Getting around

Start in Rome, where the Metro A line links the Vatican to Termini and Colosseo stops near the Colosseum; walking is best within the historic centre. From Roma Termini, take a high-speed Frecciarossa or Italo train to Firenze Santa Maria Novella, about 1.5 hours. In Florence, buses and trams serve Boboli Gardens and the children's museum, though the old town is walkable. Travel from Florence to Venice Santa Lucia by train, roughly 2 hours, then use vaporetto ferries across the lagoon. For Pompeii, take the Circumvesuviana train from Naples; from Sorrento, local buses and ferries connect to Positano. Use FreeNow or mytaxi for taxis, around $1.5 per kilometre.
