Trains from Naples to Sorrento
On the cliffs at the far end of the Bay of Naples, Sorrento faces the city across the water with Vesuvius in between, and the train from Naples goes round the bay to reach it, past the buried towns and through lemon groves above the sea. It is the way holidaymakers get from the city to the peninsula, from where the boats go to Capri and the buses wind along the Amalfi coast. The town itself is small, with a square at its heart, a port below the cliffs and streets of shops and restaurants.

About the Naples to Sorrento train
Trains for Sorrento leave from the Piazza Garibaldi side of Napoli Centrale, below the mainline platforms, and the search for them wants a travel day and the people going. Sorrento to Naples, for the trip back, is searched on its own. Along the way the line calls at Herculaneum and at Pompei Scavi, so a day on the coast can take in the ruins as well. Sorrento station is in the town, a short walk from Piazza Tasso, the central square, and from the streets that lead to the Villa Comunale gardens on the cliff edge. Lifts and a winding road go down to the port at Marina Piccola, where the ferries for Capri and the Amalfi towns leave. The town spreads back from the cliffs through citrus groves to the hills, and it stays walkable. Hotels in Sorrento range from the houses on the cliff edge with the view across the bay to quieter places up the hill, and the page shows a selection, with the search giving the whole catalogue. Pick the cliff edge for the view, the centre for the restaurants, or somewhere near the station if the Amalfi coast is the point and Sorrento the base.
