- Are there any practical tips for this route?
- Park at a hotel garage on arrival and leave the car there. Naples city centre is poorly suited to driving; walk or use the metro instead. Book timed entry tickets online in advance at pompeiitickets.org. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water; there is little shade inside the site. The Circumvesuviana train connects Sorrento to Naples (1 hr) and Pompeii (30 min). Use it to return a rental car in Naples first if you find coastal driving stressful. Parking costs around €4-5 per hour; book hotel parking in advance or use the car parks above the village and walk down. Expect a significant number of steps. Drive down to Amalfi town (10 min) for the cathedral and lunch; Ravello itself is tiny. The road to Ravello is narrow; arriving by bus from Amalfi is a practical alternative. The site opens at 9 am; arrive early for golden-hour light on the temples. The museum closes on Mondays. Budget 2-3 hours for both site and museum.
