"Our driver was changed to Ferdinando and we couldn’t have been any more pleased with our trip. He did an amazing job, driving was perfect, which is good for a typically nervous passenger!

Questions & Answers about Traveling from Rome to Positano

There is no direct fast train, so you must take a train from Rome to Naples, then transfer to another train from Naples to Sorrento. There are high-speed trains available for both legs. Tickets can cost upwards of 50 euros with the Frecciarossa train line, but these trains are more comfortable and have perks like free Wi-Fi, onboard entertainment, a bar, and a restaurant. Once you arrive in Sorrento's train station, take a bus, ferry, or taxi to Positano.

The best way to travel from Positano to Rome is by Daytrip's private car service. Unlike public transportation, Daytrip offers convenient and safe door-to-door transportation, a private driver, luggage handling, and cost-effective seat pricing.

For most people, a day trip from Rome to Positano is worth it, considering you can see and do a lot during a day trip in this Italian coastal town. If you leave Rome early in the morning, that leaves you a full day to take a ferry ride, dine in a few cafes, do some shopping, swim in the ocean, visit some of the local churches, and enjoy the nightlife all in the span of a day. Just be sure to book a private driver so that you can get to Positano quickly and have enough time to explore!

No, there is no train station in Positano. However, if you take the train to the Sorrento or Salerno train stations, the ferry takes you along the entire Amalfi Coast to Positano. Another option is the local Sita bus. For either of these options, the connections at night may be infrequent.

No. Although prices are excellent, trying to navigate the SITA bus system should not be your first option. You must first find shops selling tickets, usually located near the bus station, then wait in line at the station for the next bus. If it fills up before the end of the line reaches you, you must wait for the proceeding bus. There is no way to book a specific seat for a specific time.

The entire Amalfi Coast has narrow, winding roads and limited parking, so opt for a local private driver for maximum comfort. This way, you can enjoy the breathtaking views and won't have to worry about finding parking located near your accommodation.

The cheapest way is to take the train from Rome to Naples, then change trains for Sorrento, then take a bus to Positano. However, the cheapest way is often the longest and least comfortable.

Other popular Italian destinations include Naples and the island of Sicily. Whatever your next destination, Daytrip can help!

Public or private transportation are viable options for this route. You can use public transportation and make multiple transfers across buses and trains. However, if you have luggage, small children, or are short on time, we recommend hiring Daytrip to streamline the process.

With Daytrip, you'll have the opportunity to add sightseeing stops along the way to places like Tivoli, the Abbey of Monte Cassino, and the Royal Palace of Caserta.

Rome and Positano are 172 miles (278 km) apart.

The quickest way to make your transfer is by car. Renting and driving a car can be overwhelming to foreigners, plus you want to relax on your vacation, so hire a driver for the fastest transfer.

This drive takes approximately 3 hours and 40 minutes but may change due to traffic and road conditions. This time does not include the optional sightseeing stops, which vary in duration.
