'Mode': AROUND
Category: Train
Getting TO/AROUND: you can take a cab from there to your hotel and risk getting ripped off or take the train. Newcomers SHOULD NOT DRIVE!!! Take the Metropolitana around the city. here is a website for train info http://www.napolicuba.it/napoli/ trasporti/collegamenti.html drive at your own risk. I did for over six months and totaled a rental car and some moped riders ran into me one time. It's common to see 2-3 on a moped at once, and I once saw a family of four on one.
The metropolitana and buses are a great way to get around, but are rather cramped most of the time. risk a hefty fine if you don't purchase a ticket. You have to purchase them at a Tabacchi store or a newsstand. Prices: Biglietto da novanta minuti: € 0,77. (90 minutes) Biglietto giornaliero: € 2,32. (entire day)
Tabacchi's and newsstands usually close during 'Riposa' or midday when everyone goes home for lunch.
Napolitans are getting used to seat belts. It sorta cramps their style, but the polizia is cracking down on seat belt use.
I've driven my Chevy S-10 four wheel drive truck around without incident. Even in the commune of Pianura, where my wife is from. Newcomers should take public transportation.
Unlike northern Italy, Naples is NOT bicycle friendly. I would recommend not riding a bicycle on busy auto traffic roads. Trust me.

ttsui Mon Feb 18, 2008 19:34 UTC We just got back from a 2 week trip to Naples, Amalfi and Rome. While in Naples, we ate at Trianon twice. It is indeed THE best pizza in the world! | kevanrijn Tue Feb 20, 2007 06:32 UTC I so enjoyed your Naples pages & tips. I lived there for 2.5 years and my son was born there. I was there from 1975-1977--yes, the dark ages! Is Tony's Sampan Chinese restaurant near NSA Naples still there? I had an apartment in Pianura! | 1courage Tue Nov 7, 2006 22:48 UTC HI! That`s one great page. I can easily imagine, how beautiful can be a wedding in such an extraordinary church! Greetings! | madamx Wed Aug 9, 2006 03:59 UTC Hi Jeff, thanks for some great tips about Naples. Looking forward to having real italian pizza! Greetings from Calgary ~ Helen |
