Trains to Pompeii
Mt. Vesuvius and the ancient Roman cities it buried in AD 79 (most famously Pompeii and Herculaneum) lie on the southern curve of the Bay of Naples, south of the city.
The best way to see them is by using the commuter rail line EAV/Circumvesuviana, a clattering old suburban rail line from Naples (so first: Get to Naples).
Which train line do I take to get to Pompeii?
The Circumvesuviana has several train lines. The one you want is the line out to Sorrento, with departures roughly every 20 minutes.
It services Herculaneum ("Ercolano-Scavi" in Italian; 17 min), Vesuvius (same stop), Pompei-–Villa dei Misteri (36 min.), and Sorrento (60 min.).
When you alight at Pompei-–Villa dei Misteri, turn right out of the station, and the Porta Marina entrance to the Pompeii archeological site is just a few hundred feet down on your left.
Continue down this road to enter the modern town of Pompei after about ten minutes.
Note: There is another Circumvesuviana line that can also get you to Pompeii. The Napoli—Poggiomarino line has a stop called Pompei-Santuario. You could do that, but consider:
- (a) It's a longer walk from an archaeological park entrance (about five blocks from the Piazza Anfiteatro entrance)
- (b) It's less frequent (hourly most of the day, half-hourly early in the morning and again in late afternoon)
- (c) It's a bit longer ride (45 min, vs. 36 min)
Where to find the EAV/Circumvesuviana station in Naples
If you're arriving in Naples by rail, the Napoli Centrale station is where most trains arrive.
However, finding the EAV/Circumvesuviana station—which is called Piazza Garibaldi and lies underneath Napoli Centrale train station—can be a bit tricky.
Head toward the train station's main exit, but just before you get there, look to the left for a staircase leading down (which, a few years ago, they finally labelled with a "Circumvesuviana" sign).
Continue following those "Circumvesuviana" signs—but partway along the hall stop at the ticket windows on your left to purchase your tickets.
Finding the right platform; boarding the right train
The binario (platform) for the Pompei-bound trains will be displayed.
That part is easy.
However, several different commuter lines will use the same platform, so ask around to be sure the train pulling in is bound for Pompeii/Sorrento before stepping on board.
(Over the years, I've probably stopped at least 50 fellow tourists from getting on the wrong train—and those were just the people who happened to be standing next to me on the platform.)
Beware of pickpockets every step of the way. The Naples train station is the black hole of Italian pickpockets, and they love to work the tourist-packed Circumvesuviana train as well.

Get picked up from your hotel or other accommodation, or at the port or train station of Naples for this 7-hour trip back in time.
Head for the enormous volcano of Mt. Vesuvius, which looms across the bay from Naples, 5.6 mi (9 km) away from the city. It is the only mainland European volcano to have erupted in the last hundred years, although it is currently sleeping. Most famously it erupted in 79 AD, burying Pompeii and Herculaneum in ash, killing an estimated 10,000 to 25,000 people. Today it is still regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes because 3 million people live nearby and Vesuvius eruptions tend to be explosive rather than gentle. The last eruption was in March 1944 which destroyed several nearby villages.
Next, visit the excavation of the city of Herculaneum. Here is a city frozen in time, stopped in action when Vesuvius erupted. Remains of temples, villas, and streets have been uncovered and they look eerily like they might have 2,000 years ago. You will even get to see the people who were turned to stone trying to flee the city in its final hours. While it's somewhat overshadowed by Pompeii, Herculaneum is actually better preserved. Rather than being buried in hot ash, it was engulfed by a mudslide, thereby conserving a lot of the wooden beams roofs domestic items.
At the end of your visit to Herculaneum, you'll be returned to your original departure point.
It is one of the pearls of the Mediterranean Sea that every year is reached by the yachts of the most famous VIPs, the characteristic narrow streets, famous in the world for exclusive shopping, become the catwalk of important personalities.
Sorrento reaching it from the sea has the exact perception (of why Sorrento) of why it was a city of strategic importance. Going along it in its alleys you have the conviction of staying in one of the most romantic and evocative places you can know.
Visiting the excavations of Pompeii gives us the exact yardstick for comparing the beauty of the tourist sites, since the times of the Greeks, with the simplicity of everyday life in a city like Pompeii, even if it is possible to imagine also the lust of the Roman patricians admiring frescoes and mosaics that were only executed in villas of a certain prestige.

End of the tour: Return to Naples
Mount Vesuvius sits dormant in the Italian landscape but in the year 79 AD it woke up, furiously destroying everything in its surroundings in just a matter of hours. This was the fate Pompeii and Herculaneum had to go through. Thanks to its natural preservation under the ashes, these two towns let its visitors know how life was before and after the tragic event.
Explore the beautiful ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum on a private day trip with a licensed guide. This experience will take you on a trip back in time where youll see how these two towns were affected by the Vesuvius eruption in a different way. And thanks to the historical and archeological background of your licensed guide, the stories and facts will bring the cities back to life.
Your historical journey starts at the Pompeiis train station where your licensed guide awaits. As soon as you set foot in the remains of this city, youll be transported to another era. Feel the history as you visit the theatre, the sacred area, and a brothel with signs and symbols all around. See the preservation techniques in all its splendor with the plastered casts of some of the victims.
Herculaneum offers a different sight to its visitors. Here, you have a panoramic view of the city and its ruins and remains due to how different the eruption and ashes reached the town. See the contrasts between these two cursed cities and how different they were affected by the eruption. While in Pompeii you see more of the public areas, in Herculaneum you have an intimate look into the lives of the people that used to live here. Check out an ancient shore, a private house, a bakery and more.
The licensed guides on this tour are natural storytellers who cant wait to share some of the most unique stories and personal anecdotes with you!

Tips
If you're arriving in Naples by rail, the Napoli Centrale station is where most trains arrive.
However, finding the EAV/Circumvesuviana—which runs underneath Napoli Centrale train station—can be a bit tricky.
Head toward the train station's main exit, but just before you get there, look to the left for a staircase leading down (which, a few years ago, they finally labelled with a "Circumvesuviana" sign).
Continue following those "Circumvesuviana" signs—but partway along the hall stop at the ticket windows on your left to purchase your tickets.
The binario (platform) for the Pompei-bound trains will be displayed. That part is easy.
However, several different commuter lines will use the same platform, so ask around to be sure the train pulling in is bound for Sorrento before stepping on board.
(Over the years, I've probably stopped at least 50 fellow tourists from getting on the wrong train—and those were just the people who happened to be standing next to me on the platform.)
Beware of pickpockets every step of the way (the Naples train station is the black hole of Italian pickpockets, and they love to work the tourist-packed Circumvesuviana train as well).

* You can use this formula for all Italian ten-place numbers—so 31 is trent'uno, 32 is trenta due, 33 is trenta tre, etc. Note that—like uno (one), otto (eight) also starts with a vowel—all "-8" numbers are also abbreviated (vent'otto, trent'otto, etc.).
General tips of similar interest
Unlimited train travel in Italy, or Italy and some neighboring countries, or even all of Europe—Is a Eurail pass worth it?
Like the trains themselves, Italian train stations tend to be clean and user-friendly—with tourist info, hotel booking service, left luggage lockers or offices, and decent snack bars (in case you forget to pick up train picnic supplies in town)
Sleeping on an overnight train is a relatively safe endeavor, but take a few sensible precautions to avoid pickpockets and thieves and sleep more soundly
