The non-stop service will save travelers between 15 and 30 minutes.
According to Stanford University’s interactive ORBIS map, it would have taken ancient Romans more than two days to trek 184 miles from Rome to Pompeii in 200 CE. Now you can complete that journey in under two hours.
Trenitalia just rolled out a new high-speed train route between the two Italian cities that will take exactly one hour and 57 minutes, as reported by Travel + Leisure. Prior to this direct service, travelers had to either change in Naples or in Salerno, which added between 15 and 30 minutes of extra time.
The non-stop service launched on July 16 but will initially only operate on the third Sunday of the month. (This may increase in the future.) The next departures are scheduled for August 20, September 17, and October 20. The train will leave Rome at 8:43 a.m. and come back from Pompeii at 6:40 p.m.
