Unless you are taking our Pompeii tour with Amalfi Coast Drive (which includes an air-conditioned transport) we recommend that you take the train. Reaching Pompeii by train from Rome: First, take a train from Rome (“Roma Termini”) to Naples (“Napoli Centrale”). You can view train times, prices and book your tickets in advance on www.trenitalia.com. We recommend taking the fastest train, Frecciarossa, which takes about one hour. Once at the Napoli Centrale train station, take the Circumvesuviana train, which you can access directly from the Naples station. Take the Napoli-Sorrento Circumvesuviana line. Trains leave about every half hour, arriving at the Pompeii Scavi – Villa dei Misteri stop in about 30 minutes. For more information about the Circumvesuviana train schedule, please visit: http://www.vesuviana.it/web/en/Orari. By train from Sorrento or Naples: Take the Napoli-Sorrento Circumvesuviana line.
