Naples Capodichino Airport (officially named after Ugo Niutta) is the main gateway to Southern Italy and the entry point for travellers heading to Naples, the Amalfi Coast or the Gulf islands. It sits just 6 km from the city centre, but choosing the right way to reach your final destination can make the difference between a relaxed arrival and a stressful one.
Where the Airport Is Located
Capodichino sits north-east of Naples' historic centre, conveniently placed for both the city and the main routes to the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii and Sorrento. Despite the short geographical distance, city traffic and waiting times for buses or taxis can significantly extend transfer times, especially during peak season.
Options to Reach the City
Travellers landing at Capodichino essentially have four options: the Alibus shuttle, connecting the airport to Naples Central Station and the port with intermediate stops; taxis, available outside the terminal with fixed rates to certain destinations; car rental, impractical for those unfamiliar with local roads; and a private chauffeur transfer, bookable in advance.
- Alibus: affordable but with multiple stops and luggage to handle yourself.
- Taxi: convenient for short trips, less predictable rates for destinations outside Naples.
- Private NCC transfer: booked in advance, fixed price, driver waiting for you at the airport.
Why Choose a Private Transfer
For those travelling with family, bulky luggage or a destination outside central Naples (Sorrento, Positano, Ravello), a private transfer removes every uncertainty: the driver tracks the flight schedule, waits even in case of delays and takes the passenger straight to the destination, with no transport changes. It's also the best solution for those arriving at night or on flights not covered by public transport schedules.
Travel Times and Distances
- Naples city centre: about 20-30 minutes by car, depending on traffic.
- Pompeii: about 40-50 minutes.
- Sorrento: about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.
- Positano / Amalfi Coast: about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the season.
