Local tips
- Do it on your first day: you will find your way around much better for the rest of the trip.
- Take the boat rather than the bus to Positano in summer, as the coast road can be very slow.
- Board the Circumvesuviana early for Pompeii, as trains get crowded and the site is hot by midday.
