>artecard reviews
1.4 out of 5, based on 248 reviews.
What people like
- Saves significant money on museum entry.
- Taking screenshots works as a backup.
- Good value if visiting many sites.
What they complain about
- Forces you to log in repeatedly.
- Requires internet even inside metro stations.
- QR codes often fail at turnstiles.
An absolute no brainer
A quick scan of the QR code and you are able to visit so many attractions for a fraction of the price. If you are under 25 you probably will not benefit much from this as the majority of places will do reduced entry fees and will only be a couple of euros. I visited Pompei, Herculaneum, Castel Nuovo, Royal Palace for just 26 euro by getting the 365 lite pass when these would have cost me anywhere from 10-25 each. Catacomb San Gaudioso and Gennero are also reduced by a few euros. You can screenshot the QR code as a backup so if your signal goes you can just show that. Would highly recommend this to anyone, the app works absolutely fine I have no idea how anyone has problems with it.
As awful as promised
It looks like the >artecard is a bust. Don’t use it.
Fonctionne bien
Très inquiet des commentaires avant achat. En fait fonctionne très bien, il faut juste suivre les instructions sur le site officiel. 1/ acheter sa (ou ses cartes) sur le site officiel (1 carte = 1 personne), 2/ télécharger l’application, 3/ ne pas activer la carte avant la 1ere visite ou le 1er transport, 4/ utiliser l’un des 2 QR codes (visites ou transport), 3/ se connecter à nouveau après quelques temps (Time out) et sortir de l’application avant. Bien choisir aussi son type de carte (la classique permet les transports dans Naples mais pas en dehors - ex. Pompeii Scalvi et pas les funiculaires). Certains musées sont en réduction et pas gratuits mais la carte autorise le coupe fil. Bref très utilisable dans Naples si vous faites beaucoup de visites. Pour les transports, vous allez très rapidement comprendre que le taxi est le mieux…
Ständiges login
Warum muss man sich jedes Mal neu einloggen? Total unpraktisch. Kauf per paypal und applepay hat nicht funktioniert.
Mid experience
The app was functional but not very user friendly. Especially that it requires the user to login everytime they want to show the QR code. This should be corrected soon.
Alles top
I have been using the app for three days and have no problems at all. Works flawlessly. Was in Naples, Herculaneum, Pompeii. Made screenshots everywhere before and done. Saved a lot of money and time. The other rated probably belong to those who can not read the watch
Awful in every aspect
Paid and didn’t get a card. Wasted an afternoon as didn’t have further budget to buy more museum accesses. Everything about the app functions poorly - couldn’t update my profile - ended up doing it on the website. Issues with paying. Said there was an error. Charged my card. Sent a payment confirmation. Didn’t send a pass. Useless.
Not perfect, but it works good enough.
It seems like the app got updated, because I could easily log in to my account and buy my ticket via Paypal. One annoying thing is, that you get signed out while the pass is active.
Not a very good app
You have to download this app to obtain your arrears and it says skip the queues but this is not correct because you have to join the queue where ever you use it to have the code changed into a ticket? Also the transport code does not scan when getting a train so more time is wasted trying to get through the barriers.
Needs improvements
Quite handy to travel through Campania. Perfect to travel around and save money in transport and museums. My advice is to do a screenshot of both qr codes transport and entries to museums. It takes take to get in to the tickets be patient. They should at a map with all routes you are able to use.
Doesn’t work
Payed €16, my ticket disappeared after 10 mins
Indecente ma funziona
Due stelle solo perché alla fine funziona. Ma non salvare le credenziali nel 2025 è inaccettabile. Ci sono anche un sacco di popup che spesso non si riescono più a chiudere e bisogna riavviare l’app (richiedendo l’accesso e dovendo ricompilare da capo)
Credenziali non posso essere salvate
L’app chiede ogni volta username e password e spesso non trova l’abbonamento. Va chiusa e riaperta. Per entrare nei mezzi pubblici è abbastanza scomodo dover inserire manualmente le credenziali…
Awful app and you still need to queue - be warned
This is probably the worst app I have ever had to use. Before I start in the app itself I will say the concept is great, discounted tickets and skip the queues, what’s not to love? HOWEVER… for some bizarre reason the bureaucrats want you to convert the digital ticket to a paper ticket at the gate. So you still need to queue, completely negating the reason for a digital ticket. I have to say I was at a loss as to the thinking behind the system. Now the app itself has clearly been written by someone who has never actually had to use it. It logs you out every 10 mins and guess what… it doesn’t remember your login details! What fabulous fun you can have at the entrance of amazing Roman monuments scrabbling to log into an app, and often with limited service. But to improve things even more the app does not remember you have tickets, so need data each time you open it to see what tickets you have. The designers have sensibly decided to make this particular process take about 15 mins and to least 4 attempts. It is a game of persistence and keeping calm in a huge queue, in the heat, with grumpy teenagers refusing sun cream, as you get close to the counter, and you have the circle of doom rotating away. It only took us a couple of sites to work out you are best to screenshots the QR codes. But you still need to queue. And trust me on the sun cream.
Ausbaufähig
Die App ist grundlegend gut aufgebaut allerdings nervt das automatische Ausloggen so dass man sich immer erneut am Metro Drehkreuz einloggen muss. Ein dauerhaftes eingeloggt bleiben ist ein ein Muss!
