations make the newer stations worth seeing in their own right.
All Line 6 stations, in order
Municipio → Chiaia → San Pasquale → Arco Mirelli → Mergellina → Lala → Augusto → Mostra.
Key changes are at Municipio for Line 1, Mergellina for Line 2 and Mostra for EAV Cumana plus the nearby Line 2 station at Campi Flegrei. The current published timetable is daytime-only—roughly 07:30 to 14:50—with a frequency around 14 minutes. Verify the official Line 6 timetable before relying on it later in the day.

06 · Climb without the climb
The four Naples funiculars
ANM’s hill railways are part of the everyday network, not tourist rides. A valid ANM or appropriate integrated ticket covers them.
- CentraleAugusteo ↔ Corso Vittorio Emanuele ↔ Petraio ↔ Piazza Fuga. Best central route from Via Toledo to Vomero.
- ChiaiaParco Margherita ↔ Corso Vittorio Emanuele ↔ Palazzolo ↔ Cimarosa. Links Chiaia with upper Vomero.
- MontesantoMontesanto ↔ Corso Vittorio Emanuele ↔ Morghen. Convenient for San Martino and Sant’Elmo.
- MergellinaMergellina ↔ Sant’Antonio ↔ San Gioacchino ↔ Parco Angelina ↔ Manzoni. Useful for the western hills.
ANM reports full accessibility at Centrale, Chiaia and Montesanto stations; Mergellina is not yet fully accessible. Check the official funicular status for maintenance closures.
07 · Beyond the city network
EAV regional rail connections
Circumvesuviana from Porta Nolana or Garibaldi
These lines run around Vesuvius toward destinations including Ercolano, Pompeii and Sorrento, plus routes toward Sarno, Baiano and Acerra. They use separate EAV platforms below or near the main station complex.
Cumana from Montesanto
The coastal western line serves Fuorigrotta, Bagnoli, Pozzuoli and Torregaveta. It also connects with Line 6 at Mostra.
Circumflegrea from Montesanto
The inland western route runs via Pianura and Quarto toward Licola/Torregaveta, depending on current service patterns.
Metro Arcobaleno from Piscinola
EAV’s northern metro continues through Mugnano and Giugliano to Aversa. Change from ANM Line 1 at Piscinola.
Regional works can cause bus replacements. Check the official EAV rail timetable page immediately before a day trip.
08 · Choose the right fare
Naples Metro tickets and prices
These headline urban fares were checked in October 2026. Fares can change, so confirm on the official ANM ticket page before travel.
| Ticket | Current fare | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| ANM single ride, Level 1 | €1.30 | One trip on urban buses or funiculars; not the Line 1/6 metro ticket. |
| ANM single ride, Level 2 | €1.50 | One journey on ANM Metro Line 1 or Line 6. |
| Integrated urban, 90 minutes | €1.80 | Transfers between eligible operators/services within the time limit. |
| ANM daily | €4.50 | Unlimited ANM travel until midnight on the day of validation. |
| Integrated urban daily | €5.40 | Multiple operators in the Naples urban area until midnight. |
The simple decision: if you only need Line 1 or Line 6, buy the €1.50 ANM metro single. If you will change to Trenitalia Line 2, EAV or another operator, ask for the correct integrated or operator-specific ticket for the complete journey. Extra-urban travel to Pompeii, Sorrento or Pozzuoli uses destination-based fares.
09 · Before the gate
Where to buy a Naples Metro ticket
Ticket machines
Automatic machines are inside Metro Line 1, Line 6 and funicular stations. Select English and check the ticket name before paying.
ANM Points
Staffed points at places including Garibaldi and Municipio sell main tickets and provide route information.
Authorised retailers
Look for UnicoCampania-authorised tabacchi, newsstands and bars. State your destination and whether you need a transfer.
Official apps
ANM Go and UnicoCampania sell urban tickets. Activate digital tickets exactly as the app instructs before the gate.
Tap&Go
Enabled on ANM Line 1, Line 6 and funiculars. Use the same physical card or phone throughout; do not mix a card with its mobile-wallet version.
Trenitalia channels
Buy Line 2 tickets from station machines, Trenitalia counters or the Trenitalia app, or use a valid integrated urban ticket.
Validate paper tickets before travel and keep every ticket until you have fully exited. Tap&Go on ANM does not mean you can automatically tap the same way on a Trenitalia Line 2 gate—check the reader and signage at the operator change.

11 · Quick answers
Naples Metro FAQ
Can I use a contactless bank card?
Yes at Tap&Go-enabled ANM gates on Lines 1 and 6 and the funiculars. Use one card or one device consistently. Line 2 is run by Trenitalia, so do not assume the ANM tap automatically covers that transfer.
Is Duomo station the nearest station to the apartment?
Yes. Duomo on Line 1 is approximately ten metres from Palazzo Nanà at Piazza Nicola Amore 2.
Does the Metro run to Naples Airport?
Not yet. Use Alibus or an authorised taxi. Alibus connects the airport with Garibaldi/Central Station and the port; from Garibaldi, Line 1 runs one stop to Duomo.
Which ticket covers different companies?
An integrated TIC/UnicoCampania ticket is designed for eligible transfers between operators in the stated zone and time. Tell the app or seller your entire route so you receive the correct ticket.
Are Metro stations accessible?
ANM says Line 1 stations have dedicated accessible paths, but individual lifts and escalators may be under maintenance. Line 2 accessibility varies by station. Check operator accessibility updates before travelling.
