Short FAQs for Naples ZTL

Can I drive along the waterfront?
The Lungomare (waterfront) has ZTL restrictions especially in evenings and weekends. Check the specific times on signs before entering. It's often restricted when locals and tourists want to stroll by the sea.
What about Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast?
If visiting Pompeii or the Amalfi Coast, you don't need to drive through Naples' ZTL zones. Use highways (autostrade) that bypass the historic center. Park in Naples only if staying in the city itself.
Is the metro system good?
Yes! Naples has two main metro lines (Line 1 and 2) connecting major areas. Line 1 stations feature art installations ("Metro Art"). The metro, funiculars, and buses make most tourist areas accessible without a car.
