Traveler reviews

    This was an unexpected treasure and well worth our visit! We were staying nearby, outside of Naples, and looking for something to do in the afternoon. I figure this might be a good one hour visit but we ended up spending more than three hours here. If you love trains or transportation at all, this is a destination to visit. They have put together an amazing collection, well maintained, and well documented. We also enjoyed their cafe, immensely. It has an espresso machine that shows off the steam interior. They also use a lot of blue and yellow ceramic, which you find all along the coast and islands here. If you have half a day and want to see something different, you should check this out. It is near the coast and has beautiful views as well, so if your other half is bored, get them a coffee or cocktail and walk around. Well done, Italy. Another gift to enjoy!

    The museum is located in Naples, but a bit outside of the city center. It’s very spacious, with plenty of trains. The audio guide (which is actually a tablet) is very useful. The staff is friendly, and the ticket price is low. I would avoid the café inside the museum because it is expensive.
