Actor Alberto Sordi once said about Rome, ‘Rome is not like any other city. It’s a big museum, a living room that shall be crossed on one’s toes.’ Cross through the living room of this eternal city, and nearby are plenty of destinations within a day’s reach. Yearning for the land of pizza and espresso? Naples is a stone's throw away. Maybe you're a beach baby — the Amalfi Coast calls! Explore these and other exciting destinations with this guide. Choose the best day trip from Rome, without compromising on comfort and convenience.
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.
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.
From Rome, you can easily visit neighboring cities like Naples, Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Positano, Pompeii and Herculaneum.
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.
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!
Yes, once you reach a stop you are allotted enough time to explore on your own, grab a bite, or click pictures.
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.
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.
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.
