Sorrento Travel Forum

Are the buses from Sorrento to Amalfi, Positano and Ravella likely to be packed the third week of April? Can we purchase one ticket for the entire trip and be able to get off the bus to explore the different towns? If so, what ticket should we ask for? Could the Campania Artecard be used for this transportation?

Hmmmn, this is the first I have heard of the Campania Artecard, but in looking at the website, it looks like some of these cards can be used (not all of the Artecards include transportation, so look closely).

Unfortunately, the Unicocampania website (for the transportation info) is maddingly imprecise on what services it is valid on...it just says it is good on "...su tutti i mezzi delle Aziende aderenti al Consorzio UNICOCAMPANIA" [on all the transports of the agencies that are members of the UNICOCAMPANIA consortium]...big help ;-)

However, the same page has a graphic that shows, among other towns, Sorrento and Amalfi, so one would hope that this will work for you to Positano and Ravello and other places...but it would be nice to hear from others who might know more...

We have been to Sorrento a couple of times in late April and early May. It was less crowded than in late May onwards. So the bus to Amalfi was comfortable. There are Daily tickets (4.80 eur) for use after 10.00 am mon - fri. and weekend daily tickets (3.90 eur) with no time restriction for sat or sunday. These can be used for multiple journies within the relevant zone. They may not be valid on the local bus which transfers from the main road down to Positano and back.
