How do I get from Rome to the Amalfi Coast?

There are many ways to get from Rome to Amalfi, but the most popular modes of transportation are by train, bus, or car, with private car services like Daytrip. Daytrip offers affordable luxury private transfers and door-to-door services with friendly English-speaking drivers. The bus takes several hours but is cheap if you're on a budget.

Is Amalfi or Cinque Terre better?

Whether Amalfi or Cinque Terre is better to visit depends on your travel needs and preferences. Cinque Terre is better suited to families and solo travelers on a budget since it has many family-run guesthouses and backpacker hostels.

In contrast, Amalfi is better if you prefer higher-end resorts, restaurants, and beach clubs, and want to spend more than a day exploring.

Tolle Kommunikation mit einer echten Person! Sie bringen dich ÜBERALL hin, ohne vorgegebene Routen zur Auswahl.

“Eine Planänderung in letzter Minute und Daytrip war unsere letzte Option, also schrieb ich ihnen und erhielt sofort eine Antwort von einer echten Person – beste Situation überhaupt. Wir hatten Daytrip noch nie zuvor genutzt, aber die Bewertungen waren unglaublich, also haben wir es gewagt und gegen 23-24 Uhr einen Fahrer gebucht. Als wir am nächsten Morgen um 7 Uhr aufwachten, hatten sie bereits einen Fahrer für uns gefunden, und der Fahrer hatte uns bereits per SMS kontaktiert! Sehr beeindruckt, und wir werden sie auf jeden Fall wieder nutzen. Wir sind von Dubrovnik, Kroatien, nach Tivat, Montenegro, gefahren.”

Perfekter Transport

“Andreas hat großartige Arbeit geleistet, uns vom Kreuzfahrthafen Piräus abzuholen und zu unserer Unterkunft in Spata zu bringen. Die drei von uns hatten eine lange Kreuzfahrt hinter sich und 9 Gepäckstücke dabei. Er kam mit einem passenden Fahrzeug und hat alles be- und entladen. Wir sind sehr glücklich mit unserer Entscheidung, mit Daytrip zu buchen.”

Private Tour and Transfer from Rome to Amalfi Coast.

“I signed up for a private tour and transfer from Rome to Praiano on the Amalfi Coast and I was so happy I did it. My tour guide Alberto C. was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all the sights. He was able to give me insight into the areas I traveled through and taught me a bit of Italian! I also felt very safe and, although the cost is a bit higher then public transport for a single traveler, it is so worth avoiding the chaos of single travel with lots of transitions in Italy during the busy season. So worth every dime!!! I also had the great pleasure of making two stops on my trip. One to a winery (which was also fantastic) and another to Pompeii. If I had not done these in the way to Praiano I may not have had the chance. It was a really cost effective way for me to explore Italy in a relaxed and air conditioned way!”
