🇮🇹 Naples

Major

Italy

Napoli Centrale is the principal railway station of Naples and one of Italy's busiest, serving as the gateway to southern Italy and Sicily with high-speed connections to Rome, Florence, and Milan. The station sits above the underground Piazza Garibaldi metro interchange and the Circumvesuviana suburban line to Pompeii and Sorrento, making it a critical hub for the entire Campania transport network. Opened in its current form in 1954 after extensive wartime damage, the station's imposing façade on Piazza Garibaldi is the first sight of Naples for the majority of rail travellers.
