Practical guide
Know before you go
Short, straight answers to the questions every Naples visitor asks before booking.
The sweet-spot months
Spring (April–June) and early autumn (September–October) bring warm, pleasant weather — the best times to visit.
Spring (Apr–Jun)
Mild, sunny days ideal for the city, Pompeii and the coast, before the summer heat and crowds.
Summer (Jul–Aug)
Hot and busy, great for the islands and beaches but sweltering at Pompeii; start early and carry water.
Autumn (Sep–Oct)
Warm sea, thinner crowds and golden light — a wonderful time for the bay and the coast.
Winter (Nov–Feb)
Mild but rainier, with the fewest crowds and lowest prices; some island services run reduced.
Shoulder season
May, June, September and October balance good weather with fewer crowds — ideal for day trips.
One day
Enough for the historic centre, a real pizza and Naples Underground.
Two days
Add a Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius day trip.
Three days
The sweet spot: the city, Pompeii and Vesuvius, and the Amalfi Coast or Capri.
Four to five days
Add Herculaneum, both Capri and Amalfi, and the Royal Palace of Caserta.
A week or more
Use Naples as a base for the whole Bay of Naples and the coast.
Travelling with kids
Mix a pizza class, the underground and Pompeii at a gentle pace.
On foot
The historic centre is best explored on foot, though its narrow, busy streets demand attention and care with belongings.
Metro & funiculars
The metro (with its art-filled stations) and funiculars climb the hills; a day ticket covers city transport.
Circumvesuviana
The Circumvesuviana train links Naples to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Sorrento — the key line for the bay’s ruins and coast.
Ferries & hydrofoils
Fast ferries from the port reach Capri, Ischia and the Amalfi Coast — a scenic way to the islands.
Day-trip transport
Tours bundle transport for Pompeii, Vesuvius, the Amalfi Coast and Capri, avoiding the busy local connections.
From the airport
Naples Airport links to the centre and port by the Alibus shuttle in about 15–25 minutes.
Book Pompeii & day trips ahead
Popular Pompeii, Amalfi and Capri tours fill up — book ahead, especially in spring and summer.
Mind your belongings
Naples is lively; guard against pickpockets in crowds, on transport and around the station — keep bags zipped and close.
Currency & value
Italy uses the euro; Naples is excellent value, with cheap, superb pizza and street food.
Eat real pizza
Try a classic Margherita at a historic pizzeria; a food tour points you to the best, away from the tourist spots.
Pompeii in the heat
Pompeii has little shade — visit early or late in summer, wear a hat and sturdy shoes, and carry water.
Check the sea for Capri
The Blue Grotto and some boat trips depend on calm seas, so build in flexibility for island day trips.
Pompeii & Herculaneum
Guided tours and skip-the-line entry fill up — book ahead.
Mount Vesuvius
Crater access is timed and tours sell out — reserve early.
Amalfi Coast & Capri
Popular full-day coast and island trips fill up — book ahead.
Pizza & food tours
Small-group tastings and pizza classes have limited places — reserve early.
Underground tours

City & food tours

Pompeii & Vesuvius
About €50–90 for a combined Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius day trip.
Amalfi Coast & Capri
Around €70–130 for a full-day coast or island trip with transport or boat.
Underground tours
About €12–25 for Naples Underground or a catacombs visit.
How to save
Eat cheap, superb street pizza, use the Circumvesuviana for Pompeii, and join group day trips.
