Trains from Venice to Sorrento

Here's some info for the Campania Express:

You can buy tickets online or at the Naples Garibaldi station (connected to Napoli Centrale).

The issue is that it only makes 4 runs a day so you can have long waits in Naples unless your arrival time from Venice aligns.

There is only one Sorrento train station, and it's only served by Circumvesuviana/Campania Express trains.

Tickets for the standard Circumvesuviana trains cannot be purchased in advance. These trains also run from Garibaldi station, are bare-bones commuter versions, and run much more frequently. Schedule here:

Any way you shake it, it's going to pretty much eat the lion's share of a day for this journey.

You can buy the Campania Express tickets in advance but not the Circumvesuviana tickets. The Camapania tickets guarantees you will get on the train first and get a seat. After that, everybody else piles on. The ride is a bit shorter, but not much. The train is supposedly cleaner and air conditioned, but quite honestly we've taken both and aside from getting on first we sometimes had no idea which train we were on. I find the Circumvesuviana underrated and the Campania overrated for the added cost.

Thanks everyone - all set
