One-Day Tour Guide from Pompeii to Positano

Want to experience the historical shock of ancient Rome and the bright sunshine of the Amalfi Coast in one day? This route connecting Pompeii Ancient City and Positano Town is just perfect.

Transportation Options

* Recommended route: It is suggested to visit Pompeii Ancient City (Pompeii Scavi station) in the morning, then take the train from Pompeii to Sorrento via the Circumvesuviana line for about 20 minutes around noon. After that, transfer to the SITA bus in Sorrento to Positano, which takes about 1 hour.
* Alternative option (seasonal): In summer and early autumn, consider taking a boat from Sorrento to Positano, which takes about 20 minutes and offers a chance to enjoy the coastline from the sea, but the schedule may not be very frequent.

Itinerary

* Morning (Pompeii Ancient City): Enter the Pompeii ruins early to avoid crowds and the afternoon heat. Focus on visiting the Forum, temples, theater ruins, and experience history through plaster casts. Allow at least 3-4 hours.
* Noon (Transfer and lunch): Take the train from Pompeii to Sorrento. Sorrento is an ideal place to taste Limoncello and buy lemon products.
* Afternoon (Positano): After arriving in Positano, stroll among the stacked colorful houses and explore the town’s unique handicraft shops. Don’t forget to walk to Spiaggia Grande beach and look back at the cliffside town for a stunning view.

Practical Tips

* Buy tickets in advance: It is recommended to purchase Pompeii Ancient City tickets online in advance to save queuing time.
* Comfortable attire: Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and clothing, as the Pompeii ruins have uneven ground and Positano has many stairs.
* Sun protection and hydration: The southern Italian sun is strong in summer, so pay attention to sun protection and hydration.
* Allow extra time: The SITA bus travels along the Amalfi Coast on winding mountain roads, and there may be traffic jams during peak season, so allow plenty of time for transportation.
