We haven't used the Porta Nolana station. I'd be surprised if it's any worse than the underground at Napoli Centrale, however. We haven't been to the museum or taken the metro. I didn't even know they had a metro! :) The... More

Cheap and panoramic

Cheap mean of transport very panoramic in many parts of the path all around the volcano Vesuvio. There are 5 different lines. Crowded in rush hour but a good way to see all around Naples.

Gets you there; purchase 3-day pass if doing Pompeii

While yes, you need to PUSH your way in from NAPLES as it is the Second stop on the line and all the locals hang by the door, just look down and push your luggage in front of you and just keep going. There is...More

Cheap transport to Pompei but be vigilant

We took the train from Garibaldi station to Pompeii Scavi. At the Garibaldi station, the ticket office is where you might get scammed. I read prior to our trip from many Tripadvisor posts that there is an old man that will give you improper change...More

Fears unfounded!

We spent nearly a year reading Trip Advisor reviews of this train service, the great majority of which reported dirty trains, unreliable timetables, dangerous stations, and unsavory passengers on the prowl for pickpocketing opportunities. We nearly spent a fortune on hiring a private van to...More

Cheapest way to get to Pompei

This is a cheap and easy way to get to Herculaneum and Pompei from Naples. Straight forward to buy a ticket at the ticket office (make sure you buy at the Circumvesuviana office as they have separate tickets (think it was a NA2 or NA3...More

Public transport

We took the train from Porta Nolana and found it just fine. It's not luxury travel but it's pretty similar to any other metro/subway style rail system. We got seats both ways to and from Pompeii. It was a cold, rainy day so the heating...More

Very crowded!

Pretty dirty trains, seat numbers mean nothing, first there gets a seat! OK if going from Sorrento as it's a terminus but not so good if you are getting on at Herculaneum! Expect to stand & look after your valuables!

A basic commuter railway network - gets you there

We were there in October when it wasn't too hot, so the lack of air conditioning wasn't a problem. On one occasion the train left about 15 minutes late. We had no trouble at all with anyone on board. It looked as if it could...More

A milk run from Naples to Sorrento at best. Way overly crowded. My wallet was stolen within the first two stops. It is a body to body experience, full of nasty, smelly people who shove you around like a leaf in the wind. There is...More
