Questions & Answers about Traveling from Rome to Positano

Is there a high-speed train from Rome to Positano?
There is no direct fast train, so you must take a train from Rome to Naples, then transfer to another train from Naples to Sorrento. There are high-speed trains available for both legs. Tickets can cost upwards of 50 euros with the Frecciarossa train line, but these trains are more comfortable and have perks like free Wi-Fi, onboard entertainment, a bar, and a restaurant. Once you arrive in Sorrento's train station, take a bus, ferry, or taxi to Positano.
What is the best way to get to Positano from Rome?
The best way to travel from Positano to Rome is by Daytrip's private car service. Unlike public transportation, Daytrip offers convenient and safe door-to-door transportation, a private driver, luggage handling, and cost-effective seat pricing.
Is a day trip from Rome to Positano worth it?
For most people, a day trip from Rome to Positano is worth it, considering you can see and do a lot during a day trip in this Italian coastal town. If you leave Rome early in the morning, that leaves you a full day to take a ferry ride, dine in a few cafes, do some shopping, swim in the ocean, visit some of the local churches, and enjoy the nightlife all in the span of a day. Just be sure to book a private driver so that you can get to Positano quickly and have enough time to explore!
Does Positano have a train station?
No, there is no train station in Positano. However, if you take the train to the Sorrento or Salerno train stations, the ferry takes you along the entire Amalfi Coast to Positano. Another option is the local Sita bus. For either of these options, the connections at night may be infrequent.
Can you purchase tickets or make seat reservations in advance for SITA buses in the Campania region?
No. Although prices are excellent, trying to navigate the SITA bus system should not be your first option. You must first find shops selling tickets, usually located near the bus station, then wait in line at the station for the next bus. If it fills up before the end of the line reaches you, you must wait for the proceeding bus. There is no way to book a specific seat for a specific time.
Is it better to hire a rental car or a private driver?
The entire Amalfi Coast has narrow, winding roads and limited parking, so opt for a local private driver for maximum comfort. This way, you can enjoy the breathtaking views and won't have to worry about finding parking located near your accommodation.
What is the cheapest way to get from Rome to Positano?
The cheapest way is to take the train from Rome to Naples, then change trains for Sorrento, then take a bus to Positano. However, the cheapest way is often the longest and least comfortable.
