Milan to Naples by trainMilan to Naples by Train: Travel Across Italy
By Claire Martin
There are a few options to travel from Milan to Naples by train. It’s a journey taking you from north to south Italy, and high-speed trains complete it in as little as four and a half hours. I have taken both the day and night train on this route, with the overnight service taking ten hours. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

A view of the exterior of Milan station
Route overview
This journey from Milan to Naples by train is around 479 miles (771 km), and on high-speed trains, speeds reach over 185 mph (300 km/h). Trains depart from Milano Centrale, although many also call at Milano Rogoredo. Likewise, the main arrival station is Napoli Centrale, but trains also stop at Napoli Afragola.
The quickest trains take just 4 hours and 30 minutes, with one stop in Roma Termini, but others stop at Bologna, Florence, and several other stations along the way. The night train, run by Intercity Notte, stops many times en route at intermediate cities.
Transportation experience
When I took the train from Milan to Naples, I booked my ticket around five weeks in advance using the Omio app. I was then able to use my e-ticket directly on my phone. I also used Omio to book the night train and could select my cabin during the process.
Departure station
Milano Centrale is around 1.75 miles (2.8 km) from the city center. I was staying at a hotel next to the station, so I walked over, although it is served well by the metro. As I needed to stock up for my journey, I purchased some pizza and drinks at a deli before boarding. There is a huge range of dining options at Milano Centrale, as it’s one of the largest train stations in Italy.
Arrival station
Napoli Centrale is a 20-minute walk from the Centro Storico (the historic center of Naples). You can also reach it by taking the metro from Duomo to Piazza Garibaldi, or taxis take around 10 minutes. It’s a big station with plenty of shops, although I recommend purchasing food and drink elsewhere, as it’s quite expensive. I bought two bottles of water at a snack shop, and it cost me €4.
Schedule & frequency
Although it’s a huge distance, there are still around 35 trains per day between these two cities. The first departs Milan just after five in the morning, arriving in Naples well before lunch. The latest is the Intercity Notte service, which departs at 8:10 pm. I took a train at 10:10 am, which arrived in Naples at around 3:00 pm.
Onboard experience & services
The train had started in Turin, but it wasn’t too busy when I boarded. There were large luggage racks at the end of the carriage, where I could store my small suitcase. Generally, it’s permitted to take as much luggage as you can carry and store yourself.
The restrooms were kept clean, and my seat was comfortable. There was Wi-Fi, but it didn’t work very well, although the tables were large enough for me to do some offline work. There was no restaurant car, but the trains did have some vending machines for snacks.
Ticketing advice & budget breakdown
My Milan to Naples train ticket cost €62, as I was traveling at a peak time. I found Italo to be cheaper than other providers in my research. Booking on Omio made the comparison process very easy.
| Item | Cost (eur) |
|---|---|
| Ticket price | €62 |
| Food & drinks | €18 |
| Travel to departure station | €0 |
| Travel from arrival station | €1.3 |
| Total | € 81.3 |
Top tips & recommendations
- Book in advance, especially if you’re visiting around the holidays, as this trip can be very busy.
- Arrive at Milan station 15-20 minutes early, as it’s a big station with many platforms. Be sure to bring lunch if you need it, since there’s no restaurant car on board. Consider taking the night train if you’d like to save on a night's accommodation.
Conclusion
The Milan to Naples train journey is one of Italy’s finest. At high speeds, it takes you from Italy’s northern capital to one of its major southern cities. From Naples, you can access the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, or even take a ferry to Sicily. For the most hassle-free experience, book your tickets early on Omio.
