    The best way to get to the Naples in August (!) is air-conditioned vehicle. If you travel with your own car, place a towel under your seat and back. It will probably be soaked with your sweat in minutes, despite all your opened windows (be careful about the thiefs!). Trains are cheap, but very slow (at least the lokal ones).
    Usually it is impossibly to find a free parking space in Napels. Even if you DO find something, that looks like a parking space, think twice! I have paid two penalties (but my car was registered on my friend from Napels, I hope they are more easy with the tourist cars with signs of other country). Try to use public transport, your feet or be there in August (thats when there are the best chance of finding free parking space since city is abandoned - but I havent promissed anything.)

    Look at the picture: there is only ONE PART of the car on the right corner (irregularly parked, though). Amazing! The street is empty for a while.

    I really recommend renting a scooter, if you want to get somewhere fast. Dont forget to wear a helmet, since you will be taking risk of crashing with a car! But a scooter is the fastest thing on the south of the Italy. Try not to ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere (beware of the possibility of broken empty gas indicator). Parking a scooter is very easy. You have special parking places (usually full, but you can squeeze in your vespa with a few gallant moves)and you can also improvise elsewhere... However, I have gained a very ugly scar on my knee (well, there goes my modeling career) - the last day, when I fall of the vespa at moderate speed.

  • Driving around Naples can be sheer hell. Avoid if you can. The Circumvesuviana is the best way to reach Pompeii, Herculaneum and Sorrento and there are hydrofoils that go to Capri and Ischia.

  • By air,
    There are many european airlines fly to Capodichino International airport.
    From the UK you can fly with Go direct from Stansted,
    British airways from Gatwick.
    If you want to travel with Alitalia they fly from London Heathrow. Via rome or Milan
    By Train, Bus, Taxi, Baot by foot great.
    But be very careful when you cross the roads.

    If you must use a car in Naples, it's better to drive yourself. Then, at least, you still have some control over your destiny. As a passenger, you can only trust in the Lord. Remember, when sitting beside a Neapolitan driver, that traffic lights in Naples have a different significance: Green means go, Amber means accelerate and Red means shut your eyes and make the sign of the cross.

    Not so much getting there as getting away. When the time came for old Cliffie to think about leaving Naples, he started thinking about a car to haul everything away. In those long ago days there were strict currency exchange rules, which meant that finding dollars to buy a tax-free car for export was a tricky business. But old Cliffie, more Italian than the Italians, came to an 'arrangement' with a friend at a bank. Old Cliffie got his little red car and his friend was eased through a difficult exam.

  • Capodichino airport. For information: 081/ 789.61.11Naples has three stations: Napoli Centrale, Mergellina, Campi Flegrei (Phlegrean Fields). All national rail traffic develops along the line Rome – Naples – Reggio Calabria, which allows direct connections with Intercity and Eurostar lines In the city center, besides buses, whose tickets can be purchased in tobacco shops or bars, we can comfortably travel by metro (subway), thus solving any problems related to the intense rush-hour traffic.
    The metro line connecting the Central Railway Station to the Mergellina Station crosses the entire city. Travelling by taxi can be a pleasant experience even if it isn’t very economical.
    The natural joviality and courtesy of Naples’ taxi drivers engages visitors. They are often the first tour guides to the city, telling traditional Parthenopaean legends and stories throughout the voyage.
    Just one warning: to avoid unpleasant situations, it’s a good idea to use only authorized taxis. The radiotaxi service has these numbers: Radiopartenope, tel. 5560202; Radionapoli, tel. 5564444
