Travel tips
Naples can be reached by plane arriving at Napoli Capodichino Airport. For visitors arriving at Roma Leonardo da Vinci Airport and wishing to proceed to Naples by train, there is a shuttle train service from Roma Leonardo da Vinci Airport to Roma Termini Railways Station (trains leave every 30 or 60 minutes). From Roma Termini Railways Station, there are trains leaving approximately every hour for the two main Railways Stations in Naples: Napoli Centrale (Piazza Garibaldi) and Napoli Mergellina.
Capri can be easily reached from Naples. The islands in the bay of Naples are served by ferries and hydrofoils from Molo Beverello (next to the main harbor) and by hydrofoils (but not by ferries) from Mergellina tourist harbor (see the map below).

The trip to Capri takes about 40 minutes by hydrofoil and 80 minutes by ferry. As shown by the table below, the last trip to Capri during the conference period is at about 21.30 p.m.. Consequently, if you plan to arrive in Naples in the evening, you might need to stay overnight and proceed for Capri the morning after (the first ferry leaves at 5.45 a.m.).
