How to get from Naples Airport to Sorrento (2026)

Sorrento lies 52 km by road from Naples Capodichino Airport (NAP), at the end of the Sorrentine Peninsula. You can take one direct bus a few times a day, combine the airport bus with the Circumvesuviana train, or go door to door by car.

By direct bus (Curreri)

Curreri Viaggi runs the only direct scheduled bus from Naples Airport to Sorrento. In the current timetable it leaves the airport at 09:00, 11:00, 12:00, 13:00, 14:30, 16:30, 18:00 and 19:30; the 09:00 bus reaches Sorrento train station at 10:15, after stops in Meta, Piano di Sorrento and Sant'Agnello. A ticket to Sorrento costs €13.00 and can be bought online up to 4 hours before departure. The bus leaves from the P Bus stop next to the P1 car park and arrives there 10 minutes before departure. The operator notes that times are indicative and can be longer in high season.

By Alibus and the Circumvesuviana train

The Alibus links the airport with Piazza Garibaldi (Napoli Centrale) in about 15 minutes; a ticket costs €5.00 from the machines on the ground floor of the arrivals area, online or on board. From the Napoli P. Garibaldi station of the EAV Circumvesuviana, trains on the Napoli–Sorrento line run every 30 minutes, from 05:33 to 22:03, and take 72 minutes to Sorrento (timetable valid from 17 October 2026). The Napoli–Sorrento fare is €4.60; you can also tap a contactless card at the gates and the system charges the fare for your trip. The trains are local commuter trains with no luggage racks to speak of, and they are often full in summer.

By car

The road route is 52 km: the A3 motorway towards Salerno, then the SS145 Sorrentina along the coast from Castellammare di Stabia. Without traffic it takes about 65 minutes. The SS145 is narrow and slow on summer weekends, and the centre of Sorrento around Piazza Tasso has a limited-traffic zone (ZTL), so check your hotel's access and parking before you drive in.

Where you meet the driver

Naples Capodichino has one main terminal. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall, just after baggage reclaim, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and you get 60 minutes of free waiting after landing, so a delay or a slow baggage belt is not a problem.

What to choose

Travelling light and landing in the daytime: the direct Curreri bus is the easiest public option, if a departure fits your arrival. Arriving after 19:30, or just missing a bus: Alibus plus the Circumvesuviana, which runs every 30 minutes until about 22:00. With children, several suitcases or a group of four or more: a private transfer to the door saves two changes and a crowded commuter train.

Good to know

  • The direct Curreri bus has only 8 departures a day, the last at 19:30, so check it against your landing time.
  • Circumvesuviana trains to Sorrento leave Napoli P. Garibaldi at 3 and 33 minutes past the hour.
  • The Alibus ticket is sold at machines on the ground floor of the arrivals area.
  • Sorrento's centre around Piazza Tasso is a ZTL, closed to unauthorised cars.
