Frequently asked questions about day trips from Rome
How much do day trips from Rome cost?
Depending on where your day trip destination is, prices can vary from €85 all the way up to €299. You can expect to pay more if your experience includes a guide, food tasting, etc.
What can I expect from a day trip that begins from Rome?
You can expect to board your AC coach/train from Rome (check your ticket as some experiences offer hotel pick ups), an expert driver who might sometimes also be your local guide, an exploration of the local delights of the destination, a potential meal and even some time to do your own exploration. At the end of the day, you will be dropped back at Rome. Do check your ticket thoroughly to understand what you can get out of a day trip.
What are some nearby cities from Rome that I can cover in a day?
From Rome, you can easily visit neighboring cities like Naples, Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Positano, Pompeii and Herculaneum.
How long will I spend at each destination on my day trip?
That depends on how many stops are part of your day trip. If it’s more than 2 stops, you can expect to spend at least 2 hours in each area. If it’s two or less stops, you can spend between 4 and 6-6.5 hours in each location.
If I’m visiting multiple stops, is there transport available to and from the intermediate stops?
Yes. For example, if you’re booking the Pompeii and Herculaneum Guided Tour by High-Speed Train from Rome, you will take a high-speed train from Rome to Naples. From Naples, there will be transfers to Pompeii and Herculaneum that’s included in the ticket price. Don’t worry, travel hassle-free!
Is there any free time allocated for exploration or relaxation?
Yes, once you reach a stop you are allotted enough time to explore on your own, grab a bite, or click pictures.
Are there any additional costs I should be aware of during the trip?
Besides your ticket, you might want to set aside some money for the experiences you will likely indulge in on your day trip. These typically include:
Meals: If you’re dining at a much-hyped tourist destination like Amalfi Coast, expect to set aside at least €30-35 for a two course meal. In comparison, Naples is cheaper, with the average price ranging from €15 to 25 per meal. Note that these costs vary depending on the type of restaurant you go to — a gourmet experience will naturally be on the higher side.
Shopping: While this is entirely dependent on your preferences and purchasing power, it’s recommended to keep aside at least €40-50 to buy keepsakes like limoncello, and an additional €30-40 if you want to purchase, say, handmade sandals from Sorrento.
What should I wear on a day trip from Rome?
As these destinations are typically warm, wear comfortable and airy clothing in cotton and linen. For the style-conscious, it’s a great idea to sport sun dresses and skirts while visiting the coastal towns of Amalfi and Positano. If you’re visiting Herculaneum and Pompeii, wear sturdy shoes as these sites require quite a bit of walking.
Are day trips suitable for kids?
Definitely! It’s a good idea to give children some context on the places they’re about to visit, so they can appreciate their visit better. Maps, interactive books, etc. on Pompeii and Herculaneum, for example, can pique their curiosity and encourage them to engage with the guide, etc. Carry snacks and light refreshments as the journey can take 2-3 hours depending on the destination. Once you arrive also, you might not be able to eat immediately. Note that Pompeii and Herculaneum are not stroller-friendly, so replace the wheels with a baby carrier.
