Travellers heading to southern Italy now have an additional way to explore Pompeii, Herculaneum and Sorrento by train thanks to the addition of Campania Express to Rail Europe's portfolio. For many travellers, Italy begins with Rome, Florence or Venice. Campania Express offers another reason to say "Ciao Campania", inviting visitors to discover a different side of the country — from the ancient streets of Pompeii and Herculaneum to the sea views, lemon groves and laid-back atmosphere of Sorrento.
Operating between Naples and Sorrento, the route threads its way through some of southern Italy's best-known landscapes, linking archaeological treasures, seaside towns and views of Mount Vesuvius along the way. To complement the existing rail services already available across the region, Campania Express provides a tourist-focused alternative designed specifically for visitors exploring Campania's most popular attractions.
Nearly 2,000 years after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius froze Pompeii in time, visitors can travel between Naples and the world-famous archaeological site in around 40 minutes. The route also serves Herculaneum, another remarkably preserved Roman city and one of the closest gateways to Mount Vesuvius. Further south, the train continues towards the Sorrentine Peninsula, where colourful coastal towns, sweeping sea views and the region's famous lemon groves have long attracted travellers from around the world.
Along the journey, passengers can watch the landscapes of the Bay of Naples unfold from their seats, travelling between archaeological sites, seaside resorts and local villages without needing to navigate roads, parking or busy summer traffic.
