The Campania Express  train is a special Circumvesuviana train for tourists that connects Naples and Sorrento. It stops only in stations near tourist sites such as Pompeii and Ercolano, as well as the main towns of the Sorrento Peninsula (S. Agnello, Meta di Sorrento, and others).

🛎️ How to get to the stations 

The Napoli Garibaldi Circumvesuviana station is located on the lower floor of the Napoli Centrale station. This station, while not accessible to travelers with disabilities, is the most convenient for those arriving in Naples by train from other places in Italy.

Pompeii's Villa dei Misteri is located a short distance from the entrance to the archaeological site in Piazza Esedra/Viale delle Ginestre.

The Sorrento station is located in the center, a few minutes' walk from Piazza Torquato Tasso.

🛎️  Accessibility

The only fully accessible stations of the Campania Express are Napoli Porta Nolana and Sorrento.

The stations of Castellammare and Pompei Villa dei Misteri are accessible only in the direction of Sorrento.

The Circumvesuviana station in Napoli Piazza Garibaldi is not accessible to people with disabilities; to reach the platform you have to walk up flights of stairs. Travelers with reduced mobility who are departing from or arriving in Naples will therefore have to use the Napoli Porta Nolana station.
