Getting to the venue
**Recommended: Trenitalia Napoli–Salerno metropolitan line.**
The **Portici-Ercolano** Trenitalia station is the reference stop for the Dipartimento di Agraria — a short walk to the venue. It is served by Trenitalia regional and metropolitan trains on the Napoli–Salerno line, which is modern, comfortable, and reliable, and therefore the strongly preferred option for international attendees (especially with luggage).
**Please avoid the Circumvesuviana line** (aging rolling stock, frequent delays, and known safety/comfort issues). Use Trenitalia instead.
From the main hubs on the Napoli–Salerno Trenitalia line, the venue is reachable in 5–20 minutes:
- Attendees in **Naples city centre** → board at **Napoli Centrale**, **Napoli Piazza Garibaldi**, or **Napoli Campi Flegrei / Mergellina** (direction Salerno / Torre Annunziata) and alight at **Portici-Ercolano**.
- Attendees in **Ercolano / Miglio d'Oro** → the Portici-Ercolano Trenitalia station is itself a short ride or walk away.
- Attendees in **Torre del Greco** → board at **Torre del Greco** Trenitalia station (direction Napoli) and alight at **Portici-Ercolano**.
Ticket cost
A single regional ticket between **Napoli Centrale ↔ Portici-Ercolano** costs approximately **€1.80 – €2.20 one-way** (Trenitalia regional fare, same price in both directions). Journey time is roughly **20 minutes**, with ~40 trains/day. Tickets can be bought at station ticket machines, from the Trenitalia app, or at <https://www.trenitalia.com/>.
Tip for daily commuters: a **weekly or multi-day Unico Campania / TIC** pass covering the Napoli–Portici-Ercolano stretch can be cheaper than buying single tickets each day. https://www.anm.it/s/biglietti-e-abbonamenti?language=en_US
