How do I get from Rome Italy airport to positano italy by train or bus? How and where do I book it?

Question

Im going to Italy soon. Was wondering if anyone had some good info on getting to either sorrento italy or positano italy by train or bus?

Answer 1

There are regional trains from Rome's Fiumicino Airport (FCO) to roma Termini.  They take about 30 minutes.  IF you arrive at Ciampino airport they also have trains and buses to Rome's train stations.

Then from Termini station you can take a train to Napoli or Salerno and catch buses to Positano.  I once took a boat from Positano back to Napoli and that was quite pleasant, nicer than the bus but a little more expensive.  

From Napoli Centrale station, you can take the Circumvesuviano trains to Sorrento, then SITA buses just outside the station go around the Amalfi coast.to Salerno, where you can also catch buses back around the Amalfi coast to Sorrento. Positano is right on the way.  

I wouldn't bother to book the tickets in advance.  Just go to the window when you get to Termini station and get a ticket to Napoli Centrale or Salerno.  You may also be able to buy a ticket in the automat machines in the station.
