Practical tips

💡
Check the Naples port on your ticket

Naples has several ferry points, including Molo Beverello and Calata Porta di Massa. Read your ticket or confirmation carefully and note the exact port before you leave, so you do not end up on the wrong side of the waterfront.

💡
Book ahead in summer

Summer crossings to and from Capri fill up quickly, especially mid-morning departures and the last boats back. Book online in advance for instant confirmation rather than hoping for a seat at the quayside on the day.

💡
Compare departures before you pay

Fares vary by boat type and time of day. Look at the table on this page, compare the available departures, and book early to avoid paying more for a last-minute seat when a cheaper crossing was available.

💡
Leave a buffer for onward connections

If you have a train, flight or hotel check-in after landing, do not take the last possible boat. Allow time to disembark, reach the city centre and handle any delay, especially in busy periods.

💡
Watch the sea conditions

Rough weather can delay or cancel crossings, particularly outside the summer months. Check your booking and the operator's notices on the morning of travel, and avoid planning a tight same-day connection if the forecast looks poor.

The journey experience

For Capri to Naples, the ferry is the option to focus on. You cross the Bay of Naples by sea, so there is no need to weigh up station changes or coach stops. The live table on this page shows times and prices side by side, so you can see at a glance what suits your day.

The crossing is simple and comfortable. You board at the island's main port, find a seat inside or on the open deck, and watch Vesuvius and the Sorrento peninsula slide past. Boats are used by day-trippers, commuters and independent travellers alike, and luggage is easy to bring on board. Several types of vessel serve the route, from larger ferries to faster craft, so compare departures and pick the one that fits your schedule and budget.

Your main worry is probably the port. Naples has more than one, and the departure point on your ticket matters, so check it before you leave. In high season, book your crossing ahead, especially for the last boats of the evening, and keep a margin if you have a train or flight to catch afterwards. If the sea is rough, services can change, so look at your booking on the day. With a little planning, this is one of the easiest island trips in Italy.

What to do in Naples?

Local experiences, must-see sights and activities selected for you

MUST-SEE
🍕
Pizza at a historic pizzeria
Naples is the birthplace of pizza. Head to L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele or Sorbillo for a true Margherita, usually 5-8€. Arrive before 12:00 or around 18:30 to avoid queues of an hour or more, and take a ticket at the door. Locals eat it folded, a portafoglio.
🌋
Climb Mount Vesuvius
Take the Vesuvio Express shuttle from Pompeii or a bus from Ercolano to reach the car park at 1,000 m, then walk 20-30 minutes to the crater rim. Entry is about 12€ and booking online is required. Go in the morning for clearer views over the bay, and wear proper shoes.
🏛️
Pompeii archaeological site
Reachable in 35 minutes on the Circumvesuviana train from Naples Garibaldi (about 3€). The ticket is around 18€. Plan at least 3 hours, arrive at opening to beat the heat and tour groups, and bring water since shade is scarce. Don't miss the Villa dei Misteri and the Lupanare.
🎨
National Archaeological Museum
Houses the best finds from Pompeii and Herculaneum, including the Alexander Mosaic and the Farnese collection. Entry is about 22€ and the museum is closed on Tuesdays. Visiting it before Pompeii gives helpful context. Allow 2 to 3 hours, and check the Secret Cabinet of erotic art.
🕳️
Napoli Sotterranea underground tour
Descend 40 m below the historic centre into Greek-Roman aqueducts and WWII air-raid shelters. Guided tours last about 80 minutes and cost around 15€, with English departures several times a day. It stays at about 17°C, so bring a light jacket. Book ahead on weekends.
☕
Espresso and sfogliatella ritual
Drink your coffee standing at the bar like a local: an espresso costs about 1.20€. Try Gran Caffè Gambrinus on Piazza Plebiscito or the more modest Caffè Mexico. Pair it with a warm sfogliatella riccia from Attanasio, near the station, for about 2,50€.
🌅
Sunset at Posillipo and Gaiola
Take the metro and bus, or a taxi, to Parco Sommerso di Gaiola, a marine protected area with clear water and a small islet. Walk along Via Posillipo for sweeping views of Vesuvius and Capri. Come at golden hour. Swimming is free, and boat tours of the reserve cost around 15€.
⛪
Cappella Sansevero and Veiled Christ
A small baroque chapel hiding Giuseppe Sanmartino's astonishing Veiled Christ, a marble sculpture with a seemingly translucent shroud. Tickets cost about 10€ and sell out, so book online several days ahead. The visit takes 30 minutes. Photography is not allowed inside.

How long to visit Naples?

2 to 4 days

Plan 3 to 4 days in Naples: it's long enough to cover the historic centre, the National Archaeological Museum, Spaccanapoli and the street food scene at a relaxed pace. With 2 days, stick to the centre and the museum, plus Pompeii or Herculaneum as a half-day trip. With 4 days or more, add Vesuvius, Capri or the Amalfi Coast; book Pompeii tickets online and use the Circumvesuviana train rather than a tour.
