Day trips from Rome

[Anonymous]

We did Florence. We were going to do Pompeii but were advised that the travel time was a lot for a day. We packed a lot in in Florence & had a good time.

Interesting, but seems inaccurate. If you left Roma Termini at 8 AM tomorrow, it's almost exactly the same amount of time (around 1:55) to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence or the entrance to Pompeii.

Napes to get to Pompeii. Easy day trip with a guide for Pompeii and Herculaneum, enough time to get pizza in Naples for the train back.

Florence is a little further and frankly is worth more time than a day trip.

Don’t just get pizza. The Naples train station had an awesome bakery/pastry shop that was basically all Italians buying stuff to take home for dinner when we were there. I was a little overwhelmed but everything I got was delicious. It’s the local train from Naples to Pompeii so if you wanted you could get a driver/guide from Naples, who could then probably also swing you by someplace on the coast if you wanted, or Herculaneum if you want more antiquity.

How old are you? There's Anzio, which was an important battlefield in WWII. You can do guided van tours.
