Trains from Naples to Pompeii
The Roman town buried by an eruption of Vesuvius in antiquity and dug out again over the centuries is the end of this line, and the train from Naples runs along the foot of the volcano to reach it. Many who visit Naples make this trip, as a day out from the city or on the way round the bay to Sorrento. The excavations are large enough to fill a day, with streets, houses, baths and the forum laid out under the open sky and the mountain standing behind them.

About the Naples to Pompeii train
There is more than a single station at Pompeii. Pompei Scavi stands next to the entrance to the excavations, while Pompei station serves the modern town around the sanctuary, and they are some distance apart, so check which your train uses before you pick it. Say when and how many, and search; Pompeii to Naples, for the ride back, is its own search on AI Concierge. In Naples the trains for the Vesuvius side of the bay use the Garibaldi platforms beneath the central station, east of the historic centre, which the metro reaches from the harbour and the old town. The line runs past Herculaneum, the other buried town, on the way, so the day can be built around more than the ruins. Pompeii's hotels on this page are the catalogue's sample, and the search shows the rest. Staying in the modern town makes sense if you want to be at the gates when they open and see the site before the coaches arrive; otherwise it is a day trip from Naples or Sorrento, and the hotel is at the other end of the line.
