Questions about this trip
Is 5 days enough for Naples and the Amalfi Coast?
It covers the highlights: Naples, Pompeii, Vesuvius, one day on the coast and one on Capri. Add a day if you want a slower pace or a beach day.
Should I stay in Naples or Sorrento?
Both. Naples is best for the city and ruins, and Sorrento is the easiest base for ferries to Capri and buses to the Amalfi Coast.
Do I need to book Pompeii and Vesuvius in advance?
Yes. Pompeii uses named, timed tickets and Vesuvius crater tickets are sold online only, so book both before you go.
How do I get from Sorrento to Positano and Amalfi?
SITA buses run along the coast road all year, and ferries run in the warmer months. Ferries avoid the traffic in summer.
Which days of the week should I avoid?
Don't put Day 2 on a Tuesday or Wednesday: the archaeological museum closes on Tuesdays and Herculaneum on Wednesdays.
