How to get to Rome from the amalfi coast?

We want to go to the Amalfi coast from tuscany.



Where is the best place to depart in Amalfi coast and should we do it with a train or boat?



Any other way?



Please included prices and times if you are familiar.

An alternative option is to take a bus to Rome. This is a much better idea than it may sound at first. A bus company called Marozzi run a fast efficient coach service from Tiburtina Station in Rome to Amalfi (summer season only) or to Sorrento (all year round). Obviously this method of travel depends upon road congestion, but the buses are usually fast and comfortable. Typically the Rome - Amalfi bus will leave Rome at 7am, arriving in Sorrento at 10:30am and Amalfi at 12 noon. The Sorrento service outside summer months generally leaves Rome at 3pm and arrives in Sorrento at 7pm. The return journey is at 3:25pm from Amalfi, picking up in Sorrento at 5pm and reaching Rome at 9pm. There is also an early morning service from Sorrento at 6am. Do check the latest timetables as the times may change. The cost will be around 鈧?0 each way or 鈧?5 return to Amalfi, less to Sorrento. It is possible to buy tickets online, at various travel agencies in Rome (listed on the Marozzi website) or at the Marozzi kiosk by the bus station. (This is outside Tiburtina station; cross the area where orange ATAC buses are parked and you find a smarter covered area for long-distance coaches.) When we travelled on the buses a few years ago in October we were told there was no need to book in advance, so we queued at the kiosk just before departure, but we'd suggest calling ahead to check, especially in peak season.

Have a great trip! Jimmy
