This station looks scary but quite honestly, it's well lit and has really good signage, so it was…read morehard to get lost. There were plenty of people waiting to get on the tracks with luggage, like us, so be aware it might get a little crowded. We didn't think it was that bad though. Out stop was the last one, about an hour and 15 minutes to Sorrento from Naples and the train cleared out quite a bit as we went along.

The Circumvesuviana is at the lower levels of the station. The ticket can be directly purchased from the ticket window. Be aware of your surroundings, as there are many shady characters around. There is good police presence, but still one has to be careful. There are about 19 stations before the train stops at Pompeii Scavi and it takes 35 minutes or so. The entrance to the ruins are just to the right of the station and very convenient. On the return, make sure you have tickets for the Circumvesuviana, which can only be purchased from the ticket window. There is an express train to Naples, which does not honor the circumvesuviana tickets. This train has a conductor that checks the tickets on entry.
