Regarded not only as Campania’s most important maritime hub but also one of Europe’s most significant ports, Naples Port sits in an inlet north of the Gulf of Naples and stretches for approximately 12 km. Built by the ancient Greeks, this port has always played a strategic role for military, commercial and tourist reasons, becoming one of the principal ports of the Mediterranean.
During the Bourbon reign (in the 18th century) Naples Port established itself as one of Europe’s finest, ready to welcome Venetian, Genoese, English, Turkish and numerous other vessels. It was precisely during these years that the Arsenale became a major shipyard, launching the Mediterranean’s first steamship in 1818, named “Real Ferdinando I”.
Following Italian unification, the port lost some importance, but with the advent of the Fascist government it regained prestige, as it was seen as the port connecting Italy’s colonial possessions. During this twenty-year period, Mussolini commissioned the construction of the new Maritime Station, designed by architect Cesare Bazzani.
Within the port, traffic is currently distributed as follows: cruise ships dock at the Molo Angioino, whilst hydrofoils depart and arrive at the Molo Beverello and Molo Mergellina, connecting Naples with the islands in the Gulf (Capri, Ischia, Procida) and other coastal destinations. Calata Porta Massa, Molo Immacolatella Vecchia and Molo Calata Piliero are piers from which ferries depart and arrive.
Naples Port is easily accessible by car via the A3 motorway, taking the Naples Centre/Port exit. Alternatively, those arriving from the south can take the SS 18 Tirrena Inferiore/SR18 road.
For those wishing to reach the port by public transport, the Alibus bus service, operated by ANM, connects Naples Port, the main railway station and Naples Capodichino airport. The service runs daily with departures every 20 minutes or so.
For those preferring to use the underground, take Line 1 and get off at Università station for Calata Porta di Massa (ferries) and at Municipio station for Molo Beverello (hydrofoils). A free shuttle service also operates between the two piers. Finally, tram line 1 also connects Piazza Garibaldi to Naples Port with stops along Via Marina and Via Colombo.
If you prefer to travel more comfortably, you can always take a taxi, which has fixed standard rates for journeys to Capodichino airport and the main railway station.
