Strada Di Napoli

I used this station as a hub to get to Pompeii by bus and to travel to Florence by train. It’s a fairly normal transit center for busses and trains. I wouldn’t buy trinkets or souvenirs here, as they’re marked up. Also, the staff generally doesn’t speak much English, though you can probably figure things out through Google translate or miming. Pretty standard all around. I had no issues here. For all the people ragging on Napoli — it’s not that bad. It’s a bit rougher than the touristy centers of northern cities, but overall I really enjoy Naples. It’s cheap, there’s great food, and the insides of buildings are generally really cleanly.

After recent renovation, this place has really turned from disgusting parking lot into a reallz nice transport hub, respectable for city of Naples. Plenty of shopping and dining options around, if you are in hurry, go for the automatic ticketing machines and remember, each metro line has multiple entrances - don’t queue up for the first one you see. If you are changing from the metro to train, do not take the stairs, there is a tunnel.

How come a huge terminal like this only has one toilet, far away from the food court, underground, hidden (0% signage on the main floor)... And it forces you to put one euro (coins only!) to get access? Ridiculous! Also, we almost missed our train (it was a matter of seconds) because they didn't let us in - we were wearing regular face masks (the ones we used to fly to Portugal and to Italy), and they forced us to run to the pharmacy to buy new ones. Almost wrecked our trip. Never coming back to Napoli, you ruined the city to me.

Like in all Italian railway stations, there's a very poor public planning; e.g., no benches nor resting areas to sit and wait, except for the cafés & restaurants where you of course are expected to buy/consume something. Police rutinely hunt away people - young and old alike sitting on staircases while drug addicts and similar are moving around freely around the station and automatic messages about pick pockets are heard.
