To reach the Amalfi Coast and the archaeological areas of Pompeii and Herculaneum, the tourists visiting Naples are advised to go to the Garibaldi station, then downstairs (under the high-speed trains platform) and take the Circumvesuviana, the regional network of lines that connect the entire coast, from Naples Nolana to Sorrento.

When it’s summer, the station gets crowded with people and the ticket offices are full of endless queues of foreigners waiting to see the seaside and locals fleeing from the heat of the city centre. On the platform, lots of people mumble, chit chat and complain, and you might have to wait many minutes before the train shows up.
