Campania is a region of Southern Italy, famous for the spectacular Amalfi Coast. Mount Vesuvius, an active volcano, towers over the area and has been the source of death, destruction but also preservation and fertile soil for crops and livestock for thousands of years. Pompeii, with its very extensive ruins preserved by ash from an eruption two millennia ago, is probably the most famous location in Campania, with the vibrant, beautiful though sometimes gritty city of Naples a close second, followed by the Isle of Capri, but there are many other places on land and sea to see and discover.
There are good train and road networks that connect Campania to all other regions of Italy.
Read in the guideBy train
National train lines go from Naples to Salerno and further east and southwards. The Circumvesuviana is a local private train link serving the area around the Mount Vesuvius from Naples to Sorrento.
By boat
By bus
Buses run generally pretty efficiently, but can become full and a bit uncomfortable. Tickets are part of the Unico Campania system, which must be bought in advance.
By car
The Amalfi-Sorrento-Salerno road is narrow and full of hairpin turns. Cars pass fast and close. Take care.
Choose an airport to see hotels, stations, taxi ranks and car rental desks around it.
