Campania Express

About
Campania Express is a tourist train service in Italy, operating on the Circumvesuviana line between Naples and Sorrento. It offers a more comfortable and convenient travel experience compared to regular commuter trains, with guaranteed seating, air conditioning, and luggage space. The service makes fewer stops, primarily at key archaeological sites like Pompeii and Herculaneum, and towns on the Sorrento Peninsula, making travel times shorter. Campania Express tickets can be purchased online or at select station ticket offices, and the service often runs from mid-March to mid-October, though it can also be active year-round with daily trips. It also offers a hop-on/hop-off option, allowing passengers to visit intermediate stops and continue their journey on a later Campania Express train with the same ticket.
