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!)

Unless you have a car and are willing to drive yourself, I would agree that anyone who is wondering how to get from Rome to Pompeii should lean towards taking a train. Especially for a day trip. Regular trains from Rome to Naples take about two or two and a half hours, while the speedier AV trains only take about 90 minutes to execute the trip. From Naples, it is just a short trip to Pompeii.
