Naples Metro Line 1 will close early from May 11 to 14, 2026.
Da Monday, May 11, to Thursday, May 14, 2026 la Metro Line 1 of Naples brings forward the evening closing to allow for business activities online inspection and maintenance and material evidence. This was communicated by ANM, which indicated the timetables of the last scheduled trips on the days affected by the service change.
For four consecutive evenings, those using Line 1 will therefore have to plan their journeys taking into account the early departure of trains from regular service. The last journeys will depart from Piscinola at 20:46 and the Business Center at 1.04pm.
When does the Naples Metro Line 1 close first?
Naples Metro Line 1 will close early from Monday, May 11, to Thursday, May 14, 2026., with an evening change affecting the last trains of the day. The change doesn't affect just one day, but four consecutive evenings, so those who regularly use the subway after dinner, to return from work, or to travel between the city center, the hills, and the northern area, should check the timetable carefully before traveling.
The advance of the closure was communicated by ANM To allow for technical work on the line and equipment testing. The most important point for passengers is not to rely on regular timetables, because on those days the evening time slots will be tighter. The practical answer is clear: from 11 to 14 May 2026, Line 1 will run its last journeys earlier, with final departure from Piscinola at 8.46pm and from Centro Direzionale at 9.16pm..
Those who need to reach interchange stations, evening appointments, return from work, or make connections with other means of transport should allow more time, because even a minimal delay on reaching the station can mean missing the last available train.
What are the times of the last races?
The last Metro Line 1 runs on the days of early closure will depart from Piscinola at 8.46pm and from Centro Direzionale at 9.16pm.These are the only times communicated by ANM for the change between Monday 11 and Thursday 14 May 2026, so they should be used as the primary reference for planning evening travel.
The difference between the two termini is important: those who start from Piscinola its last train is the one of 20:46, while those who leave from Centro Direzionale can count on the last race of the 21:16The most common risk, in situations like this, is to think that the last train leaves at the same time in both directions, but this is not the case.
To avoid mistakes, always check the departure terminus: Piscinola and Centro Direzionale have different final times, and the last available train depends on the direction of travel.Those boarding from an intermediate station should arrive at the platform early, as the time indicated refers to departure from the terminus, not necessarily to passing through each individual stop.
Why is Line 1 closing early?
The early closure is to allow for on-line inspection and maintenance activities and material testing., according to what was communicated by ANM. This is therefore not a change linked to a strike or an unexpected interruption, but a planned intervention that requires the reduction of evening service for some days.
On-line maintenance is a necessary part of metro operation, as it allows for technical inspections, operational checks, and activities that cannot always be performed during normal operations with passengers on board. Material testing, likewise, requires time and conditions compatible with safety and service organization.
The fact to keep in mind is that Metro Line 1 is not closing early due to a general cancellation of the service, but for technical works scheduled by ANM between 11 and 14 May 2026For travelers, however, the practical effect remains the same: in the evening hours, it is necessary to plan alternatives, move up departures, or check different connections.
Who is most at risk of inconvenience during the early closure?
The greatest inconveniences affect those who use Metro Line 1 in the evenings., especially workers with long shifts, students, people returning from appointments in the city center, and passengers who need to connect with other means of transport. The change may also impact those traveling between distant areas of the city, as Line 1 is one of the main routes through Naples between the northern area, Vomero, the historic center, and the Centro Direzionale.
The problem isn't just missing the last train, but having to reorganize your entire journey after the early closure. A journey that normally involves a subway ride could take longer, require a transfer, or take a different route, especially for those departing from intermediate stations rather than the terminals.
The most prudent rule is not to arrive at the station close to the final time, because the last indicated journey leaves from the terminus and does not guarantee the same margin to those who board along the line.It's best to plan your trip ahead of time, check ANM updates, and consider an alternative return trip beforehand.
