Transferência de carro particular de Positano para Pompeii

This part of Italy is one of the birthplaces of civilization, so while Pompeii is the most famous, it's far from the only attraction. The 25-mile (39 km) drive can easily be broken up with a hike at Mt. Vesuvius, a meal and tour at the Cantina del Vesuvio winery, or a visit to other archaeological sites like Herculaneum or Stabia.

A trip from Positano to Pompeii is the chance to see a unique snapshot of Roman life during this specific period. The ruins provide a captivating and educational experience for visitors interested in history, archaeology, and ancient cultures.

But did you know there are two Pompeiis? Pompeii, with "ii", refers to the ancient archeological site, but Pompei, with a single "i", is the modern town not too far from the original site. Modern Pompei is also often referred to as Pompei Scavi. It is located near the ancient archaeological site of Pompeii. While the ancient ruins attract millions of visitors each year, the modern town of Pompei is also worth a visit, even if it's just for lunch.

Wear comfortable shoes

Your thin flip-flops won’t stand a chance on Italy’s rocky paths, endless staircases, and hilly landscapes. You'll be doing a lot of walking in Pompeii, so wear sturdy, comfortable shoes (that you’ve already broken in!) for your walk around the archeological site.

Be mindful of pickpockets

Italy is generally safe, but pickpocketing is common in crowded areas. Stay vigilant in tourist areas and public transportation. Keep your belongings secure and avoid carrying large amounts of cash or valuable items. Fortunately, when you travel with Daytrip, you can leave your belongings safe and secure in the car with your driver.

Positano to Pompeii with a private driver

A private driver is the fastest and easiest way to get from Positano to Pompeii. Your Daytrip driver will pick you up from your accommodation in Positano (if it's car accessible) and take you to the Pompeii entrance. Or, if you plan to stay overnight in modern Pompei, they can drop you at your accommodation there.

The Pompeii area has so much to see in such a short distance that you should take advantage of the freedom to visit nearby sights. Add the Scavi di Stabia Archeological Site, Herculaneum Archaeological Area, the Bosco de' Medici Winery, or lunch at Cantina del Vesuvio to round out your day.

Positano to Pompeii with a shuttle bus

Daytrip also offers shuttle bus options to and from Pompeii. Just choose your departure date and time and meet your driver at the designated pick-up point. And for the ride back, just book another ride for when you plan to leave Pompeii. This combines the cost-savings of shared transportation with the time-savings and convenience of a private vehicle.

Positano to Pompeii by public bus

SITA has routes between Positano and Pompeii. The ride takes about 2 hours and tickets cost between 7-22 EUR each way. Buses leave at least once per hour—just make sure you don’t miss the last one back to Positano!

Pompei Cathedral (Cattedrale di Pompei)

This Baroque-style cathedral is located a short distance from the ruins in the town center. It is known for its intricate religious artwork and is home to the Sanctuary of the Madonna of the Rosary.

Mount Vesuvius and the Herculaneum Archaeological Area

You'll need to arrange separate transportation (or add it as a sightseeing stop when you ride with Daytrip), but the story of Pompeii isn’t complete without a trip to Mt. Vesuvius. Mt. Vesuvius National Park has 11 trails of varying difficulty where you can get an up-close view of rare flora and fauna that live around the volcano. Mt. Vesuvius is the only active volcano in mainland Europe, and last erupted in 1944.

Pompeii’s sister site, the Herculaneum Archaeological Area, is another well-preserved snapshot into Roman life 2,000 years ago. It was destroyed by the same Mt. Vesuvius eruption that took Pompeii. These sites are not far from each other, and with Daytrip, you can easily add these stops to your itinerary!
