Taking the train from Sorrento to Naples is mainly recommended for those traveling alone or in pairs and must continue the journey from Naples to other destinations (Rome, Florence, Milan, Venice) with the high-speed train. The trains that arrive in Naples from Sorrento are in the same station that connects Naples to the major Italian cities: in less than five minutes you can jump from one train to another.

There are two lines that connect Sorrento to Naples by train, the Circumvesuviana and the Campania express.

Circumvesuviana:

The Circumvesuviana line is a railway line that connects Sorrento to Naples.

The journey time from Sorrento to Naples is about 90 minutes, but delays due to problems or strikes also occur. You can buy the train ticket from Sorrento to Naples at the Sorrento station, we advise you to go about twenty minutes before because there may be queues or crowds. To those who ask us if the Circumvesuviana is safe we ​​can only rely on the reputation and reviews that are already on the web and find that in addition to being a line that does not offer air conditioning and many seats, it often causes delays and inconvenience. Personally, there is nothing to fear but I always recommend keeping your eyes open and being careful of any pickpockets. In any case, avoid peak times to avoid traveling as tight as sardines.

CampaniaExpress:

Created specifically for travellers and workers heading to Naples from Sorrento, the Campania Express train line offers air conditioning, guaranteed seating and greater efficiency than the Circumvesuviana.

The port of Beverello is located in the heart of the city, but a little distant from the station and Naples airport.
