While there are several nearby airports from which you can get to Salerno, this time I will show you how to get to Salerno from Naples Airport. Fiumicino and Ciampino in Rome, and Lamezia Terme are the other nearby airports.

As there are so many things you can't miss in Salerno, it is important that you start your travel itinerary on the right foot, so among the best things to see and do in Salerno, you have to include a good transfer service that will move you comfortably from the airport to Salerno and vice versa.

1. A shared transfer, comfort at a reasonable price

One of the best ways to get around Naples, or in this case to make the transfer from the airport to the city of Salerno, is undoubtedly by sharing a car with another visitor. This works very simply, it's all about locating a platform where you can get someone who wants to carpool, and signing up.

This person with whom you share the car, will ask you to pay an amount for the trip, which of course is much less than the amount you would pay when hiring private transport or a cab. Generally the price you pay for this service depends on the distance and the popularity or safety of the provider on the car sharing platform.

Sites such as Bla Bla Car or other similar ones, are ideal to find this type of shared service. You should keep in mind that this is certainly a good way to get to Salerno in a comfortable way and without paying a lot of money, it is your option if you are traveling backpacker or simply alone.

This is also a good option for you if you hope to save some euros and then use them to do some of the best tours in Salerno. The best thing about this option is that you can request it in advance and you won't have to wait so long at the airport while a cab arrives.

If you are traveling as a family, with children or with friends, certainly one of the best ways to move between Naples Airport and the city of Salerno, is using private transportation. This is a fully dedicated service that you will have to book in advance, so the driver will be waiting at the airport as soon as you arrive to take you to Salerno.

One of the best features of this type of transportation is that you and your group will be traveling alone. In addition you will do it with the best comforts, with air conditioning and in many cases even with wifi included inside the car.

I recommend this service not only when traveling from the airport to Salerno, but also if you plan to make an excursion from Salerno to another tourist site in Naples or nearby areas, because it offers comfort.

It is clear that the disadvantage of this type of rides is that you will have to pay a little more for the service. The prices for this type of service range from 130 euros and up. The price varies according to the number of people and the type of car.

3. Rented car, the most comfortable option for several days

In case you want to stay in Salerno for one or more days, one of the best ways to move around the city is undoubtedly by renting a car with which you can get from anywhere and to any destination. The car rental is usually per day, so you will have to pay a fee for this service.

The biggest advantage of this option is that you will not have to rent a car or get into a cab every time you want to get from one place to another once you are already in Salerno. In the end these car rental options work very well if you go with your family and you have a well established itinerary.

Among the things that you have to take into consideration when renting a car of this style are the capacity of the car in terms of number of passengers and the amount of luggage that you can carry. This can vary the price of the service per day. Another trigger for the price change of this service is the type of car and the age of the driver.

In any case, the car rental service is ideal for you if you want to travel with your family and save some money on cab fares. To hire this service, you can visit any website that offers car rental, some of the options for this are Avis and Kayak.

4. The train, the most popular option

If you want to travel like a local and European between the airport and the city of Salerno, then your option is to travel by train. This is one of the most popular ways to travel throughout Europe. You will also have the opportunity to carry luggage, but you must know that you sacrifice a little bit of the comfort that private transportation offers you.

The train ride can take between one and two hours, but you will love to travel this way because it is a nice way to take a tour prior to the other tours you will have the opportunity to do in Salerno. During the whole trip you will be able to look out the window and delight yourself with the beautiful landscapes that you can find between Naples and Salerno.

It is a good choice whether you are traveling alone or with friends, not being one of the best options if you are traveling with children, because the train can be a bit stressful for them. The advantage of this train ride, besides the views and the price, is that it is a direct line that takes you from the airport to Salerno.

To buy the ticket, I recommend you to visit the official Trenitalia website, where you can see the schedules and prices before buying the ticket that best suits your needs.

Interesting details

  • Travel time: The train ride can take between one and two hours, approximately.
  • Price: You can pay from 5 euros for the trip, although there may be a price variation according to when you make the reservation. That is, if you buy the ticket the same day, you can pay a little more for each ticket.
  • Advantages of using this method: The most advantageous thing about this trip is that you will travel in comfort, and you will also enjoy the most beautiful scenery along the route between the airport and Salerno.
  • How to book this transportation: To book this transportation you will need to go to the Trenitalia website to purchase your tickets. Generally you can use e-tickets.
  • Recommended if... I recommend it if you are traveling alone or with friends, and what you want is to see beautiful landscapes and have comfort without paying too much.

5. A shuttle bus, the cheapest option

In case you want to travel in the cheapest way and also want to do it comfortably and without taking as much time as by train, you can travel by bus. However, there is one disadvantage you have to consider about this means of transportation is that it works for you only if you don't have a lot of luggage with you.

If you think this is the option for you, the first thing you should do is to look for an official bus ticket website, where you can buy the ticket from Naples airport to the city of Salerno. One of the most recognized companies in Europe for this service is undoubtedly Flixbus.

You must take into consideration that this route has a minimum of two stops to make the connection between Naples Airport and Salerno, so once you get on the bus at the airport, you will have to change buses at least a couple of times. Once you buy the ticket, you will have a chance to see the bus route in real time.

The latter is a great advantage because it is a good way to know exactly when the bus will arrive to pick you up, when it will arrive at your destination, among other things. Another advantage of using this method of transportation is that you can board the bus both during the day and at night.

Interesting details

  • Duration of the trip: The bus ride can take about an hour and a half.
  • Price: You will have to pay between 4 and 5 euros per ticket.
  • Advantages of using this method: It is a good method of transportation if you are going to the city with little money and you are traveling alone. You can get on the bus during the day or at night, as long as you have bought your bus ticket beforehand.
  • How to book this transportation: To book a bus ticket on this route, you will have to make a reservation in advance through the travel company's website. The website will tell you everything you need to know about the trip, from the amount of luggage you can carry, to the departure and arrival times, and of course the ticket prices and cancellation policy.
  • Recommended if... You are traveling alone, with little luggage and with little money to spend during your trip.

6. A cab or an Uber, the most expensive option

Finally, if what you are looking for is a trip with all the comforts and you have no problem overpaying, you can opt to get into a cab or call an uber. However, this option is one of the most disadvantageous, since it is a way of getting around that you will have to choose the same day.

Although there are some cab and uber options that allow you to make a reservation, most of the cabs that are stationed outside the airport are ready to receive visitors arriving in Naples. However, one of the disadvantages you should take into consideration when choosing this option is that you will not always find a cab waiting for you.

Due to the large influx of tourists, especially in high season, it is very difficult to get a cab that is willing to take you to Salerno immediately. If you have no problem waiting as long as it takes until a cab or your uber arrives, this is a good option for you.

Although the trip at the end is just as fast as if it were by rented car or private transfer, the price makes a big difference. Also, the cost may vary according to the cab lines you find at the airport and the amenities offered by the car you would be getting into.

Interesting details

  • Travel time: The trip between the airport and the city of Salerno can take between 40 minutes and an hour.
  • Price: The price is a disadvantage, if you take into account that you can pay from 200 euros to get on one. The price also varies according to the amount of luggage you carry and the type of vehicle you get on.
  • Advantages of using this method: The main advantage of taking a cab is that you will arrive quickly to Salerno and you can go with great comfort and with the luggage you need.
  • How to book this transportation: Not all cab lines are available for booking, so you will have to wait at the airport until you get a cab.
  • Recommended if... You are traveling alone or with your family and you forgot to make a reservation before traveling.
