Take a direct Italo or Frecciarossa from Firenze Santa Maria Novella to Napoli Centrale. The quickest Italo takes 2 hours 42 minutes and Frecciarossa takes about the same, so allow around three hours. Choose by departure time and total price.

Start at Firenze SMN, arrive at Napoli Centrale

Firenze Santa Maria Novella (Firenze SMN) is Florence's central station and the one to use for most stays. Firenze Campo di Marte is a different station on the east side of the city, so choose it only if your hotel or onward journey is there.

In Naples, Napoli Centrale is the arrival for the city centre. Napoli Afragola is a separate high-speed station about 12 km north of Naples. Stay on board to Napoli Centrale unless Afragola is genuinely closer to you.

Journey times and daily service

Italo runs 21 trains a day from Florence to Naples, from early morning to late evening. Trenitalia adds its own Frecciarossa departures. Times and counts change by date.

Some trains call at Roma Termini or Roma Tiburtina, and some at Napoli Afragola. That is still a direct train: you stay in your seat all the way to Naples.

Fares and seat reservations

Italo tickets for this route start at €23.90. That is a limited low fare, not the price on every departure, and it rises as seats sell. Italo and Trenitalia sell separate tickets, so check both for your day.

High-speed tickets are for a named train with an assigned seat. Trenitalia builds the compulsory Frecciarossa seat reservation into the ticket price. Italo also gives you a seat with the ticket. Choosing a specific Italo seat is optional and costs a small extra fee, from about €2.
