Naples trains are just one part of the extensive public transportation system in the capital of the Campania region in southern Italy. The city is filled with narrow roads, so the people who do not use public transport generally drive small economy cars or scooters. The city is well connected to destinations such as Milan, Rome, and Salerno by motorways called autostrada. Naples Italy transportation also includes buses, taxis, trams, underground trains, hydrofoils and ferries, and high-speed rail. There is a high-speed train that runs back and forth from Rome to Naples for those interested in making this trip while visiting southern Italy. The good news is that you will certainly have a range of options at your disposal when it comes to getting around the city. For those on a limited budget, taking full advantage of the low-cost public transportation system can add up to significant savings.

The Naples Metro system is a very important component of the overall Naples Italy transportation network. It is an efficient system that integrates several railway lines as well as the underground metros. Napoli Centrale (located in the Piazza Garibaldi) is the main train station in Naples, though there are a wide variety of train stops around the city as well. Napoli Campi Flegrei is another significant train station in the city. The Naples trains run to a variety of destinations around the city, including the Piazza del Plebiscito, Santa Lucia and the Castel dell'Ovo, and the Royal Palace, to name just a few. Many popular hotels and restaurants have metro stations very close by.

If you wish to take a train from Rome to Naples (or Naples to Rome), you will have several options at your disposal. Since there is a direct high-speed train between the two cities, you will have the option of taking a direct connection. The high-speed train from Rome to Naples is obviously the quickest way to get from point A to B, but it can also be the most expensive. There are also several lower cost options. The Rapido or Regionale is the slowest, but it is also the least expensive option in terms of viable trains on this route. Expect the trip to take up to three hours. IC and ICplus offer quicker trips at about double the cost, but give you the ability to reserve a seat. As trains can get very busy, having a seat reservation can be a really good idea, especially if you are working with a fixed itinerary. It may be worth the extra cost to ensure a seat on the train. These Naples trains have first and business class seating. The ESA Eurostar trains have first-class compartments, require seat reservations, and are the quickest and most expensive options. The trip on these trains takes less than two hours.
