Travel Distance Between Rome And Sorrento

I am planning a trip on my own ( no organized tour Co) I am wondering what the travel time via train would be from Rome to Sorrento via Naples.

Also would like to know if the following trip seems possible and stress free havng never been there before. And allowing time to get a flavor for the country.
Fly USA to Venice spend two night
Travel Venice to Florence spend 3 Nights
Travel Florence to Rome spend 3 nights
Travel Rome to Sorrento spend 3 nights
Travel Sorrento to Rome for Air travel home

With a schedule like this , am I going to feel I am always moving ?, will this be too hurried ? - could really use some advice .

Thnaks

Mike p

Given jet lag, I'd like to see you drop Sorrento and spend more time in Venice. Venice is the perfect city for recovering from jet lag.

You could also allocate more days to Rome. 3 nights is only 2 days, which seems ridiculous given all there is to see in Rome.

But it's pretty easy to take the train between these cities. To get from Rome to Sorrento, you take the train to Naples (about 1.5 hours) and switch inside the terminal to the commuter train Circumvesuviana. (One of) its termini is Sorrento; the trip takes about an hour.

If you are flying out of Rome, you will probably need to spend the night before in Rome. Maybe you should train from Florence to Naples/Sorrento and then spend your last few days in Rome.

Thanks , to all of you for the help , this is only my first week trying to put this trip together, so I am learning a lot , I really want to try to see the big three cities, along with a day trip or two ( Isle of Capri when in Sorrento , and a trip to Siena, and San Gimigano , when in Florence.) there is jus to som much we want to see and so little time. 13 -14 days , usually is a long time to be away,, traveling to Italiy however..... well i think I would like a month. Anyway thanks for the suggestions, have already planned things differnt based on all the great information from you and others.

Hi M,

If you have 13-14 days, flying into Venice and out of Rome is perfect.

PS,

If you want to see the AC, you could fly into Naples, train to Rome and continue to Florence and Venice.

Or

You could fly www.alpieagles.com from Naples to Venice and exit from Rome.
