Napoli Centrale is one of the main transportation hubs in Naples, the other being the port area…read morefrom which many ferries operate to other cities and islands along the Italian coastline. 25 train platforms are situated in the main level, with another 4 downstairs for local EAV Circumvesuviana trains to Sorrento, Pompeii and other towns. 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!

I made a huge mistake and thought that the 1020am express train was a part of the tap on/tap off system but I was supremely wrong. Luckily there was a 1038 train with a transfer to make it to our destination. The ticket office is a great help, even if the line may be long, because the person working was very helpful in explaining the tickets to me. There were also people outside of that train who could help guide you in the correct direction. There is a café that we ate at in the morning before heading to Rome. It was shockingly good for a place that heats things with a microwave and not very expensive. There is a nice seating area that you can rest and/or eat in with a platform board. It's a small station but there are 4 platforms so you still have to pay attention to which train you are getting on. Also, it may not seem like it, but there is an elevator if you need to use it.

Approaching from the front, there's a roundabout (Piazza Giovanni Battista de Curtis) in front for pickup and drop off. You go up a flight of stairs or escalator to the second floor where tickets can be purchased at machines or a couple manned ticket windows on the left. Then turnstiles to the tracks are straight toward the back of the station. The front facade and second floor balcony is semi-open to the elements aside from the open-eaved awning. There are 4 tracks, and access to three of them is via a tunnel below the first track, then stairs. I can't recall whether an elevator is available, you might need special assistance or a different entry for special accessibility needs. This is the terminal station for the Circumvesuviana local commuter train to/from Naples. It's no luxury ride though functional and affordable at €4.80 to Naples, a 1 hour 15 minute trip. Aside from its rectangular, blocky countenance with a partially open front, the station didn't leave too strong of an impression. The one ticket window staff member interaction I had was brief and neutral. Station cleanliness was mid to decent.

Port of Naples, or Porto di Napoli, at the Stazione Marittima is a great port building to get you…read moreintroduced to Naples, Italy. The interior is pretty expansive. 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.
