Overview: Car trip from Praiano to Rome

The Amalfi coast is one of the most blissfully serene and beautiful places on the planet, and Praiano is a small town perched on its rocky hills in Italy. This town offers visitors centuries-old churches, cliffside restaurants, hidden coves, and unparalleled beach views that invite and entice the eyes with its sandy shores and sparkling waters. But eventually, you need to leave this seaside paradise and take a car trip from Praiano to Rome.

As one of the oldest cities in the world and fondly referred to as the “Eternal City”, Rome is a treasure trove of near-endless cultural and historical attractions and landmarks. To name a few, there’s the Colosseum, the port of Ostia Antica, Vatican City, and the Sistine Chapel.

When you ride from Praiano to Rome with Daytrip, you’re guaranteed the best way to get to this incredible city. Your professional English-speaking driver will pick you up in Praiano and drop you off wherever you'd like in Rome. Along the way, you can chat with them about local culture, get tips on what to do in Rome, and stop at a few of the most beautiful sights along the way. So what are you waiting for?

About Rome

The illustrious city of Rome lies on the Tiber River, just a few miles from the Tyrrhenian Sea. It was once the capital of an ancient republic and empire. Its armies and politics defined the Western world for centuries and, to date, still have influence. Today, Rome remains the physical and spiritual seat of the Roman Catholic church. And as the "Eternal City", it remains a religious center, cultural hub, and memorial for the creative imagination of the past.

Rome is believed to have been founded by Latium villagers and settlers from the surrounding hills in 625 BC in response to an Etruscan invasion. Yet it wasn’t until 600 BC that Rome became a city, according to archaeological evidence indicating great change occurred during this century.

As the centuries passed, Rome developed, spurring the construction of hundreds of churches, monuments, and ancient structures alongside spectacular fountains, mausoleums, and gladiator buildings. So much was built in Rome that the city proudly has the highest concentration of architectural, historical, and archaeological heritage worldwide. In fact, Rome has more than 16 percent of the world's cultural heritage and 70 percent of Italian heritage present in this small city. So when you visit, you should expect to be blown away by its many wonders.

Besides being historically, architecturally, and archaeologically beautiful, Rome is also one of Europe's greatest cities thanks to its treasure trove of gardens, lush vegetation, parks, and staggering landscapes. Not to mention its villas, historic residences, and luxurious eateries, which sell some of the most delicious pasta you’ll ever enjoy in this lifetime.

From Praiano to Rome: Travel tips

Other European cities might have museums, but Rome is an open-air museum in and of itself. This famed city was once the center of the Roman Empire, so it is unsurprising that it possesses history, charm, and chaos, drawing people in from across all corners of the globe. If you’ve decided to travel from Praiano to Rome, you’ve got much to look forward to, but you must keep a few travel tips in mind.

Carry cash

Much of Italy, including Rome, relies predominantly on cash transactions., which is a stark difference from other places in the world. So if you’re traveling from Praiano to Rome, keep sufficient cash on hand.

Now, we’re not talking hundreds or thousands, but having a few notes and some coins will go a long way if you want to stop for lunch or go sightseeing along the way from Praiano to Rome and in the ancient city itself.

Book attraction tickets in advance

Rome and many of the cities along the way from Praiano to Rome have numerous attractions that people want to see, making these places incredibly busy. If you don't book tickets in advance, you risk not being able to see some of the places on your bucket list. Luckily, most attractions allow (or even require) online ticket bookings, so with a few clicks, you’ll have avoided disappointment.

Sightseeing along the way

It's true that Rome is one of the grandest cities to visit, but there are plenty of places on the way from Praiano to Rome that you don’t want to miss out on. Luckily, if you ride with Daytrip, you’ll be able to take advantage of the many sightseeing opportunities, such as Pompeii, Bosco de' Medici, Mount Vesuvius, and the Herculaneum Archaeological Area. Your private driver will be enthused to take you to these beautiful places and share local tips and insights!

How to get from Praiano to Rome

There are numerous ways to get from Praiano to Rome. Below are a few of the best transportation options, whether you’re on a budget or not. So have a look and choose which one belongs on your itinerary.

From Praiano to Rome by bus

The Marozzi VT bus line operates buses from Praiano to Rome. This coach only offers this trip five times a week, and the schedule changes, so it's important to book online, as booking in person could lead to disappointment. In addition, prepare for it to cost between $18 and $26 per ticket, and the trip should take about five hours and 20 minutes.

The bus is affordable, but it is not luxurious. You will find the typical cramped seating seen on buses, and you shouldn’t expect any sightseeing stops. This bus sells out quickly since it is the only one available in Praiano, so keep this in mind when planning your trip to Rome.

From Praiano to Rome by train

There isn’t a direct train from Praiano to Rome, so you will need to take a taxi to the Castellammare di Stabia train station. From here, take the train to Napoli Centrale and then transfer to another train that will take you the rest of the way to Rome's train station.

Typically, this entire journey will take about two hours and 45 minutes, and the price is between $166 and $258. The train is better than the bus in terms of comfort, but you won't have the freedom to sightsee, nor will you get to take in the beautiful scenery quite as easily as if you were driving. Also, taking the train can get expensive if you're traveling in a group.

