Rome to Sorrento by Rail

Rome

Begin your trip in central Rome, where the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and Piazza Navona are all within walking distance. Spend your first days visiting these landmarks, stopping for coffee in side streets and exploring the narrow lanes around the Pantheon. The city is best experienced on foot, with something to see on every corner.

Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel

Reserved entry to St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel is included, skipping the queues and giving you the full experience at your own pace. An audio guide is included to take you through the most important galleries before entering the Sistine Chapel. After the visit, explore Borgo Pio or St Peter's Square for lunch, both within a short walk.

The Colosseum and Ancient Rome

A guided tour of the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill covers three of the most significant ancient sites in the world, all sitting side by side in the centre of the city. It is a proper half day and one of the highlights of any trip to Rome.

From Rome to the Coast

On day four, take the first class train from Roma Termini to Naples. A private driver meets you on arrival and brings you to Sant'Agnello. The journey takes you from the energy of the capital to the terraced hills and coastal towns of the peninsula.

Sant’Agnello

Stay seven nights in Sant'Agnello, a calmer alternative to central Sorrento. You can walk the coastal path into Sorrento for sea views, restaurants and evening strolls. The village itself has small cafés, local shops and shaded streets that are easy to explore without planning a full day out.

Sorrento and the Peninsula

Sorrento offers narrow shopping lanes, small harbours and limoncello stands, with highlights such as Marina Grande, a colourful fishing cove, and Villa Comunale's clifftop terrace overlooking the Bay of Naples.

From Sorrento's harbour you can take boats to Capri, Amalfi or Positano, each offering different ways to spend a day, whether that is visiting cliffside gardens, exploring a cathedral square or spending time by the water at one of the beach clubs.
