📍 How to Find the Bus at Naples Airport
The Curreri Viaggi stop is at the Tourist Bus Parking area — a separate zone from the city bus stops. Follow these four steps from the terminal exit:
- Exit Terminal 1 Arrivals through the main sliding doors.
- Walk past the taxi rank and the Alibus city bus stop — do not stop here.
- Follow the blue “Bus Turistici / Tourist Buses” signs.
- Look for the Curreri Viaggi coach — the driver arrives approximately 10 minutes before departure.
Walking time from baggage claim: approximately 5–7 minutes. Aim to arrive at the bus at least 10 minutes before departure.
⚠️ Common mistake: The Curreri Viaggi stop is further along than the Alibus stop. First-time travellers often queue at the Alibus by mistake. Keep walking past it until you reach the tourist coach area.
📊 Naples Airport to Sorrento: All Transfer Options Compared
Here is a full, honest comparison of every realistic way to make this journey — from the ultra-budget to the door-to-door luxury option:
| Option | Duration | Cost per Person | Direct? | Best For | Watch Out For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ✅ Curreri Viaggi Bus | 75–90 min | €13 | ✅ Yes | Solo travellers, couples, budget-conscious travellers | Fixed schedule; must book 4+ hrs ahead; traffic can add time |
| 🚂 Train via Naples Central | ~2 hrs | €4–€15 | ❌ No | Very budget travellers with light bags and flexibility | Alibus to Napoli Centrale + Circumvesuviana; crowded; pickpocket risk; not luggage-friendly |
| ⛴️ Ferry (seasonal) | ~1 hr (sea) + transfer to port | €15–€25 + taxi to port | ❌ No | Scenic-experience seekers; April–October travel | Requires taxi to Molo Beverello port; seasonal only; cancelled in rough weather |
| 🚕 Licensed Taxi | ~60–75 min | €90–€120 | ✅ Yes | Late-night arrivals; mobility requirements; last-minute travel | Most expensive per-person option for solo travel; use only official white taxis from the rank |
| 🚐 Pre-booked Private Transfer | ~60–75 min | €90–€140 total | ✅ Yes | Families, groups of 3+, heavy luggage, flight-monitored pickup | Must pre-book; higher cost; quality varies by operator |
| 🚗 Rental Car | ~55 min | €30–€60/day + parking | ✅ Yes | Road-trip itineraries exploring the Amalfi Coast | Sorrento parking is scarce and expensive; ZTL restricted zones; narrow coastal roads |
Bottom line: For most independent travellers, the Curreri Viaggi bus wins outright. It’s the only direct public transfer from the airport to Sorrento, costs just €13, and saves you the multi-leg train faff. Private transfers earn their premium for families with young children or very heavy luggage. The train is a distant budget option with real trade-offs in comfort and time.
