The big party for the Napoli's fourth Scudetto will involve thousands of fans and will lead to important changes to urban mobility. On Monday 26 May 2025, the authorities ordered targeted closures of metro stations and funiculars, especially in the area of Mergellina, for reasons of public order. The plan was drawn up to ensure safety along the parade route and facilitate the inflow and outflow of participants. The city will therefore be accessible, but with some precautions: those who want to attend the event live will have to get organized in time and learn about the changes to transport in detail.

Which metro and cable car stops remain closed?

For safety and crowd management reasons, some Key stations will be closed from hours 16:00pm on Monday 26th May, until the end of the event:

  • Piazza Amedeo (Metro Line 2);
  • Mergellina (Metro Line 2);
  • Funicular of Mergellina (entire system).

The closure, ordered by the Prefecture at the request of the Police Headquarters, is defined as temporary but indefinite, or until the end of the celebrations and the complete outflow of the public. This is a precautionary measure for avoid gatherings and overcrowding in sensitive areas of the seafront, where a massive influx is expected.

What time do stations close and when do they reopen?

The closures will go into effect at 16:00 PM Monday 26 May 2025. An official reopening time has not been communicated: the reactivation of the service will take place in the stations involved only after the end of the party and once the flow of participants has been completed. Everything will depend on the progress of the demonstration and the assessments of the police, for this reason the duration of the suspension is indefinite and could continue until late evening.

Which vehicles provide non-stop service and how to best get around

Although some stops will be closed, the rest of the Neapolitan public transport system will remain active with extraordinary modalities. In particular:

  • Metro Line 1 will be in service non stop all day long;
  • Le Central, Chiaia and Montesanto funiculars will active without interruptions;
  • The races of the Line 2 will pass through regularly, without stopping in Piazza Amedeo and Mergellina.

For those who move from hilly neighborhoods, the recommended stops are Gold Medals (Metro L1) and the funicular stations connected to via Toledo and piazza Augusteo. Those coming from the suburbs can take advantage of the interchange parking (such as Colli Aminei, Frullone, Chiaiano) to leave your car and continue with Line 1.

It is advisable reach the party area in advance and on foot, taking advantage of the open stops near the big screens: San Pasquale square, Sermoneta square, Partenope street and Sannazaro squareThe route will be completely pedestrianized and patrolled, so planning your route around closures will ensure a smoother, safer experience.
