Flights from London to Naples leave from four London airports, so check which one your airline uses before you plan the journey.

Each of these London airports has its own rail link from the centre:

• London Heathrow (LHR): the Heathrow Express from Paddington, the Elizabeth line or the Piccadilly line
• London Gatwick (LGW): the Gatwick Express from Victoria, south of the capital
• London Stansted (STN): the Stansted Express from Liverpool Street, north-east of the capital
• London Luton (LTN): trains from St Pancras to Luton Airport Parkway, then the shuttle to the terminal

Stansted, Luton and Gatwick sit well outside central London. Add the train fare and journey time when you compare tickets.

Flights from London land at Naples International Airport (NAP), also known as Capodichino, on the northern edge of the city.

The Alibus shuttle is the simplest way into Naples. It runs from outside arrivals to the central station, Napoli Centrale on Piazza Garibaldi, and on to the port at Molo Beverello.

From Molo Beverello, ferries and hydrofoils leave for Capri, Ischia and Sorrento. From Napoli Centrale, the Circumvesuviana railway runs to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Sorrento.

Licensed taxis wait outside the terminal. Ask for the fixed fare to your part of the city before you set off.

Naples packs ancient history, Baroque churches and a famous food scene into one dense, lively city on the bay.

Start with these places in and around Naples:

• Historic centre: the narrow streets of Spaccanapoli, lined with churches, shrines and street-food stalls
• National Archaeological Museum: the mosaics and treasures recovered from Pompeii and Herculaneum
• Castel dell'Ovo: the seafront castle on the bay, with views across to Mount Vesuvius
• Pompeii and Herculaneum: the Roman towns buried by Vesuvius, an easy train ride from the city
• Mount Vesuvius: the volcano itself, with a walking path up to the rim of the crater
• Capri: the island across the bay, reached by ferry from the port

Naples is the home of pizza, and the old pizzerias of the historic centre are a sight in themselves.

Spring and autumn are the best seasons for sightseeing, as summer brings heat and crowds to Pompeii. In September, the city celebrates the Feast of San Gennaro, its patron saint.
