where would i buy 3 tickets from Naples to Rome? preferably would like to do it online before i go, and i would be happy to travel on the cheapest way possible at around 10am. how much would it be?
Hi Marco – you can purchase most tickets online at http://www.fsitaliane.it/homepage_en.html, but the easiest way is to buy them is at the station. The regional trains are around 11,00 euro and take about 2 1/2 hours. Inter City trains are around 23,00 euro and take about 2 hours. However, if you book far enough in advance, you can get a high speed Frecciarossa train for as little as 19,00 euro and you’ll be in Rome in 1 hour and 10 minutes. These tickets would have to booked in advance online at http://www.trenitalia.com.
How does the Metro in Naples work?
If you for example have an ArteCard for Tutta La Regione (which is first two museums free, plus discount on other museums and free transportation – naples metro, busses to amalfi coast, bus up to vesuvius, busses in naples, etc.) then how do you get on the metro in naples with it?
Yes, you validate the card once on a bus or wherever you use it… but do you have to go through a turnsyle at the metro or re-scan the card? Is there no gate or turnstyle and you just hop on the train without having to scan a ticket?
I’m going to have the Artecard and just wondered how the metro worked (turnstyles, taking passes and touching a touch-pad, etc)
Hi Rob – yes, you do go through turnstiles to get on the metro. I believe this particular ArteCard is paper, so once validated, you should just run it through the machine to activate the turnstile. If it is plastic, there will be a touch pad on the turnstile.
