Departure station: Napoli Centrale and Napoli Afragola

What about Napoli Afragola?

Don't book Afragola by mistake

Afragola is an out-of-town station. If you're staying in central Naples, always check that your departure is from Napoli Centrale. Getting to Afragola from the city centre requires a bus or taxi and adds 30–40 minutes to your journey.

Arrival station: Arriving at Roma Termini and Rome Tiburtina

What if your ticket says Roma Tiburtina?

Almost all high-speed trains from southern Italy stop at Roma Tiburtina after Roma Termini — so if your service continues beyond Termini, Tiburtina is the next stop. A handful of trains, particularly those originating in Bari or Salerno, may call at Tiburtina only. Roma Tiburtina is connected to Metro Line B, from where Termini is two stops and the Colosseum is reachable at Colosseo station.

Getting from Roma Termini to your destination

• By metro (fastest): Termini is the interchange for both Metro Line A (Vatican, Spanish Steps, Barberini for the Trevi Fountain) and Metro B (Colosseum, Circus Maximus). Tickets cost €1.50 from machines inside the station.
• By taxi: The official rank is directly outside the main exit on Piazza dei Cinquecento. Always use official white Rome taxis and ensure the meter is running.
• On foot: The Baths of Diocletian are a 5-minute walk; Santa Maria Maggiore basilica is around 10 minutes. For the Colosseum or the Vatican, the metro is far more practical than walking.

Frecciarossa

• Avg. duration: as fast as 53 minutes
• Departure station: Napoli Centrale; Napoli Afragola
• Best for: Travellers who want the broadest choice of departure times; families (strong discount policy); business travellers; CartaFRECCIA loyalty card holders.
• Onboard perks: Four classes — Standard, Premium, Business, and Executive. Standard includes free Wi-Fi, power outlets, and reclining seats. Premium adds welcome drinks and snacks on arrival. Business offers leather armchairs, reading lights, and generous legroom. Executive adds Fast Track boarding and complimentary FrecciaLounge access at Napoli Centrale.
• Worth knowing: Super Economy fares are the cheapest but non-refundable and non-exchangeable; Base fares are semi-refundable and fully exchangeable. Book early on TrainPal to secure the lowest tier.

Italo

• Avg. duration: 55 minutes
• Departure station: Napoli Centrale
• Best for: Travellers prioritising comfort and a boutique feel; couples and groups (strong discount offers); travellers under 29 (Italo Young fares); those who value English-speaking customer support.
• Onboard perks: Wide reclining leather seats with extra legroom and power outlets in all classes; free Wi-Fi; no check-in required before boarding; large luggage allowed with no extra charge; at-seat snack and beverage service in Prima and Club Executive classes. Italo Club Lounges at Napoli Centrale are available for Club Executive passengers and top-tier Italo Più loyalty members.

Intercity

• Avg. duration: around 1 hour 20 minutes to 2 hours depending on stops
• Departure station: Napoli Centrale
• Best for: Flexible travellers not in a rush; those looking for a mid-price option between regional and full high-speed fares.
• Onboard perks: Air conditioning, power sockets, Wi-Fi, and a bar service; First and Second Class available.
• Worth knowing: Intercity trains make more intermediate stops and take considerably longer than Frecciarossa or Italo. On a route this well-served by high-speed options, most tourists opt for one of the two main operators.

Regionale

• Avg. duration: around 3 hours depending on stops
• Departure station: Napoli Centrale
• Best for: Budget travellers with no time pressure, happy to trade speed for cost savings.
• Onboard perks: Standard regional seating with air conditioning and luggage racks; no food service on board.
• Worth knowing: As for all regional trains, fares are fixed and don't fluctuate with demand, meaning that the price is the same whether you book weeks ahead or on the day. The journey takes roughly three times longer, only worth considering if budget is the absolute priority and your schedule has plenty of flexibility.

• Book early — prices move fast: Both Frecciarossa and Italo use dynamic pricing on this route. The best time to book is well in advance, as the cheapest Super Economy fares sell out quickly, particularly on morning departures popular with commuters and day-trippers. Compare both operators in one search on TrainPal to catch the best available fare.
• Super Economy means no flexibility: Super Economy tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. If your plans could change, step up to an Economy or Base fare, the small price difference is worth the peace of mind.
• Track in real time: After booking on TrainPal, monitor your train's live status in the app before leaving your hotel. Delays are uncommon on this corridor but do occur, especially in summer.
• Same-day return offer: 30% off the return leg from Sunday to Friday, rising to 50% on Saturdays. The discount applies to all Freccia services but is not available on Executive or private compartments. You need to book at least three days before your outward departure, and while tickets can be changed after purchase, they are non-refundable.
