Naples Public Transport Tickets: Which One to Buy?

How much does public transport cost in Naples and which ticket should you buy? The answer depends on how often you plan to use public transport, how long you are staying and, most importantly, where you want to go.

For travelling within Naples, you can choose between single tickets, integrated time-based tickets, day passes and weekly passes. If you're planning to visit Pompeii, Herculaneum, Sorrento or the Amalfi Coast, things become slightly more complicated because different operators and fare systems are involved.

In this guide you'll find the prices of the main Naples public transport tickets, an explanation of the differences between ANM, UnicoCampania, EAV, Trenitalia and SITA Sud, and practical examples to help you choose the best option for your trip.

The information and fares in this guide were checked on 27 August 2026. Prices, validity and conditions may change, so we always recommend checking the latest information on the official operator websites linked throughout this article before purchasing a ticket.

How Much Do Public Transport Tickets Cost in Naples?

Let's start with the question most visitors want answered: how much does public transport in Naples cost?

Here are some of the most useful tickets for visitors, with fares checked on 27 August 2026.

Ticket	Price	Validity / use
ANM single ticket – buses and funiculars	€1.30	One journey on the ANM services covered by the ticket
ANM single ticket – Metro Lines 1 and 6	€1.50	One journey on the ANM services covered by the ticket
UnicoCampania integrated ticket – 90 minutes	€1.80	Allows travel with participating operators according to the ticket conditions for 90 minutes
ANM day ticket	€4.50	Travel on the ANM services covered by the ticket until midnight on the day of validation
UnicoCampania integrated day ticket	€5.40	Travel with participating operators according to the ticket conditions until midnight on the day of validation

Important: an ANM company ticket and an integrated UnicoCampania ticket are not the same thing. The integrated ticket generally costs slightly more because it can be used with different participating transport operators, subject to the conditions of the ticket.

For current fares and conditions, always check the official ANM tickets and passes page.

ANM, EAV, Trenitalia, SITA Sud and UnicoCampania: What's the Difference?

Before choosing a ticket, there is one important distinction that can be confusing when visiting Naples for the first time.

ANM, EAV, Trenitalia and SITA Sud are transport operators. UnicoCampania, on the other hand, is Campania's integrated fare system, allowing certain tickets to be used across services operated by different participating companies.

ANM

ANM operates much of Naples' urban public transport network, including buses, trams, funiculars and Metro Lines 1 and 6.

If you want to understand which lines and stops are most useful for sightseeing, read our Naples Metro Guide and our complete guide to the Naples funiculars.

EAV

EAV operates several regional railway lines that are particularly important for visitors. These include Circumvesuviana services used to reach Herculaneum, Pompeii and Sorrento.

For current ticket information and purchasing options, check the official EAV ticket information.

SITA Sud

SITA Sud is particularly important if you plan to travel by bus around the Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast.

SITA Sud participates in the UnicoCampania fare system, but specific tickets also exist for certain routes and areas.

For current fares and conditions, check the official SITA Sud tickets and passes page.

UnicoCampania

UnicoCampania is not a transport company. It is Campania's integrated public transport fare system.

An integrated ticket can be particularly useful when your journey involves services operated by more than one participating transport company.

So when buying a ticket, don't look only at the price. Check whether you are purchasing an operator-specific ticket or an integrated ticket.

What About Naples Metro Line 2? It Is Operated by Trenitalia

One important peculiarity of the Naples transport network is Metro Line 2.

Unlike Lines 1 and 6, Line 2 is a metropolitan railway service operated by Trenitalia.

However, this does not necessarily mean that you need to buy a completely separate ticket every time you use Line 2.

Line 2 is part of Campania's integrated fare system. An appropriate integrated UnicoCampania ticket can therefore be used on participating operators according to the conditions and validity of the ticket.

If you buy a standard Trenitalia rail ticket instead, it follows its own conditions and should not be confused with an integrated UnicoCampania ticket.

In practical terms, if you want to combine, for example, ANM Metro Line 1 and Trenitalia Line 2 during the same journey, make sure you have purchased an appropriate integrated ticket rather than an operator-specific single ticket.

For current information, check the official Trenitalia Naples Metro Line 2 page.

Single Ticket, Integrated Ticket or Day Pass?

