Early Morning to Mid-Day

Explore the Vatican City's Many Wonders

Rome is unique in the world in that it contains an independent country within its city limits - the Vatican City, from where the Pope administers the Catholic Church. The symbolic center of Catholicism is St Peter's Basilica, the second-largest Catholic church in the world and among the most beautiful. The Vatican Museum contains one of the greatest collections of art in existence, including Michelangelo's jaw-dropping Sistine Chapel. The popes had a bigger influence on Rome than just the collection of art. The Pope's title is actually Bishop of Rome, and popes administed the city for centuries, shaping its architecture & public spaces. Rome was re-built to be an example of urban beauty, and the Vatican was meant to be the showcase within the showcase. Their success is evident from the throngs of visitors who flock here even today.

Transfer to Station by Taxi or Public Transport

Most trains depart from Roma Termini station, the largest station in the city. Before spending money on a transfer, be sure to check whether your hotel is within easy walking distance. You can also reach the station by public bus, but admittedly this can be an unpleasant and difficult experience if traveling with bags. If staying at a hotel, they can order a reliable taxi. Some private transfers will even help with your bags. Uber is also available for those with the app.

Early Morning to Mid-Day

Excursion to the Island of Ischia

The largest island in the Bay of Naples, Ischia is more interesting geographically than Capri, which makes it great for gentle hikes, especially to its summit of Mt Epomeo, and its volcanic soils make for the cultivation of fine wines. It also has some lovely sun-bathing spots and an exquisitely picturesque coastal fortress.

9:00 AM - 2:00 AM

Guided Excursion to Pompeii by Train

Enjoy a tour of the vast archaeological site of Pompeii and learn the sad yet riveting stories of the town's inhabitants with your own private guide. You will meet your guide at Naples central train station and then travel together to Pompeii on the local Circumvesuviana rail network. The Pompeii train station is directly outside the ancient town. Alternatively, you can receive instructions for a self-guided tour if you prefer.

10:25 AM

Transfer to Station by Taxi or Public Transport

Most trains depart from Naples Central Station (Napoli Centrale) station, the largest station in the city. Before spending money on a transfer, be sure to check whether your hotel is within easy walking distance, keeping in mind though that the pedestrian environment around the station is not the best. Also, consider that public transport is the cheapest and sometimes fastest option - there is a metro station co-located with the rail station. If staying at a hotel, they can order a reliable taxi. Some private transfers will even help with your bags.

Early Morning to Mid-Day

Excursion to the Fabled Isle of Capri

There is no question that Capri is one of the most impressive spots in Italy. Surrounded by crystal clear waters, shimmering grottos and dramatic cliff-faces, it’s what dreams are made of. Made famous as the vacation hideaway of Roman emperors Augustus and Tiberius, the beautiful island of Capri is a fantastic day trip option from Sorrento by ferry. Spend your day exploring its two towns, Capri & Anacapri, take a boat trip to Capri's famous Blue Grotto or take a thrilling ride on the chairlift to Monte Solaro for beautiful views over Capri and the Bay of Naples.

Early Morning to Mid-Day

Exploring the Amalfi Coast

The wildly scenic Amalfi Coast that runs from Sorrento to Salerno is infamous for its coastal road which is known as one of the best white-knuckle scenic rides in Europe. Given the hairy driving, impossible parking and traffic, and overcrowded public buses, the Amalfi Coast is best explored by private boat or public ferry, where you can enjoy the scenic beauty of the coastline and hop from town to town in comfort and without any delays. Unfortunately, the boats do not run all year, so depending on when you travel, your best bet for exploring the area may be with a guided tour by vehicle. The guide's local knowledge can help you avoid some of the traffic and cover the most beautiful spots. Of course a private tour at your own pace, by boat or car, is the ideal option.

9:30 AM

Transfer to Station by Taxi or Walking

Uber is not available in Sorrento, but if staying in a hotel, they will be happy to arrange a taxi pick up for you and can give you an estimate of the price so you can avoid overpaying. Before spending money on a transfer, be sure to first check whether your hotel is within an easy walking distance to the train station, which is located just a few hundred yards / meters up from Piazza Tasso in the New Town. Keep in mind that if you are staying in the town of Sorrento itself, then the train station is likely to be less than a 15 minute walk away. Of course it can still sometimes be a bit of a slog when carrying bags, especially if you have to go up any stairs or steep slopes.
