Se si va a Napoli per la cultura, non si può non pensare a prendere questo Pass. In 3 giorni sono riuscito a vedere Pompei, il Palazzo Reale di Napoli, Ercolano, la Reggia di Caserta, il MAN ed il museo Capodimonte. È stata una bellissima esperienza. Assolutamente consigliato se si ha voglia di girare e non fermarsi mai!

Po meni vrlo jednostavan način za obići grad i upoznati ga na brzinu. Postoje dvije linije, jedna koja ide uz grad, a druga koja ide u zaljev. Crvena i plava. Naravno možete izaći na bilo kojoj stanici koja je mjesto vašeg interesa i ponovo uči i vratiti se na početno mjesto.

The perfect way to pass the time on a cold dark rainy night in old Napoli

Busy but well organised and well worth doing good value for money

We would do this again! This was time and money well spent.
