Pompeii Express: High-Speed Train from Rome

Day TripsArts & HistoryPopular
All aboard the Pompeii Express! Skip the planning and logistical stress with this value-packed, fast and comfortable solution for exploring Pompeii from Rome. We provide seamless transport and skip-the-line tickets for you to explore the archeological park at your own pace!

Meet our group leader at Termini Station in Rome and board the ultra-modern high-speed train to Naples. The lost city of Pompeii awaits after a one-hour ride and a quick transfer by coach. With your skip-the-line ticket in hand, enter the ruins and explore at your own pace.

Step back in time as you wander the ancient cobblestone streets where bakeries, shops, and even hidden brothels stand as ghostly reminders of a past civilisation. Take in the tragic yet awe-inspiring plaster casts of the immortalized silent witnesses to the fury of Mt. Vesuvius during their devastating last moments alive. Feel the mystery deepen as you explore the perfectly preserved ruins of a city trapped in time.

After exploring Pompeii, take some time for a leisurely lunch or explore the local shops, then return to the pre-set meeting point. Hop on our private air-conditioned coach for the short ride back to Naples before a smooth high-speed train journey back to Rome. You’ll return not just with memories, but with a sense of wonder, having experienced a fascinating world that was lost and rediscovered.