From Praiano to Rome by Daytrip private car service

If you value comfort, convenience, safety, and reliability, Daytrip's private car service is the best way to travel from Praiano to Rome. Daytrip's door-to-door service offers stress-free trips from Praiano to Rome on your schedule. Your experienced local driver has the skills and knowledge to ensure an enjoyable trip.

Prices start at 93 euros per person, making it downright affordable, especially if you're traveling in a group. Even better, since Daaytrip drivers speak English, you’ll be able to chat about the places you want to visit and stop and sightsee or get their insights on local culture or what to do in Rome. What more could you ask for?

From Praiano to Rome by flight

Praiano doesn't have an airport, so there are no flights from Praiano to Rome. In fact, we'd recommend not even considering this option. If you want to take a flight, you must take two buses and a train to the Naples airport before being able to get a flight from Naples to Rome. If you manage to time everything perfectly, the total travel time would be about 7.5 hours, including the 2 hours needed for check-in and security at the airport. In contrast, you can make it door-to-door by private car in about 3.5 hours.

Things to do when you get to Rome

It can be an incredibly overwhelming task to prioritize where to visit, considering this dense and ancient city has much to see and do. Fortunately, you don't need to ask yourself over and over again where to visit first when driving from Praiano to Rome. We’ve compiled the list below of the best things to do when you get to Rome. So buckle up and get your itinerary out.

Galleria Doria Pamphilj

The Galleria Doria Pamphilj houses the largest private art collection in all of Rome and is open to the public! So, if you’re interested in 15th and 17th-century art, visiting the Galleria Doria Pamphilj will be a dream come true.

This art gallery can be found in a grand palace that still belongs to the Doria Pamphilj family. A walk down its ornate walls will overwhelm you with artistic wonders, and best of all, it's not busy often, so you won’t feel like you’re being smothered by crowds.

Colosseum

You cannot visit Rome without exploring the Colosseum. It might be one of the most touristy attractions in the city, but it's well worth a visit, considering it lives up to the hype.

When touring the Colosseum, you’ll learn how it used to be used for wild beast hunts, gladiator fights to the death, public executions, and many other ancient events. Depending on your preferences, you can book a day or night tour where you’ll get to walk through the stands and visit the caged areas that house the gladiators.

Just don't forget to have a look at the incredibly ancient medieval artistic renderings of the building's past events before you leave.

Palatine Hill

If you’re looking to do some outdoor explorations when visiting Rome, you need to add Palatine Hill to the List. This attraction is one of the best in the city. It can be described as an awe-inspiring open-air museum (much like the rest of Rome) with its sprawling landscape and countless buildings.

When you visit, you can see the emperor's palaces, medieval churches, manicured gardens, and the terrace overlooking the Forum, another worthwhile attraction. What’s more, your ticket will also cover the Forum and the Colosseum, so it's worth a half-day visit.

Explore the Vatican

Tick another country off your travel bucket list and see some of the finest art and architecture in the world in Vatican City. The Vatican is actually its own country, holding the title of the world's smallest nation, in the heart of Rome. Although it's small in size, there are plenty of things to do to entertain yourself.

St. Peter Basilica, a stunning Renaissance-style church built in the 1600s, is still the pope's home today. In the Vatican Museums, you'll find priceless treasures collected by previous popes over the centuries, including works by masters, like Michalangelo, Raphael, Da Vinci, and Caravaggio. And then there's the simply outstanding Sistine Chapel, where you can admire the world's most well-known fresco, Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam.

When is the best time to visit Rome?

Considering all it has to offer, it's unsurprising that Rome is the third most visited city in Europe despite its iffy (cough cough, high cough) pricing. With prices on the higher side compared to other cities, you might be wondering when the best time to visit would be. Usually, the best time to visit when traveling from Praiano to Rome depends on your preferences and what you plan.

But in general, if you want to visit the outdoor attractions, you should visit during mid-March, April, and September to early November. These shoulder seasons have pleasant weather and fewer crowds than the scorching summer high season. If you're on a budget, visit Rome in November, December, January, or February. The weather is a bit colder with more frequent rain, but there are deals on accommodation. Regardless of when you visit, you’ll be met by a vibrant environment, delicious food, and iconic attractions.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.

Daytrip never disappoints

We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.

Great experience!

I booked Daytrip to drive us from Rome to Praiano (Amalfi coast) with a 2 hour stop at Pompeii. There were 6 of us with a lot of luggage. Alessandro was our driver and he was wonderful! He showed up right on time in Rome ( actually a little early but he just said he was ready whenever we were!), loaded all of our bags and we were off! He was very personable, spoke great English and was able to give us so much information about the things we were seeing along the way. We made one stop for snacks and coffee during our trip, as well as our 2 hours in Pompeii. It was great having someone drop us off at the entrance and he stayed with our bags at his van while we explored, then was ready to go when we were. He delivered us safely to our Airbnb in Praiano. I would highly recommend using Daytrip and will definitely use them again on our next European adventure. And if you're leaving from Rome, ask for Alessandro!
