In this episode we'll talk about how to get to Sorrento and the pros and cons of traveling there by ferry vs. train. We'll also talk about the difference between two trains from Naples to Sorrento which are often confused with each other, the Circumvesuviana train and the Campania Express train. Having just been to Sorrento via ferry and left by train, we've also got a couple of fun anecdotes. We're always here to make the mistakes and find solutions so you don't have to!

Taxi rates in Sorrento are standardized, but can be a bit confusing. The most important things to know are:

- The initial charge is €6.00 with surcharges for each 50 meters (between €0.30 and €0.15).

- Each piece of luggage costs €1.00.

- There is an addition €3.00 nighttime charge for rides between 10:00pm and 7:00am.

- There is a holiday surcharge of €2.00.

- The minimum fare, no matter the distance, is €12.00.

- If the taxi is hired to take you outside of Sorrento and drop you off there, therefore returning to Sorrento empty, there is an addition 20% fee. For reference ,hiring a car from a private company (rather than a taxi) to take you to the Naples airport typically costs around €155.

As mentioned, we have some articles about getting to Sorrento from Naples on our website, ⁠onlyabag.com⁠.
