A trip from Rome to Sorrento

- Our trip to Sorrento consisted of boarding a high speed train in Rome to Naples and then transferring to another train at Napoli P. Garibaldi station which took us from Naples to Sorrento. Once in Sorrento, we toured the city, ate at fantastic restaurants and used this area as a base for our Amalfi coast travel. Sorrento is a lovely city and we enjoyed our relaxing stay.

We’ll be in Rome in October. I’m sure I’ll be able to navigate getting tickets to Florence, but then we want to go to Sorrento after spending a few days in Florence. Is the only way to get from Florence to Sorrento through Naples? We were thinking of getting on a ferry once in Naples to go to Sorrento, but I know there’s trains from Naples to Sorrento. But, my question is, do we have to go to Naples to get to Sorrento?
If going by train yes.
Such a lovely video you two look like you had fun! Thanks for the tips & for showing the names of the restaurants 😊
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for commenting. Our trip to Italy was magical. We have lots of future trips planned. Stay tuned.
Thanks for sharing! Did you have to go to a different train station once you arrived in Naples or simply changed trains at the station you arrived in?
At Naples we had to change tracks (they were downstairs) and didn’t have to go to another station.
Where do i book tickers for Rome to Sorrento?
You can book tickets from Trenitalia. Just know it is a 2 part journey… Rome to Napoli on a high speed train… reservations required and the Napoli to Sorrento on a commuter train.
Thanks for this! Can I take a train from FCO Airport in Rome to Sorrento?
You can… however you will have to make 2 train changes…. A train from FCO to Termini train station and then another in Naples to go to Sorrento. You will see the train in the video.
@@dream.plan.do.travel. Got it, thank you so much! Will I only need a reservation for the train from Termini to Naples?
@@KristinSch4562 yes, you will need reservation from Termini to Naples. It is a lovely train. The one from Naples to Sorrento is more of a commuter train and it is an experience as the train was not like the Rome-Naples train. When we went, they had staff who escorted all the tourists downstairs to catch the train to Sorrento on Garibaldi train tracks. Am sure you will find more info if you look that up. It was MUCH cheaper than renting a ride pickup. Our hotel in Sorrento was a close walk to the train station. Having a sense of adventure makes these trips awesome. Enjoy.
@@KristinSch4562 Here is a post and info I wrote in an Italy travel Facebook group explaining the trip…
Naples to Sorrento and then to Florence on the train.
I have read a lot about some concern re travelling in Italy and particularly to Sorrento via train. It isn’t that hard. Trust me (thank you to my wonderful navigating husband…. I can get lost in a paper bag). We arrived in Naples from Rome on the Frecciarossa. It can be a little intimidating coming into a bustling station with so many people. Just stay calm and LOOK like you know what you are doing.
Make your way downstairs to the lower level to the Garibaldi station, walk all the way down the corridor to where you catch the Campina or the Circumvisuvia to travel to Sorrento. We chose to spend a little extra money and take the Campina Express. Benefits of this is there are guides who will take you down to the trains platform and they make sure you get on the train, less crowded, fewer stops. This service is for tourists. If you are a seasoned traveller and don’t mind being shoved in a busy, hot car with lots of day locals (some risk of pickpockets there) go for the cheaper option. We paid 50 EUR total return for 2 for reserved tickets on the Campina and for us money well spent. There isn’t much of a difference in trains, however. Just less stops, far less crowded and with friendly staff to assist. There is NO place to put your luggage and you are sitting on stiff plastic seats. This isn’t first class. Make sure you toilet prior to getting on the train. It is more like a subway train. 😉. When you reserve your ticket for the Campina Express you are assigned seat numbers. Some trains have seat numbers, others don’t (as we found out on our return trip so we just sat at the back of the train in a quiet area. Everyone tends to find the closest seat as soon as they get on the train.)
Sit back and relax and in a short time you will be in Sorrento. A very small station and short walk to the lovely town.
