AlibusorAlibus and NLG hydrofoil to Capri?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Alibus reaches Napoli Centrale (Piazza Garibaldi), the old town, and the port at Molo Beverello and Piazza Municipio; the Alibus and NLG hydrofoil to Capri does not. This goes on by hydrofoil to Capri, landing at Marina Grande below the town. It does not stop in Naples on the way.

The Alibus is quicker: 20 min against 2 h.

Alibus: 05:30–00:00. Alibus and NLG hydrofoil to Capri: 08:35–17:40, Daily, 1 April to 3 November 2026.

It does not go into the old town. The stops are Piazza Garibaldi, Porta di Massa and Molo Beverello, in that order; for Toledo, the Spanish Quarter or Spaccanapoli you change to Metro Line 1 at Garibaldi, which the EUR 5 integrated ticket covers.

Four of you pay EUR 20 and five pay EUR 25; the fixed taxi fare to the station is EUR 21 and EUR 26. From six people the taxi is cheaper.

ANM's own page says 15 minutes to the station and 35 to the port; ANM's own timetable schedules 18 to 23 and 40 to 50 by day. Plan on the timetable.

If ANM's luggage rule is applied on this bus, a large suitcase needs a second EUR 5 ticket, and with a bag each the taxi wins from three people. The Alibus page does not say either way.

Last bus from the airport is at midnight. The airport itself is closed 22:30 to 03:30 except for delayed flights.

Validate the ticket as you board and keep it; the ordinary EUR 1.30 ticket and every pass are invalid on this bus.

The Capri landing contribution of EUR 5.00 (April to October) is added to NLG's ticket price, so the EUR 23.00 and EUR 25.00 fares become EUR 28.00 and EUR 30.00.

A suitcase is not free on NLG: one piece up to 50x30x15 cm and 5 kg travels without charge, and larger luggage is checked in at EUR 5.00 a piece.

The Alibus stops at Porta di Massa first and Molo Beverello last. NLG's hydrofoils leave from Molo Beverello, so ride to the end.

NLG's timetable runs to 3 November 2026; check its site for a later date.

The slower ferries to Capri leave from Calata Porta di Massa, the Alibus stop before Beverello, and no fare for them is shown here.

NLG refunds the ticket if it cancels a sailing for technical reasons or sea conditions.
