Naples & Campania - Italy - page 1321

Regionale Regional; one way €11.20, 2¾ hours
Privately owned Italo ( 060708; www.italotreno.it ) runs high-velocity trains between
Stazione Centrale in Naples and numerous major Italian cities, including Rome (2nd class
one way €43, 70 minutes). Note that Italo trains from Naples to Rome stop at Roma-
Tiburtina station and not at the main Roma-Termini station.
Tickets for high-velocity trains can work out much cheaper if booked even a few days
in advance.
Circumvesuviana ( Click here ) trains connect Naples to Sorrento (€4.10, 68 minutes,
around 30 daily). Stops along the way include Ercolano (€2.20, 19 minutes) and Pompeii
(€2.90, 38 minutes). Trains leave from Stazione Circumvesuviana ( 800 211388;
www.eavcampania.it ; Corso Garibaldi) , adjacent to Stazione Centrale (follow the signs from the
main concourse).
Ferrovia Cumana ( 800 211388; www.eavcampania.it ) trains leave from Stazione Cumana
di Montesanto on Piazza Montesanto, 500m southwest of Piazza Dante, running to
Pozzuoli (€1.30, 22 minutes, every 20 minutes) and other Campi Flegrei towns beyond.
Ferrovia Circumflegrea, also based at Stazione Cumana di Montesanto, runs services to
other Campi Flegrei towns, most of little interest to travellers.
