The most efficient way to get from Naples International Airport (Capodichino) to the city centre in 2026 is the Alibus shuttle service. This dedicated bus runs every 15 to 25 minutes and makes three key stops: Piazza Garibaldi (Napoli Centrale train station), Immacolatella/Porta di Massa, and Molo Beverello (the ferry port). A one-way ticket costs approximately €5 to €6 and can be purchased directly from the driver or via the UnicoCampania app. For a more direct, door-to-door experience, official taxis are available at a fixed rate (predetermined by the city) of roughly €22 to €30 to major central districts, including the Port and the historic center; it is vital to ask for the "Tariffa Predeterminata" before the journey begins. While the new Metro Line 1 station at the airport is under development, as of 2026, the Alibus and licensed taxis remain the primary links for the short, 6-kilometer journey into the heart of Naples.
