Porta Nolana — Attraction in Naples

Napoli Porta Nolana is the train station where the Circumsuvena train starts and ends. It is less than 5 minutes walk from Garibaldi station. Hardly anyone other than locals take the train from here. It is a small station with a staffed ticket office. You can easily get a seat on the train going to Sorrento or Scavi-Villa Pompeii.
