How to get around during closures

Anyone who needs to reach Capodichino airport or a hospital during work nights should allow at least 30 minutes of time: the diversions pass through urban roads such as Via Oreste Salomone , Via Nuova del Campo and Piazza Medaglie d'Oro , all with traffic lights and heavy traffic.

On the public transportation front, the metro lines 1 and 2 remain useful , while night buses only cover certain routes. If you leave your car in the city, it's a good idea to first study where to park in Naples and the rules of the restricted traffic zone (ZTL) for tourists . For the airport, the information on Alibus, taxis, and shuttles from the airport to the city center is useful , along with useful taxi numbers and apps, as well as charging costs for electric cars.

For those traveling by rail or alternative means, the guide to tickets and passes for public transportation in Naples remains the reference , along with options for renting bicycles, scooters, and e-scooters . Nighttime diversions also include Agnano , Pozzuoli , and the Campi Flegrei area : if your plan includes a visit to those areas, it's a good idea to first read the guide to Campi Flegrei and the information on Rione Terra in Pozzuoli . Keeping handy information on pharmacies on duty and how to access the emergency room is also a good idea.
