Both however are amazing sites worth checking out. We took the speed train
(pricey but worth the time you save) from Rome and went for a long day.
Loved the bullet train, but then got really unlucky and caught the local to Sorrento which seemed to take forever. On our return we stopped at Pompeii and then were lucky to get the express from Pompeii to Naples. Night and day difference when you don't have to stop every 30 seconds.
