Airports
The 3 airports we recommend for people who want to fly into Italy and head straight to the Vietri/Salerno area for the wedding are the Naples International Airport, the Rome Fiumicino Airport, and the brand new Salerno/Costa d’Amalfi Airport. The Naples and Rome airports have international fights arriving from many places, while the new Costa d’Amalfi airport only has flights from select European cities.
Naples International Airport
From Naples, the best way to get to the Vietri/Salerno area is by train. After arriving at the airport, there is a bus that takes you to the central train station Napoli Centrale. The bus is just outside of arrivals, is well marked with signs, and only costs a few euros. Link to the bus website.
From the Napoli Centrale train station, you take a train to Salerno. Once arrived in Salerno, if you are staying there you can walk or take a taxi to your hotel. The train station is located at the start of a large pedestrian street. If you are staying in Vietri, you can take a taxi or ferry from Salerno.
Rome Fiumicino International Airport
From Rome, the best way to get to the Vietri/Salerno area is also by train. After arriving at the airport, there is a small train called the Leonardo Express that takes you to the central train station Roma Termini. The train is just outside of the ticketing area, and is very well marked with signs. The ticket can be bought here.
From the Roma Termini train station, you take a train to Salerno. It is easiest to buy a ticket without any train changes. Once arrived in Salerno, if you are staying there you can walk or take a taxi to your hotel. The train station is located at the start of a large pedestrian street. If you are staying in Vietri, you can take a taxi or ferry from Salerno.
Salerno/Costa d’Amalfi Airport
If you manage to find a ticket directly to the Salerno/Costa d’Amalfi Airport that’s great! To get to Salerno, you just need to take a taxi or bus. The bust ticket can be purchased here. Once arrived in Salerno, if you are staying there you can walk or take a taxi to your hotel. The train station is located at the start of a large pedestrian street. If you are staying in Vietri, you can take a taxi or ferry from Salerno.
Trains
The trains in Italy can take you across the country, and are generally very convenient and comfortable travel options. The trains often (but not always) have assigned seats, and space to put your luggage. We highly recommend these for traveling between cities.
The website we recommend to use for buying tickets is trenitalia.it. It is a great website and it’s in English, and the app is fantastic for buying, managing, and showing tickets. We recommend downloading the app. Don’t forget to activate your tickets before you get on the train!
Ferries
Towns on the Amalfi coast are very difficult to reach by car because of the small roads and very little parking, so we recommend using the local ferry system to reach them. There are ferries running up and down the coast stopping at many towns on the Amalfi coast that are very convenient and quite affordable. We recommend TravelMar.
