At the beginning we must say that in the pavilions there are a lot of activities. Each one has a special and typical function. Among the inside stands there are several publishers and it’s possible to buy various comics and gadgets. The pavilions are numbered from 1-8 each hosting a different activity(see the map). The first (1) stand is a pavilion with different plays and rides dedicated to children; the second (2) and the third (3) pavilions are about comics and all types of cartoons; in the fourth (4) pavilion there are shops where you can buy gadgets or things to remind you of your experience at this fair; the fifth (5) and the sixth (6) pavilions are dedicated to board and card games; the seventh (7) pavilion is about Oriental culture and its characteristics; the eighth (8) pavilion, about videogames, is the last to be born in time.

What can you do during a day at Comicon?

What’s a cosplay?

It’s a performance art in which participants wear costumes and fashion accessories to represent a specific character of the cinema and comics to seems like him or her. Most visitors are cosplays.

p.s. if it’s your first cosplay don’t go heavy! The costumes keep warm and the queues for the bathrooms are endless.

How to reach the fair?

Personally, we think that the simplest way to reach the fair is by train. For example,

if you live near Naples, you can get the subway and get off at the stop “Campi

Flegrei”. You can also arrive to the fair by car but the traffic will always be an

obstacle.

You can buy a daily ticket which costs 15 euros or you can buy a four-day ticket

which costs 28 euros. These are the prices if you book the tickets in a travel agency

or at the entrance of the fair, instead you pay 12 euros and 25 euros if you book

them online.

How much do

the tickets cost?
