Naples to Praiano with Daytrip’s private car service
Daytrip's private car service is the best way to get from Naples to Praiano if you care about speed, comfort, and convenience. Your driver will pick you up from anywhere you want in Naples and take you to your accommodation in Praiano. Along the way, you have the option to add excursions to UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Herculaneum Archaeological Area or Pompeii. And if you don't want to enrich your trip, you can be in Praiano in as little as 90 minutes!
Naples to Praiano by bus
If you are traveling from the Naples Airport (NAP), you can take the Curreri Viaggi shuttle bus to Sorrento for about 10 euros. It departs every 2 hours from the P1 parking area at NAP from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM every day (except for New Year and Christmas, so check ahead of time!)
After the hour-long (ish) trip to Sorrento, you have to change to a Sita bus to Praiano for another 45-minute ride. These buses run several times a day, and during the peak travel season, they depart every 30 minutes. Tickets for this leg of your journey are about $11-$13 (10 to 12 euros), but the ticket doesn’t guarantee you a seat and is often full.
Once you get to the Praiano bus station, you may need a taxi to get to your final destination, whether that is your hotel or the beach.
Naples to Praiano by train and bus
We'll preface by saying there's no train station in Praiano, but taking the train from the Napoli Centrale train station to Sorrento is the best public transportation option. The Circumvesuviana train to Sorrento leaves about every 30 minutes throughout the day and tickets are about $3 (3 euros). The tickets can’t be bought ahead of time, so during the peak travel season or weekends, you may experience overcrowding or selling out. This part of the trip takes 1 hour and 10 minutes.
For about $8 (7 euros), you can take the Campania Express which is slightly faster and geared towards tourists. It has A/C, luggage storage, and most importantly, you can buy tickets online in advance to guarantee a seat. Once in Sorrento, you’ll need to take a Sita bus or a taxi to Praiano.
Naples to Praiano by ferry
While there are no direct ferries from Naples to Praiano, if you’d like to take a ferry from Naples to Sorrento, that is totally possible! The Alilauro Hydrofoil departs from the Moro Beverello Pier in Naples for just $14 (13.10 euros). Once you’re in Sorrento, you’ll need a taxi or bus to get to your final destination in Praiano.