If you only expect to use public transport occasionally, buying single tickets may be the simplest and cheapest option.

If your journey involves transport operated by different companies, an integrated UnicoCampania ticket may be more appropriate.

If you expect to make several journeys during the same day, a Naples day pass may offer better value.

However, remember that Naples is a very walkable city, particularly around the historic centre. If most of your day will be spent exploring the centre on foot, buying a day pass is not automatically the cheapest option.

Important: A Day Ticket Does Not Always Mean 24 Hours

This is one detail that is particularly easy to misunderstand.

The ANM urban day ticket is currently valid until midnight on the day it is first validated.

So if you validate it at 4:00 pm, it does not remain valid until 4:00 pm the following day.

Other tickets may instead be valid for a full 24 hours from first validation.

Before buying a day ticket, always check whether its conditions say:

valid until midnight on the day of validation;
or valid for 24 hours from first validation.

They sound similar, but they are not the same.

Is There a Weekly Public Transport Pass in Naples?

Yes. If you're staying longer and expect to use public transport frequently, 7-day tickets are available.

As of 27 August 2026, the ANM 7-day ticket costs €13.50, while the integrated 7-day ticket costs €16.20.

The difference is not simply the price. The integrated ticket allows travel with participating operators according to the applicable conditions.

Naples to Pompeii and Herculaneum: Which Ticket Do You Need?

Once you travel outside the Naples urban area, the fare system changes.

To reach Pompeii or Herculaneum on the Circumvesuviana, you need a ticket valid for the relevant extra-urban journey.

There are EAV operator-specific tickets as well as integrated UnicoCampania tickets. Which one you need depends on your journey and whether you plan to use other forms of public transport as part of the trip.

The extra-urban fare system also includes different fare zones and ticket types. If you plan to make several journeys during the same day, check whether a suitable day ticket is available for your itinerary before automatically buying several single tickets.

Before purchasing, always check:

your exact destination;
the fare zone;
whether the ticket is operator-specific or integrated;
how long the ticket is valid;
whether any additional transport is included.

For the latest information, check the official EAV ticket information.

Naples to Sorrento: Which Ticket Should You Buy?

To travel from Naples to Sorrento on the Circumvesuviana, you also need a ticket valid for the appropriate extra-urban journey.

If you simply plan to travel from Naples to Sorrento and back, compare the cost of the individual journeys with any day-ticket options available for the relevant fare zone.

If Sorrento is only the first stage of a trip continuing to Positano or Amalfi, remember that you will also need to consider the SITA Sud bus fare system.

Using Tap&Go on the Naples-Sorrento Line

Some EAV railway lines also offer Tap&Go, allowing passengers to use a contactless payment card at enabled stations.

The system is currently available on the Naples-Sorrento line.

It is important to complete both the TAP IN at your departure station and the TAP OUT when you arrive, following the conditions of the service.

Before using it, check the latest information on the official EAV Tap&Go page.

Tickets for Positano and Amalfi: Understanding SITA Sud

If you're planning to visit Positano, Amalfi, Ravello, Maiori, Minori or other towns on the Amalfi Coast, SITA Sud buses become an important part of your journey.

In addition to the normal tickets available through the fare system, SITA Sud currently offers a ticket called COSTIERASITA.

As of 27 August 2026, COSTIERASITA costs €10 and is valid for 24 hours from the first validation.

It allows unlimited journeys on SITA Sud buses within the municipalities included in the scheme, including Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, Ravello, Maiori, Minori, Vietri sul Mare and Salerno.

This is a useful example of the difference mentioned earlier: COSTIERASITA is valid for a full 24 hours after first validation, whereas the Naples urban day ticket expires at midnight on the day of validation.

The price, participating towns and conditions may change, so always check the official SITA Sud tickets and passes page before travelling.

Campania Artecard: Is It Worth It?

If your itinerary combines public transport with museums, monuments and archaeological sites, it is worth comparing individual admission and transport tickets with the Campania Artecard.

Artecard is not simply a transport pass. It is a tourist pass combining admission to cultural attractions and, with some versions, public transport.

