Nápoly központjából Positanóba vonattal, majd busszal | Hostel Brikette

Áttekintés: vonat, majd busz

Ez az útvonal a leggyorsabb tömegközlekedési kombinációt írja le Nápoly belvárosából: a Circumvesuviana vonatot Szorrentóig, majd a SITA buszt Positanóig. A nápolyi repülőtérről induló utazást nem tartalmazza.

Nápolyi vasútállomás

A Circumvesuviana Szorrentó felé induló járatai a Napoli Garibaldi állomás alsó szintjéről (a Napoli Centrale alatt) indulnak. Vásárold meg a jegyed, mielőtt leereszkedsz a peronokhoz, ellenőrizd, melyik vágányról indul a járatod, majd szállj fel a Szorrentó felé tartó vonatra.

Szorrento vasútállomás

Szorrentóba érkezés után hagyd el az állomást, és vásárold meg SITA-buszjegyedet a közeli bárban, újságosnál vagy trafikban — a buszon nem árulnak jegyet. A SITA megálló közvetlenül az állomás előtti lépcső alján található; várd meg az Amalfi felé tartó buszt, és utazz vele Positanóba.

A SITA-menetrend értelmezése

A SITA busz menetrendje megtévesztő lehet — az alábbi gyors tippek segítenek megtalálni a megfelelő járatot:

Positanói buszmegálló

A legközelebbi megálló a Positano (Chiesa Nuova), nagyjából 140 méterre (490 lábra) a hosteltől.

A Bar Internazionale kávézó/bár előtt található.

A busz az útszinten tesz le — nem kell hosszú lépcsőkön felmenni hozzánk.

Luggage and comfort tips

Both the Circumvesuviana train and SITA bus have limited luggage space, especially during peak season. If you're traveling with a large backpack or suitcase, board early to secure a spot near the luggage racks. On the train, luggage racks are near the doors at each end of the carriage. On the bus, there's a small luggage area at the back, but it fills quickly. Large suitcases may need to be placed in the aisle during busy periods. Keep valuables with you — petty theft can occur on crowded trains, particularly during peak tourist season. The Circumvesuviana has basic facilities (no toilets, no air conditioning on older trains). Bring water, especially in summer. The SITA bus has no toilet either, so use facilities at Sorrento station before boarding. There's a small cafe at the station with restrooms. If you have heavy bags and want to avoid the hassle, consider using our porter services for luggage transfer from the ferry dock, or check our travel help page for private transfer options.

Alternative routes and backup plans

If trains or buses are delayed, canceled, or too crowded, you have several backup options: (1) The direct Curreri bus runs from Naples city center to Positano (€10-15, 90 minutes) but schedules are limited. (2) You can take a ferry from Naples port to Positano (April-October only, €20-25, 90 minutes) — see our ferry arrivals guide. (3) Private transfers cost €100-140 but provide door-to-door service with no waiting. (4) If you miss the last bus from Sorrento (usually around 8-9pm depending on season), you can take a taxi to Positano (€80-100, 30 minutes). Always check the last bus time before leaving Naples. On Sundays and holidays, services are reduced — plan extra time and check timetables in advance.

Sample journey timings

Here's a realistic timeline for the complete journey from Naples center to Hostel Brikette: Morning departure (recommended): - 09:00 - Arrive at Napoli Garibaldi, buy ticket (15 min) - 09:15 - Board Circumvesuviana train to Sorrento - 10:25 - Arrive Sorrento, buy SITA bus ticket (15 min) - 10:40 - Board SITA bus to Positano - 11:30 - Arrive Chiesa Nuova stop, walk to hostel (5 min) - 11:35 - Check in at Hostel Brikette Total time: 2 hours 35 minutes (plus any waiting time if you miss a connection). Afternoon departure: - 14:00 - Arrive at Napoli Garibaldi - 14:15 - Board train - 15:25 - Arrive Sorrento - 15:40 - Board bus (if one departs at this time) - 16:30 - Arrive at hostel Note: Summer schedules (June-September) offer more frequent services. Winter schedules (November-March) have longer gaps between buses, so factor in potential 60-90 minute waits at Sorrento.

What to expect on the journey

The Circumvesuviana is a commuter train, not a tourist service. Expect basic conditions: hard plastic seats, no air conditioning on older trains, and crowded carriages during rush hour (7-9am, 5-8pm). In summer, the train can be very hot. Bring water and dress in layers. The train windows open, providing some ventilation, but carriages can still be uncomfortable in peak heat. Many locals stand near the doors for better airflow. The SITA bus journey is spectacular but nerve-wracking if you're not used to narrow coastal roads. Drivers are experienced and make this journey multiple times daily, but the road has tight bends and steep drops with minimal barriers. Sit on the right side for the best views of the coastline (and less exposure to the cliff edge if heights make you nervous). Both services run year-round, but winter schedules (November-March) are significantly reduced. Summer schedules (April-October) are frequent and reliable, though buses can fill up by mid-morning in peak season (July-August). If traveling in peak summer, aim for morning departures to avoid standing room only. From the hostel, we've noticed that most guests find the journey straightforward once they understand the steps. The main confusion is usually buying the bus ticket at Sorrento — just remember you can't buy on board.
