Private car transfer
from Rome to Praiano

Right after leaving the dynamic and lively Rome and its urban surroundings, soon you will have vast farms, olive groves, and hills as your views from each car window. This part of your trip will serve as a glimpse into Italy's rural beauty and agricultural heartland. As you approach Naples, you'll start getting glances of the sea as you head towards the Amalfi Coast. And finally, from Sorrento on, the famous Amalfi Drive will begin, taking you along a narrow and winding road with unparalleled vistas of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

One of the best parts of traveling with Daytrip is that you can plan the stops along the way and take as much time as you need to explore all your route has to offer. Start with Anfiteatro Campano, Italy's oldest and second-largest amphitheater, built sometime between the 1st century BC and 2nd century AD. Take a stroll in the underground chambers, trap doors, and ancient Roman tombs. Add Mount Vesuvius as your second stop, where you can take a hike around and to the top of the famous mountain that destroyed Pompeii and its surrounding towns with its eruption on August 24, 79 AD. Check our recommended stops for more inspiration.

The town is naturally decorated with dramatic coves and cliffs, beaten with blue waves of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Thanks to Praiano’s unique location, it houses the only beach on the whole Amalfi Coast where you can enjoy watching the sunset in its entirety.

Mirroring the distinct "vertical" nature of the towns along the Amalfi Coast, the upper section of the town is known as "Praiano Vettica," while the lower section, nearest to the sea, is called "Praiano Inferiore". From the upper part, it's possible to access the Path of the Gods, which starts in Agerola and ends in Nocelle, a small village perched above Positano.

While not as well known as Positano, don’t underestimate this small corner of the coast. It has everything you need from a trip in Italy; sun-drenched days by the beach, crystal clear waters, a chance to withdraw from crowds, and fresh and delicious Italian food.

Control your trip

Daytrip wants you to have your ride exactly how you want it. If you have any special requests or requirements, you can mention these in your booking or contact the customer support team. During your trip, communicate any specific requests or preferences to your driver, whether it's the AC temperature or if you want to stop for a quick photo.

Stop for sightseeing

Along with being the only direct way to travel from Rome to Praiano, Daytrip also is the only travel option that lets you stop for sightseeing. Take advantage of this unique opportunity and enrich your Italian holiday by stopping at must-see sites along the route, such as the imposing Mount Vesuvius or the ancient ruins of Pompeii.

Smart-packing is essential

Pack enough water, nutritious snacks, sunscreen, and lightweight clothes for your trip. Italy’s sun can be quite direct, especially during the summer months. Keep essentials like a hat, sunglasses, and water with you, so you don't have to interrupt your ride looking for something in your suitcase.

How to get from Rome to Praiano

Praiano is accessible from Rome through several different transportation options. Which one to choose depends on personal preferences, with door-to-door private car service being the most comfortable one.

Rome to Praiano by train and bus or taxi

Take a train from Rome to Salerno or Sorrento, and then catch a bus or taxi to Praiano for a cost-effective option. The train from Rome to Salerno is served by Trenitalia's high-speed trains (Frecciarossa or Frecciargento) and takes about two to three hours. From Salerno, take the SITA Sud bus directly to Praiano, or a train to Sorrento and then a SITA Sud bus to Praiano. Although it is an economical option, making so many transfers is not the easiest with luggage.
