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
Citizens of European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries do not need a visa to enter Italy, only a valid ID. Many other countries, including the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Australia, and New Zealand, benefit from visa-free entry for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Visitors from visa-exempt countries must hold a valid passport and, starting in late 2025, will need to apply for an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) authorisation online before travelling. For those requiring a visa, such as travellers from some Middle-East, African or Asian nations, a Schengen visa must be obtained prior to arrival. All travellers should ensure their passport is valid for at least three months beyond their intended stay.

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.

Electricity
Italy uses the Type F electrical sockets with two round holes, the same as in many countries in Continental Europe. You will also encounter Type L sockets with three round holes arranged in a line. A “universal“ socket, that accepts Type C, E, F and L plugs, is commonly used in Italy. The standard voltage is 230 volts, but some hotels have special plugs for 110 or 120-volt shavers.
