Customers can also transfer downstairs to the metro (subway) line L2. Train tickets can be bought at the station or in advance online, I'd suggest booking earlier as ticket prices for regional legs to other major cities can increase closer to departure. Exterior and interior are modern, with triangular/diagonal/geometric design elements. Within the station several large overhead displays show arrival origins and departure destinations, scheduled/actual times, platforms, and special notes like notifications to board or delays. Travelers wait in the main lobby until platform numbers are published about 15-20 minutes prior to departure for regional trains, then head thru a preliminary ticket check (security checking that each passenger is ticketed), into the train platforms in the inner part of the station. Individual train info is also posted at each platform. Note for Circumvesuviana trains, they don't publish all intermediate stops on the displays so double check your departure time and destination are actually valid for your train route time. I inadvertently tried to get on the wrong train (following directions from Gmaps), only to be directed by a helpful train staff member to the next train on opposite platform arriving 20 minutes later. Inside the main train hall aside from ticket offices and machines, a tourist info center and currency exchange, there are probably two dozen shops and restaurants, not including a separate food hall with a dozen local and chain restaurants, bars and bakeries. From McDonald's and Starbucks to Toasthouse, Sushi Daily, Fresca Pizzeria Trattoria, Cuori di Sfolgliatella and Scaturchio Pasticceria. Within the rest of the station there's a grocery store, bookstore, souvenir, jewelry and trinket stores, cafes, fast food spots, bathrooms. Luggage storage available in station or in the blocks surrounding, which I'd recommend booking in advance. Overall the station was clean, functional and safe. I've no qualms about transiting thru here again!

You'll still have a bit of hiking to get to the Castel Sant'Elmo but it's worth it. This is one of the busiest funiculars in Europe and opened on October 28, 1928. From Atlas Obscura, "The line serves fours stations and runs a length of 1270 meters (4167 feet), over which it completes a total elevation change of 170 meters (558 feet). A single trip takes about 5 minutes." The ride was quick, smooth and comfortable. Super easy! [Review 19222 overall - 372 in Italy - 192 of 2023.]

As you walk in there are a few ticket machines from which you can purchase tickets by card or coins, and a cafe selling coffee, drinks and snacks. Head upstairs where there's an entry to both the metro and funicular here. Check that you're headed in the right direction, the ticket scanners at the turnstiles only work for the correct ticket so you'll know if you went the wrong way. There were staff checking tickets as well. There's a waiting area for the departures on bottom and top of the hill, for safety reason you can't wait on the steps where the cars ascend and descend. Compared to other funiculars, this one is more of a modern bus on a hill rather than the more trolley-like contraptions I'm used to seeing. It's pretty wide, seating 4 people across the width of the car, with a walkway between the seats, and plenty of standing room. Also there are multiple levels within each funicular car, so you can walk up/down the stair steps, which felt like a novel concept given my previous experience with narrower cars. As of April 2026, the the schedule for departure is every 10 minutes between 7am-10pm.

There are some nice souvenir shops as well as some clothing stores. One store in particular was a favorite of mine - Real Luxury. Real Luxury is located just near the main entrance, specializes in high-end clothing and is run by a designer named Marco. He has designed, among many other items, an array of men's ties with multiple folds in the actual fabric. The most intricate of which is a "12-fold tie" that I think is just amazing. The port building is clean and easy to navigate. Once you're outside the main doors and ready to explore Naples and the surrounding areas, prepare yourself to be accosted by dozens of pushy taxi drivers. They engage you immediately to find out where you want to go and get you to hire them. Some are extremely pushy and will not take no for an answer without pushing harder. Some will even follow you for a bit while trying to get your attention and continuing to ask you questions about where you'd like to go. I had one guy follow me all the way to the sidewalk trying to get my attention and my business. Make sure you research all transportation options before your trip here. Hiring a taxi isn't always the most cost effective, or even the most scenic, option. Our plan was to spend the day visiting Sorrento on the Amalfi Coast. We took a street rail car service from the port to the main train station. That ride each way cost us each €4.50.
