From the Airport
You can of course rent a car and drive, but you will not want to use a car once on the Amalfi Coast --- Its like driving in a James Bond film once you hit the narrow, coastal road, but not in a fun way thanks to summer traffic!

You can take a train from Rome to the Amalfi coast, too! You'll probably want to first take a train from Rome to Naples. Trains run frequently, operated by both Trenitalia and Italotreno.

One-way ticket cost to Naples: 40 Euros. From Naples, you'll want to take a mode of transport on to Praiano, so check out the section below for how to do that!

-
Take the Circumvesuviana Train from the main Naples station, Napoli Centrale, to Sorrento (Note: From Naples airport, you can take the Alibus to the main train station. It costs 3 Euro, leaves every 20 minutes and takes about 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can take a taxi for approximately 15 Euro).

Outside Sorrento railway station, you'll find the SITA bus which you can take to Praiano (and all other towns along the coast).

Getting there.
The wedding program will take place over 4 days and will be centered around the picturesque town of Praiano, which sits between Positano and Amalfi in the centre of the stunning Amalfi Coast.
The Amalfi Coast area is easily accessible through either Rome or Naples airports, with the easiest connections generally via ferry from the port of Naples or by car service. The fun (chaos) really begins once you reach the Amalfi coast itself. We’re visiting in the busiest time of year, when the crowds and traffic are legendary.
