Does anyone know the best way to take a day trip from Rome to Pompeii? I'm visiting in July 08

I suggest train would be the best. The distance from Rome to Pompeii is 150 miles. There are many organized tours from Rome to Pompeii, but it is easy to do by train. It takes approximately 3 hours and costs 21 euros. Eurostars and Intercities are running from Rome to Pompeii. I recommend the Eurostars as they are more reliable. So better book with Eurostar and have a happy journey.

That's great advice - many thanks for your reply. I hope I could just buy my train ticket on the day rather than pre-book? (Never been to Rome before and I really want to include Pompeii if at all possible!)
