Getting around Naples
Taxis
Taxis are the quickest way to see Naples, but also the most expensive. Before getting into a taxi, make sure it is licensed. Licensed taxis will have a city crest on the door and a taxi number. Also, make sure it has a meter. By law, licensed taxis must display a list of pre-agreed fares in a number of languages (Italian, English, French, German, Spanish). Check the presence of such fares and agree to them before starting the journey.
Ferry
There are several ferry/hydrofoil services that connect Naples and local ports/islands. Ferry and hydrofoil services leave from either Molo Beverello, Mergellina or Pozzuoli.
Trains
Circumvesuviana (acronym: SFSM, Strade Ferrate Secondarie Meridionali) is a group of narrow-gauge railways connecting towns to the south-east of Naples, Italy. Its tracks run around the base of Mount Vesuvius, and (using a combination of lines), they completely encircle it, as well as running on down the Sorrento peninsula. There are 96 stations in total on the network, and 138 km of track. The line uses the 950 mm gauge, and the maximum speed is 90 km/h. Some trains stop at all stations on a particular route, others are 'fast' trains and stop only at the main stations.
The Circumvesuviana network is managed by a private company and does not accept Eurail passes for fares.
The lines all start from the terminus in Naples, and then branch off in several places to towns on the Sorrentine peninsula, for which it forms an important commercial artery. The complete journey from Sorrento to Naples takes about any hour. Half-way along the line is the station at Pompeii Scavi, situated about 100 yards from the entrance to the excavations. There are also stops within reasonable walking distance from the Roman city of Herculaneum and the Villa Poppaea. Parts of the line are very scenic, particularly on the Sorrento peninsula, where the line passes through several tunnels and bridges.
Area Events
Ravello's Festival Musicale di Valla Rufulo runs from July to August. It holds theater performances outdoors in alternative venues.
Duomo is held the first Saturday in May, Sept 19, and Dec. 16. The patron saint's preserved blood is said to liquefy. Crowds gather to witness the phenomenon.
