How To Arrive
by Concetta Caccaviello
Sorrento has a strategic position which allows it to be easily reached either by car, train, bus, or by sea.
Travelling by car, driving along the motorway A 2 Rome-Naples for those who come from the north, or the A 16 Bari-Naples for those who come from the south, you get onto the A 3. Exiting at Castellammare of Stabia, you arrive to the SS Sorrentine 145 - that travelling alongside the sea - permits you to reach Sorrento. The SS 145 offers an extraordinary spectacle, and as you pass by the towns of Seiano, Meta, Piano of Sorrento and Saint Agnello, you can admire on the right, the sea that gently wets the coast, the beaches and the small fisherman piers; and on the left, the white rocks that - between Seiano and Meta - capture and reflect the rays of the sun transforming them into enchanting shades.
For people travelling by public transportation, there are various possibilities. If you arrive in Naples with the trains of the State railway (FS), the Central Station of Garibaldi Square is connected by underground passageways to the lines of the Circumvesuviana, which link directly Naples and Sorrento.
The trains depart every 30 minutes, and in a little more than an hour, you arrive in Sorrento. The updated timetables can be consulted on the site www.vesuviana.it.
People who arrive in Naples by plane have the possibility of using the daily bus connections, effected by the Curreri bus service. Every day, in fact, six trips are foreseen which connect Sorrento (Tasso Square) with the Capodichino Airport (Naples).
For people who want to reach Sorrento from Rome - avoiding the use of the trains - there is the possibility to take advantage of a bus which effects two daily trips and that in four hours, link directly, Rome (departure from Tiburtina station) and Sorrento (Tasso Square).
Sorrento can be easily reached also by sea, thanks to the hydrofoils that connect the Beverello Pier (Naples, opposite the Maschio Angioino) with the Harbour of Marina Piccola (small seashore) in Sorrento.
Upon arrival at the Sorrento Harbour you will find the yellow buses of the Circumvesuviana which connect the Harbour to Tasso Square in the centre of Sorrento; or if you prefer, you can have a relaxing walk that in 10 minutes, along a suggestive road with antique Roman paving and a long flight of stairs, leads you to Tasso Square.

HOW TO GET TO SORRENTO BY PLANE:
The nearest airport to Sorrento, only 50 km far,
is Capodichino
www.gesac.it The airport is
linked to the main Italian and European towns by
different airlines that, often, propose
interesting offers depending on the season of
the year. From the airport there are different
ways to get to Sorrento. The most comfortable
and the cheapest as well, if available at your
arrival time, is bus service by Curreri. The bus
is just outside the arrival gate and for less
than 5 euro takes you straight to Piazza Tasso,
the main square of Sorrento and in good traffic
condition it takes about one hour. Different
solutions may be taxi or transfer services that
the most agencies in Sorrento offer for a price
between 70 and 100 Euro. From the airport there
are also buses, taxi and shuttles to the
Circumvesuviana rail station from where you can
catch the local trains to Sorrento every half
hour or to Beverello port from where you catch
the hydrofoils and ferries to Sorrento. We
suggest you to use these last transports only if
you don't find any better solution as they are
little comfortable and tiring.

HOW TO GET THERE BY TRAIN:
the train station Napoli Centrale Piazza
Garibaldi of the State Rail
www.trenitalia.com is linked to Sorrento by the
Circumvesuviana local trains. As soon as you get to Napoli
Centrale take the stairs to the underground and
you'll get to the Circumvesuviana station.
The price of the ticket is about 2.60 Euro and
you can buy it at the ticket strand or at some
newsagent in the station.
The journey from Naples takes about one hour and
depending on the time, can be more or less
comfortable.The trains are infact often crowded
but unluckly they represent the fastest and
cheapest way to reach Sorrento.
|
HOW TO GET THERE BY CAR:
Any direction you are coming from take the
highway to Naples. Follow the A3 to the
Sorrentine Peninsula and take the Castellamare
di Stabia exit. From Castellamare drive along
the main road for about 23 km. You pass through
the villages of Vico Equense, Sant'agnello as
far as Sorrento, the last village you find.
The state road in the most touristic period,
from June to September, can be stucked with
traffic and sometimes it takes more than one
hour to drive the 23 km from Castellamare to
Sorrento.
|
HOW TO GET THERE BY SEA:
If you are in the town centre of Naples it can
be very comfortable to reach Sorrento by sea.
There are different hydrofoils and ferries
linking Naples to Sorrento. Depending on the
transport it takes about 40 minutes to get to
Sorrento. The journey is more comfortable than
the train one even if more expensive (about the
double). The hydrofoils and the ferries get to
the port of Sorrento that is about 500 mt far
from the town centre. We suggest you to get to
the centre by the shuttle buses you find in the
little square.
