Pozzuoli Solfatara station → Montesanto station (Naples city centre)
💡 Buy ticket at station machines or tabacchi – no onboard sales. Get off at 'Pozzuoli' stop (not Solfatara) if heading to hotel; it's a level 10-minute walk from there. Avoid 08:00–09:00 when trains are packed with commuters.

Top Attractions in Pozzuoli
💡 Grab a coffee at Bar del Porto (€1.10) at dawn to see the ferry departures. No entry needed—it's the public seafront.
💡 Look up at the wooden ceiling — the original 1650s painted panels survived the 1964 earthquake but the modern ones are a different shade of blue. Spot the join.
💡 Look for the floor-level glass panels on Via Duomo – they show the old Roman street grid below. The underground area is free but check opening times at the tourist office as it's sometimes closed for events.
💡 No booking needed—just show up at the tourist info booth in Piazza della Repubblica at 10:00. Tips appreciated but not required. In Italian with some English.
💡 Visit late afternoon when the low sun hits the marble columns — the light makes the borehole marks on the columns much easier to spot.
💡 Come by 07:00 if you want to see the auction — it finishes by 08:30. The stall at the far right sells grilled baby octopus on focaccia for 3 EUR, which is the best-value lunch in town.
💡 Best seen at low tide when the ancient mosaic floor is visible. No ticket needed—just walk in through the gate at the eastern end of the main square.
💡 Come before 9am to see the auction. The walkways along the old harbour walls are free and give great views of the Bay of Pozzuoli and the islands. No entrance fee, but bring cash for a €2 coffee at the bar on the corner.
