Naples - Sorrento (Circumvesuvian Train)

The train between Naples and Sorrento is a very cheap and quick way to travel between the two cities. Unfortunately, it also happens to be one of the worst in terms of pick-pocketing. There are countless stories floating around of tourists being targetted, so be aware. If you are set on using this train service, wear a money belt or be very aware of the potential for pickpockets.

Trains travel to/from the main station at Naples (Stazione Napoli Centrale on Piazza Garibaldi) regularly throughout the day, and travel along the cost between the city and Sorrento. Some trains stop more often than others. If you are in a hurry to reach your destination, look out for 'Diretto' trains.

More information is available on the Circumvesuvian website, which also hosts a useful journey planner.

Trains leave roughly every half an hour between the hours of 06.00 and 23.00 every day. Journeys take between 45mins and 1hr 25mins, depending on whether you catch a direct or indirect service. The full list of stations that this service calls at can be seen below:
