Once you get off at the stop, you can take a pedestrian tunnel towards the Archaeological Museum, therefore, once you exit the tunnel, you need to go to one of the bus stops and take one of the following buses:

It is necessary to take the "Tangenziale" up to the exit Capodimonte and continue on Via Capodimonte (obligatory direction), then make the roundabout going up again in via Capodimonte, to reach the intersection with the traffic light. Then turn right and after about 200m turn right again to reach via S.Antonio a Capodimonte. Then go straight on keeping to the left, going up Salita Moiariello and after ~ 100m you will find the entrance to the observatory on the right.