重新登录！
每次退出都要重新登录，我累了。
Needs a lot of work & will use up a lot of your time
The idea is a good one but the execution is very poor. The app does not work in the way that it is advertised. After failing to get the app to load we managed to gain entry using the QR code which we captured and stored on the phone. This was the suggestion of a very helpful staff member at one of the sites. The Young Persons’ card we could not get to work at all. Email support comes across as aggressive and not overly helpful. We have finally managed to get an agreement for a refund for the unused card. All in all a lot of wasted time spent on Artecard rather than enjoying Naples. Apple should remove the app until the developer has ironed out the wrinkles.
Dodgy app
The card itself is good value as long as you visit at least 2-3 museums. If not, don’t bother, since public transport is pretty cheap anyway and this adds a significant amount of hassle. The app is bad and frequently would freeze or give unknown errors, leaving you standing outside a metro station just waiting for the damn thing to work. How hard is it to make an app that just shows your travel QR code without endless loading and having to login over and over?
So many bugs
I tried so many times to access and buy an Artecard Campania of 3 days on my phone and it was impossible. I never received the confirmation mail. So my friend just bought 2 and gave me one of the QR code. + impossible to find any physical Artecard Campania all around the Napoli archaeological museum. They sell only the Napoli Artecard. So my tip is to buy the Artecard on the website if possible in advance, not from your phone but from a computer.
This is a completely scam
This is a completely scam!!! Don’t buy it. I bought the 3day pass but never managed to open it even for one time. A total waste of 32euro.
Great deal and good idea but app has problems
This pass pays for itself easily while visiting Naples but app is problematic as it keeps logging out and you have to retrieve your pass which can be awkward on a street corner or in a metro or museum where there’s not a signal. If you use it I highly recommend screen shotting the QR code just in case before going out.
Great discount, terrible app
The 3 day pass with transport offers a great discount and transport around Naples. However the app itself is terrible. It requires you to continually log in again (the login never seemed to last more than 10 minutes), which is a massive pain, especially as this is required for underground travel where mobile signal is weak. App is also slow to load over even a strong Wi-Fi connection, feels like it had been very poorly optimised for mobile. It also stopped working completely for about half a day for us (apparently due to SSL certificate expiry of the website). Note also, 3 day pass is 3 calendar days not 72 hours which wasn’t very clear especially as it talks about activating before first use. Should you get this? In spite of terrible app the discount is a good deal. Just expect a lot of frustration.
artecard
a saving on the transport and entry fees- but if you have small children you’ll still need to queue for a ticket for them anyway. this is handy as you will then be able to shuffle through the gate in a line, as the gate readers don’t recognise the artecard……
Very hard to use
Good concept, good offer, poor execution. You need data to use this app. The QR codes need to be refreshed after every single use. Change trains or from the Metro to a bus, new QR. The app doesn’t allow you to store your username or password as a cookie. You have type these in every time. Connection is slow, my hair grows faster than this app. Prep the QR too early, it times out. We missed at least one train waiting for the app to load. This was in Napoli Centrale, not out in the sticks You need to queue for paper tickets at the archaeology sites, and guess what, no signal at the entrance to Pompeii. Not sure if there is a good paper alternative, but you should try to find one
Good discount but awful to use
As previous reviewer posted this card needs Internet to keep it up to date, it cannot be used at train entrance and exits as nowhere to scan the code, you have to ask someone to let you through the barriers which is a pain, we just waved it around or forced our way through the entrance and exits, not ideal. You have to keep logging in to the app which is also a pain. Guess we saved money overall with discounts at sites but this app really is not integrated with the transport network, it needs sorting out or scrapping. Ciao
It’s a scam!
I downloaded the app, bought two 365 passes. They appeared for one day, and then suddenly, disappear from existence. So no pass to use, took our money and no product. Luckily we sceenshot the pass and they accepted. Also many places don’t accept this pass and the reduced price isn’t that much. Beware!
Good discount but awful app
The cards are quite competitive if you use them to visit Pompeii and some museum as the museum of archeology. However the app is awful ! You need (to have internet) to login every time you you want to use it so it generate a qr code (that constantly change, you can’t take a screenshot). This is very problematic to use the underground for instance…
This app needs a lot of work
The developers of this app need to engage a UX designer for the next iteration. It's difficult to navigate and misses a number of features that should be expected - such as saving QR codes to apple wallet; use of biometrics to log back in - talking of logging in; setting up an account is a painful experience and once navigated, the application seemingly forces you randomly to log back in . The arte card itself is very useful and presents great value - but if i were to buy one again, i’d look for an old fashioned paper version because the app is very frustrating to use. Final example of that would be using QR codes on the metro. Slow, often doesnt work and many turnstiles dont support QR. Why not introduce a Near field transmission capability - seems that ios16 supports a great feature here for travel cards?
Pretty useless
No option to add QR codes to wallet. You have to log in each time you need QR code (and sometimes in Napoli and its surroundings mobile Internet doesn’t work). No QR scanners on metro stations, so you have to show the guard your transportation QR code which is far from ideal solution. 2 stars only because it work, but it could (and should) be much better.
