Southern Italy's largest city, Naples is an important transportation center, connecting many important cities through Napoli Centrale at the Piazza Garibaldi.
Choose to depart from either the Stazione Termini or the Tiburtina Station. Both travel from Rome to Naples and throughout most major cities in Italy and Europe, though the Stazione Termini provides travelers with more travel options.
Book a ticket online at the Trenitalia website and pick up your ticket on board in Rome.
Avoid long lines by purchasing a ticket to Naples at a ticket machine in the Stazione Termini.
Purchase a ticket from a ticket window at the Stazione Termini or in the lobby of the station at the news stands or tobacco stores.
Visit the Trenitalia website. Click on 'English' in the upper right corner of the home page if you don't read Italian. Enter Rome as your departure point and Naples as your destination. You will be given a list of trains in order of their departure. You can also choose to view trains by time traveling or by stops along the way.
Decide what kind of sights you want to see; trains will travel along an inland route or along the coast. Book a ticket to travel inland and see the beautiful Italian countryside via Cassino. See coastal views by taking the train that travels through Formia.
Hop aboard a Eurostar or InterCity/InterCity Plus train to reach Naples in less than two hours. Book the Espresso or Diretto train if you have some time along the way; travel can exceed 2 hours.
Know that there are actually two train stations at Napoli Centrale. You will arrive on the top level which runs trains nationally; the lower level is for Circumvesuviana, a private train line.
Utilize the Information Desk at Napoli Centrale to obtain travel information such as the best time to visit the National Archaeological Museum (Museo Archeologico Nazionale), which nearby wineries provide tasting rooms, and where to go to get the best slice of Italian pizza.
Rent a car, catch a bus, hail a taxi or walk to your accommodations from the Naples train station. If you drive, prepare yourself for traffic; Naples is heavily congested.
