Transfert en voiture privée de Rome à Praiano

Right after leaving the dynamic and lively Rome and its urban surroundings, soon you will have vast farms, olive groves, and hills as your views from each car window. This part of your trip will serve as a glimpse into Italy's rural beauty and agricultural heartland. As you approach Naples, you'll start getting glances of the sea as you head towards the Amalfi Coast. And finally, from Sorrento on, the famous Amalfi Drive will begin, taking you along a narrow and winding road with unparalleled vistas of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

One of the best parts of traveling with Daytrip is that you can plan the stops along the way and take as much time as you need to explore all your route has to offer. Start with Anfiteatro Campano, Italy's oldest and second-largest amphitheater, built sometime between the 1st century BC and 2nd century AD. Take a stroll in the underground chambers, trap doors, and ancient Roman tombs. Add Mount Vesuvius as your second stop, where you can take a hike around and to the top of the famous mountain that destroyed Pompeii and its surrounding towns with its eruption on August 24, 79 AD. Check our recommended stops for more inspiration.

The town is naturally decorated with dramatic coves and cliffs, beaten with blue waves of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Thanks to Praiano’s unique location, it houses the only beach on the whole Amalfi Coast where you can enjoy watching the sunset in its entirety.

Mirroring the distinct "vertical" nature of the towns along the Amalfi Coast, the upper section of the town is known as "Praiano Vettica," while the lower section, nearest to the sea, is called "Praiano Inferiore". From the upper part, it's possible to access the Path of the Gods, which starts in Agerola and ends in Nocelle, a small village perched above Positano.

While not as well known as Positano, don’t underestimate this small corner of the coast. It has everything you need from a trip in Italy; sun-drenched days by the beach, crystal clear waters, a chance to withdraw from crowds, and fresh and delicious Italian food.

Control your trip

Daytrip wants you to have your ride exactly how you want it. If you have any special requests or requirements, you can mention these in your booking or contact the customer support team. During your trip, communicate any specific requests or preferences to your driver, whether it's the AC temperature or if you want to stop for a quick photo.

Stop for sightseeing

Along with being the only direct way to travel from Rome to Praiano, Daytrip also is the only travel option that lets you stop for sightseeing. Take advantage of this unique opportunity and enrich your Italian holiday by stopping at must-see sites along the route, such as the imposing Mount Vesuvius or the ancient ruins of Pompeii.

Smart-packing is essential

Pack enough water, nutritious snacks, sunscreen, and lightweight clothes for your trip. Italy’s sun can be quite direct, especially during the summer months. Keep essentials like a hat, sunglasses, and water with you, so you don't have to interrupt your ride looking for something in your suitcase.

Rome to Praiano by car-rental

Rent a car for complete flexibility to go at your own pace and for a scenic drive. Take the A1 autostrada to Naples, then follow the A3 towards Salerno, exiting for the Amalfi Coast. While driving a rental gives you complete control, there are some major drawbacks. First, the Amalfi Coast has limited which days rental cars can enter, based on the license plate number. Then, on the day you are allowed to drive, the narrow and winding roads on the Amalfi Coast can be challenging, even for experienced drivers. Additionally, parking in Praiano is limited and often expensive.

Rome to Praiano by private car with Daytrip

Book a private car service for the most direct and comfortable way to get to Praiano from Rome. You still have complete control of your ride, from the pick-up time to sightseeing, without any drawbacks like parking in Praiano. The convenience, flexible schedule, door-to-door service, and the opportunity to make scenic stops along the way are invaluable. Adding to the experience, your friendly local driver would be happy to share their insights about local culture and things to do when you get to Praiano.

Rome to Praiano by plane to Naples then by car or bus

While you can fly from Rome to Naples, then take a bus, train, or private car from Naples to Praiano, this option only makes sense if you're already in the Rome airport - in which case, it's better to book your flight to Naples instead of Rome in the first place. Otherwise, it's not worth the time, even thinking about it.

Walk on the Path of the Gods

Don’t leave the Amalfi Coast before embarking on this famous odyssey. Hiking the Path of Gods is all about incomparable views of the coast, Capri, and the surrounding mountains. Legend says that the path was shaped by gods when they rushed to the earth to save Ulysses from the siren’s song, hence the name.

Being accessible for most skill levels means the trail gets extremely crowded during the high travel season. It's better to plan your visit around the shoulder months - from March to June or September to October. Keep in mind that it takes four to five hours to complete the trek, and it is at a height of 2065 ft (630 m).

Take a dip in the Fiordo di Furore

Right next to Praiano lies this stunning fjord (well, technically a ria) and one of the Amalfi Coast's most iconic beaches. Imagine a beach tucked away at the bottom of a deep gorge, which stays cool from morning to evening and is covered by a soothing shade almost all day. Then add a small bridge arched above the bright blue waters. All this is part of a town called Furore, near Praiano, and is easily accessible. After enjoying this tiny beach, continue to explore the town’s white-washed houses with artwork lined up on their walls.

Be mesmerized at the Festival of San Domenico

If you're planning to visit in the summer, try to make sure you're in Praiano on August 4th for the Festival of San Domenico. Since 1599, Praiano has celebrated the Festival of San Domenico by decorating homes with wax and oil lamps.

The light displays, people coming together in candle-lit streets, and music filling the town is downright enchanting. This tradition honors the arrival of Dominican Monks at Santa Maria a Castro Monastery, inspired by a prophetic dream about Domenico spreading "God's word throughout the world." Have a glimpse of how beautiful the festival looks here.

Spring is particularly magical as the coastline is bursting with flowers, the weather is perfectly balmy, and sweet evening breezes come with the sunset. Early fall brings a serene atmosphere, allowing for a more relaxed exploration of Praiano and its surroundings.

Additionally, these times offer the chance to experience local festivals and events with fewer tourists and a more authentic glimpse into the Amalfi Coast's culture and traditions.
