|---|---|---|---|
| 24h / 48h pass | Visitors hopping multiple stops | from catalogue* | Check included lines* |
Strengths and limits
Strengths: city overview, stops near attractions, audio guides. Limits: Naples traffic, wait times between buses, high cost if you only use 1–2 stops.
How to book
We prioritise Tiqets for hop-on when available. Check whether the pass includes every advertised line and when validity starts (onboard activation vs fixed date).
Alternatives
Walk the lungomare and centre; for hills consider funiculars/metro. For Pompeii day trips do not treat hop-on as a substitute for EAV trains.

FAQ
Does it replace ANM and metro?
No. For quick central trips the metro is often better. The bus serves views and tourist stops.
Is it for the airport?
No: use Alibus (ANM) for Capodichino. Do not mix products.
Worth it in summer?
Yes for breeze and views; bring sun protection. Heavy rain weakens the open-top experience.
Where should I buy?
Tiqets and other OTAs list passes; compare duration and lines. Avoid unclear resellers on validity.
