I made a huge mistake and thought that the 1020am express train was a part of the tap on/tap off system but I was supremely wrong. Luckily there was a 1038 train with a transfer to make it to our destination. The ticket office is a great help, even if the line may be long, because the person working was very helpful in explaining the tickets to me. There were also people outside of that train who could help guide you in the correct direction. There is a café that we ate at in the morning before heading to Rome. It was shockingly good for a place that heats things with a microwave and not very expensive. There is a nice seating area that you can rest and/or eat in with a platform board. It's a small station but there are 4 platforms so you still have to pay attention to which train you are getting on. Also, it may not seem like it, but there is an elevator if you need to use it.

Approaching from the front, there's a roundabout (Piazza Giovanni Battista de Curtis) in front for pickup and drop off. You go up a flight of stairs or escalator to the second floor where tickets can be purchased at machines or a couple manned ticket windows on the left. Then turnstiles to the tracks are straight toward the back of the station. The front facade and second floor balcony is semi-open to the elements aside from the open-eaved awning. There are 4 tracks, and access to three of them is via a tunnel below the first track, then stairs. I can't recall whether an elevator is available, you might need special assistance or a different entry for special accessibility needs. This is the terminal station for the Circumvesuviana local commuter train to/from Naples. It's no luxury ride though functional and affordable at €4.80 to Naples, a 1 hour 15 minute trip. Aside from its rectangular, blocky countenance with a partially open front, the station didn't leave too strong of an impression. The one ticket window staff member interaction I had was brief and neutral. Station cleanliness was mid to decent.

The port in Naples is one of the easiest ports for embarkation and disembarkation. The views of Naples and Mount Vesuvius are stunning. So lucky to have a beautiful sunny day to enjoy the scenery. As far as the disembarkation, literally grab your sea pass, get scanned and then walk off the boat. We used shoreexcursions.com to book a tour from Naples to Sorrento, the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii with Connie, Guiseppe and Francesco from World Tours. So easy to meet them on the dock. It was a wonderful day. Back at the port, we just walked through security and we were back on the boat. So easy!

So I added this as "Amalfi Ferry Terminal" same as Gmaps for ease of searching in case anyone was…read morelooking, though really this a cement pier, not a formal terminal building. The ferries to/from the east (Salerno) and west (Sorrento/Positano) stop here. Tickets can be procured online or at little stands in a covered area at the start of the pier, and schedules are posted as well. Each operator has its own stand, with public and private charter or tour options available. While there are signs for different destinations listed at the end of the pier, in practice everyone is herded into the same line. Crew will announce destinations closer to the time of departure, note: - there's no shade, so take sun or rain protection into account on days with high heat or inclement weather. - keep an open ear to the destinations being called out, because the ferries don't always run on schedule, with minimal explanation on status and wait time. Expect some confusion. Other than these logistical considerations, this dock is only a few minutes walking from the pedestrian pathway that winds up the center of Amalfi, an easy location to kick off exploring the town.

Napoli Centrale is one of the main transportation hubs in Naples, the other being the port area…read morefrom which many ferries operate to other cities and islands along the Italian coastline. 25 train platforms are situated in the main level, with another 4 downstairs for local EAV Circumvesuviana trains to Sorrento, Pompeii and other towns. Customers can also transfer downstairs to the metro (subway) line L2. Train tickets can be bought at the station or in advance online, I'd suggest booking earlier as ticket prices for regional legs to other major cities can increase closer to departure. Exterior and interior are modern, with triangular/diagonal/geometric design elements. Within the station several large overhead displays show arrival origins and departure destinations, scheduled/actual times, platforms, and special notes like notifications to board or delays. Travelers wait in the main lobby until platform numbers are published about 15-20 minutes prior to departure for regional trains, then head thru a preliminary ticket check (security checking that each passenger is ticketed), into the train platforms in the inner part of the station. Individual train info is also posted at each platform. Note for Circumvesuviana trains, they don't publish all intermediate stops on the displays so double check your departure time and destination are actually valid for your train route time. I inadvertently tried to get on the wrong train (following directions from Gmaps), only to be directed by a helpful train staff member to the next train on opposite platform arriving 20 minutes later. Inside the main train hall aside from ticket offices and machines, a tourist info center and currency exchange, there are probably two dozen shops and restaurants, not including a separate food hall with a dozen local and chain restaurants, bars and bakeries. From McDonald's and Starbucks to Toasthouse, Sushi Daily, Fresca Pizzeria Trattoria, Cuori di Sfolgliatella and Scaturchio Pasticceria. Within the rest of the station there's a grocery store, bookstore, souvenir, jewelry and trinket stores, cafes, fast food spots, bathrooms. Luggage storage available in station or in the blocks surrounding, which I'd recommend booking in advance. Overall the station was clean, functional and safe. I've no qualms about transiting thru here again!

Our archeologist tour guide Lello educated us with everything we needed to know, so when the tour was done, my partner and I could navigate around the ruins with ease and soak in the must see spots we couldn't get to in the tour, with the knowledge Lello gifted us, that really helped with appreciating what we were looking at and where we we standing.
