GETTING TO SORRENTO
How to get to Sorrento
FROM NAPLES
The Campania Express
This train offers a comfortable, air-conditioned ride with reserved seating from
Naples to Sorrento, stopping only at key tourist sites like Pompeii and Herculaneum.
The journey takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes, with one-way tickets costing
around €15. The train runs several times daily, and tickets can be purchased online
or at EAV InfoPoint ticket desks in Naples. Popular choice!
Regional Train
The Circumvesuviana train runs from Napoli Centrale to Sorrento. The journey
takes about 1 hour and 9 minutes and costs between €6 and €10. Trains run
frequently, about every 30 minutes. WORST OPTION in my opinion.
Ferry
You can also take a ferry from Naples Beverello to Sorrento. The ferry ride takes
around 45 minutes and costs between €16 and €40. Ferries run frequently
throughout the day. This option is too much hassle after a long flight.
Bus
Another option is to take a bus from Ferraris-Circumvesuviana station to Sorrento.
The bus journey takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes and costs between €4 and €7.
Buses run frequently, but it can be a bit crowded during peak times. It’s the least
expensive option so I included it.
Private Car
This is the most expensive option at about €68 but offers the most convenience and
privacy. If I am going to splurge on something, this is it!
Drive
If you prefer to drive, take the A3 motorway from Naples to Sorrento. The drive
takes about an hour depending on traffic and costs around €9 to €12 for tolls. When
you approach Meta, pull over when you can to take some stunning photos. Like the
one I took on the next page!
