Getting to Sorrento




It is very easy to get from Naples Airport to Sorrento. The easiest way is to catch a direct bus; other options include train, taxi, car or boat.

By Bus

Six daily buses run by Curreri, leaving from directly outside the airport’s arrivals area. Buses stop at most of the towns along the Sorrento coast (Castellamare, Vico Equense, Meta di Sorrento, Piano di Sorrento, Sant’Agnello) before arriving in the center of Sorrento, in Piazza Tasso. €6 one-way, reservations not needed.



See here for more info.

There is also a direct local bus service from the airport to the central train station in Naples in you want to visit Naples before coming to Sorrento.

By Train

If are at the main Naples train station in Piazza Garibaldi take the stairs to the underground and head for the Circumvesuviana line. Trains to Sorrento depart every 20 minutes and an hour.

Tickets costs about €2.60 one-way, you can buy tickets from the ticket stand or at most newsagents in the station. Remember to validate tickets in the yellow machines in the station before you board the train.

Sorrento's train station is located in the centre of town, five minutes' walk from the main Piazza Tasso along Corso Italia.

By Boat

There are hydrofoils linking Naples to Sorrento, from the main Naples port (Molo Beverello), a taxi ride away from the main rail station. They take about 40 minutes to Sorrento and cost about €5. Since April is still low season, there are only 3 boats for Sorrento, at 8:25am, 2:15 pm and 7:15 pm.

The hydrofoils and the ferries go to the port of Sorrento, about 500m from the town center and served by the shuttle buses to and from Piazza Tasso.

Further information from the ferry company and from the tourist office.

By Car

There are several car-hire companies at Naples airport, such as Hertz, Sixt, Europcar and Avis, but bear in mind that parking is limited in Sorrento. General directions are:

Take the A3 out of Naples and exit at Castellammare di Stabia. This will take you to the SS Sorrentina 145 - the coastal road to Sorrento. You can find more info on routes and motorways here.
