05 Getting to Naples Two Easy Options
Option A — Quickest

Cumana Line

Walk 3–4 min to Gerolomini Station. Takes you directly to Montesanto in the heart of Naples.

Option B — Scenic

Metro Line 2

Walk 10 min uphill to Pozzuoli Solfatara (Linea 2). Also connects to Montesanto, or hop off earlier to explore the seaside.

Host's Tip

On the Metro, get off at Leopardi station and walk down Via dei Mille and Via Roma through the elegant Chiaia neighbourhood to Piazza del Plebiscito and Via Toledo. A wonderful way to experience the city.
