How to get from Florence to Pompeii by train
Take the train from Florence to Pompeii, and you’ll be right into the city centre without having to worry about traffic nor parking. The average journey time by train between Florence and Pompeii is 4 hours and 57 minutes, with around 25 trains per day. The journey time may be longer on weekends and holidays, so use our Journey Planner at the top of this page to search for a specific travel date.
As there’s no direct train to Pompeii from Florence, you’ll need to stop in Naples and change. From Firenze Santa Maria Novella station take a direct Frecciarossa or Italo train and get off at Napoli Centrale, then follow the signs to get to Napoli Garibaldi station downstairs. Insider tip: make sure you board a regional train operated by Trenitalia rather than the slow commuter Circumvesuviana if you want to enjoy a newer and less crowded service.
Getting off at Pompeii train station, you’ll find yourself in the town centre, which you can start exploring before heading to the ruins. Stroll down Via Lepanto and Via Roma and grab a souvenir at one of the many boutiques and craft shops. Don’t forget that Pompeii is only a few steps away from the sea, so why not go on a boat tour and enjoy the city from a different perspective?
