Best Time to Visit

The best time to go sightseeing in Naples and enjoy its beauty to the fullest is probably spring or late summer — May, June, or September. The weather should be warm and pleasant, even if a couple of rainy days can happen. June and August are the best months for going to the beach and swimming, but they can be very hot. Plus, the city might feel a bit empty, since many Neapolitans go abroad on their summer holidays. Christmas time in Naples is a surprising experience — the city gets crowded with street markets and nativity-themed stands.

Passport / Visa

Passport / Visa

Italy can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of most European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country. International (non-Schengen) travellers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their intended trip in order to enter the Schengen zone. Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.

Public Transport

Public Transport

The most comfortable way to get around Naples is by walking, but since the city is quite large, sooner or later you might have to use public transport — it is best to avoid driving because of the city's heavy traffic. The Unico Campania company has an integrated fare card system to cover the public transport network for the whole area. The card covers 14 different types of transportation and is called a TIC ticket. You can buy hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly tickets at tobacco shops, some newspaper stands, and ticket machines in many railways and metro stations. It is very important to validate the ticket in order to avoid fines — you can find validating machines on board. Different tourist cards are also available — check the most updated offers on the Unico website.
