Day Trip to Pompeii & Sorrento
 

It is possible to leave Rome early in the morning on the train, go to Pompeii and see Sorrento all in one day? I tried to check out the Circumvesuviana website but it's in Italian and I don't speak/read a word of Italian. We're going to Rome in November, and many of the tours to Pompeii from Rome are from April to October 31st.

Sorry - should have read "is it possible"

Hi B,

It is possible.

It is also a very looooooong day.

Take the AV or ES* from Rome TE to Naples Centrale or Garibaldi (same station - different levels)

info is at www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html

Take the Circumvesuviana from the lower level of Centrale (Garibaldi) to Pompei Scavi.

Don;t worry about the schedule. The C is a commuter train.

From PS take the C to Sorrento.

What's the rest of your itinerary?

((I))

Leaving Las Vegas on 11/5, arriving Rome on 11/6. Friend from Ireland is flying to Rome and joining me on the 6th. We're both leaving for home on 11/13. She was in Rome over for a weekend with her husband so she's seen a few things. I've never been to Rome.

If you decide to do a day-trip to Pompeii, I wouldn't bother continuing on to Sorrento. After your time at Pompeii, go back to Naples, see some of the sights and have dinner. Then catch a late train back to Rome.

Don't do the day trip if rain is in the forecast.
