Bus from Amalfi to Naples

There is no direct bus from Amalfi to Naples. The SITA bus runs along the SS163 coastal road — a narrow, winding road that can be slow in high season. Two main connections work:

Option A: Bus to Sorrento → Circumvesuviana train

SITA bus from Amalfi to Sorrento (~1h 30m), then Circumvesuviana commuter train from Sorrento to Naples Garibaldi (~45 min). Total ~2h 30m. Budget price: about €5–8 combined. Circumvesuviana trains run every 30 min. Note: luggage space is limited on the Circumvesuviana.

Option B: Bus to Salerno → Fast train

SITA or FLIXBUS bus from Amalfi toward Salerno (~1h), then Frecciarossa or Intercity train from Salerno to Naples Centrale (30–40 min, from €5). Total ~2h. More comfortable for the second leg.

When to travel and tips

  • Take the ferry in summer: it avoids the congested coastal road entirely and takes the same time as driving. If the ferry runs, it's almost always the right call.
  • Leave early: the SS163 coastal road gets extremely congested after 10:00 in July and August. Buses can run 30–60 min late on busy days.
  • Book ferries in advance in peak season: July and August departures sell out, especially the 08:00–10:00 slots.
  • Naples arrival points: Ferry arrives at Molo Beverello (central Naples, walkable to Piazza Garibaldi). Bus connections arrive at Napoli Centrale or Napoli Garibaldi — both are the same station, served by all metro lines.
  • Avoid the coastal road in rain: the SS163 is prone to delays and occasional closures in bad weather. Check local news (Comune di Amalfi) before traveling October–March.
