Line 1 and Line 6, managed by ANM, make up the current city metro system. Line 1 connects the city center with the hilly area of ​​Vomero, the hospital area, and the suburbs. It is the best way to get around Naples, even if not always on time. Inaugurated in 1993, it has a length of 18 kilometers and a total of 18 stations. In the future, the connection with the airport and the Central Railway Station is planned. Line 6, consists of only 4 stations, and connects the districts of Fuorigrotta and Mergellina. It is currently closed but should reopen by the end of 2022.

One of the characteristic elements of the metro is the presence of the Art Stations. A project which, in fact, has transformed the stations into real exhibition spaces with about 200 works by 100 of the most prestigious contemporary authors. The construction of the stations themselves, entrusted to internationally renowned architects, represented a moment of strong redevelopment of large areas of the urban fabric. Garibaldi, University, Municipio, Toledo, Dante, Museum, Materdei, Salvator Rosa, Quattro Giornate, Vanvitelli and Rione Alto, are the stations of Line 1 where you will find the exhibition routes. The 4 stations of Line 6 are all Art Stations.

Line 1 is active every day, including holidays, from 06:00 to 23:00 approximately, with a frequency of 8 minutes during peak times and up to 15/20 in the evening. In August, the frequency is about 12/15 minutes during peak times. Friday and Saturday, closing is postponed to around 01:30.
