How to Get to Sorrento from the Central Station
If you are at the Garibaldi Station in Naples, getting to Sorrento is very easy.
It is necessary to take the Circumvesuviana, which is located on the lower level of the same station.
It is a kind of subway that will take you directly into the center of Sorrento.

The one-way single ticket costs €4.20.
The hourly (Integrated) ticket, which is worth 180 minutes, costs 5.30 euros.
Allows an unlimited number of trips using one or more transportation companies, within the predetermined time validity and mileage range. When the time validity expires, the title is considered invalid.
Remember that the Circumvesuviana is a busy commuter train, and it is possible, therefore, that it will be very crowded. If you have a lot of luggage, you may have difficulty getting on and also there are no dedicated spaces and you may be forced to make the trip standing next to your luggage.