Artecard	Price on 27/08/2026	Admissions included	Public transport
Naples 3 Days	€27	First 3 admissions included	Included
Campania 3 Days	€41	First 2 admissions included	Included
Campania 7 Days	€43 digital	First 5 admissions included	Not included

This distinction is important: the Campania Artecard 7 Days is not a weekly public transport pass.

For current prices, participating attractions and conditions, always check the official Campania Artecard passes page.

Campania Artecard 3 Days: Which Transport Is Included?

The Campania Artecard 3 Days currently includes public transport within the UnicoCampania network according to the conditions of the pass.

However, this does not mean that every transport service in Campania is included.

There are important exclusions, so if your itinerary includes special tourist or extra-urban services, always check the latest conditions before travelling.

In particular, don't assume that airport services, special services to Mount Vesuvius, Campania Express or SITA Sud services between Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi are automatically covered.

Check the latest conditions directly on the official Campania Artecard website before buying the pass.

Which Ticket Is Best? Some Practical Examples

Your itinerary	What to consider
Only a few journeys in Naples	Single tickets or an integrated time-based ticket may be sufficient
Many journeys around Naples in one day	Compare individual fares with the day ticket
One week in Naples with frequent public transport use	Consider a 7-day ticket
Three days in Naples + museums	Compare normal transport tickets with Naples Artecard 3 Days
Naples + Pompeii or Herculaneum	Compare extra-urban tickets with Campania Artecard 3 Days if you are also visiting cultural sites
Naples + Sorrento	Check single, integrated and any available day-ticket options for the relevant fare zone
Sorrento + Positano + Amalfi	Check SITA Sud fares and consider COSTIERASITA
Seven days focused on museums and archaeological sites	Campania Artecard 7 Days may be useful, but remember that public transport is not included

Where Can You Buy Public Transport Tickets in Naples?

Depending on the operator and the ticket, you can generally buy public transport tickets from:

ticket offices and vending machines at stations;
authorised tobacconists and other ticket retailers;
digital ticketing apps and services;
contactless systems at stations and on routes where they are available.

For extra-urban journeys, always double-check the destination, operator, fare zone and validity before completing your purchase.

Buying Naples Public Transport Tickets on Your Phone

If you prefer not to look for a ticket office or tobacconist, many public transport tickets can also be purchased digitally.

The UnicoCampania app can be useful for finding and purchasing tickets within the regional fare system, while individual transport operators also provide their own ticketing options.

MooneyGo

Another practical option for purchasing a range of public transport tickets on your smartphone is MooneyGo.

The app provides tickets from different transport operators and can be particularly convenient when you don't want to search for a physical ticket retailer.

Always check the exact ticket before purchasing it. Depending on the ticket, you may need to activate it in the app before starting your journey or follow specific validation instructions.

For current information, visit the official MooneyGo public transport page.

Hotel Il Convento's Tip

If you're spending only a few days in Naples, don't automatically buy the longest pass or a day ticket.

First think about what you actually plan to see.

From Hotel Il Convento, many of Naples' main attractions in and around the historic centre are easily reached on foot. If you spend most of the day exploring central Naples, you may only need public transport once or twice.

If you're heading up to Vomero, travelling between more distant neighbourhoods or using several different forms of transport during the day, an integrated ticket or day pass may make more sense.

For some journeys, we also use MooneyGo to buy tickets directly on a smartphone. It can be very convenient when you don't want to look for a ticket retailer, but always check that you are purchasing the correct ticket for your route and transport operator.

And if you're planning a day trip outside Naples, particularly to the Amalfi Coast, don't look only at the ticket price. Check your return journey and the last useful service of the day, as timetables and frequencies can change throughout the year.

Official Websites to Check Before You Travel

Fares and conditions can change. Before buying a ticket, we recommend making one final check on the official websites:

Before You Travel: Always Check the Latest Ticket Conditions

Naples and Campania offer many different public transport options, which is why there is no single ticket that is best for every visitor.

Start with your itinerary: how long you're staying, how often you expect to use public transport and, most importantly, whether you're staying within Naples or also visiting Pompeii, Herculaneum, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast.

Once you know your plans, comparing single tickets, integrated tickets, day passes, weekly passes, extra-urban fares and Artecard becomes much easier.

And remember: prices, validity, included routes and ticket conditions can change. Before purchasing, always make one final check on the official website of the relevant transport operator.
