Getting around
Arriving
Paestum. On the Salerno to Reggio line, about 35 minutes from Salerno by regional train; the temple gate is a flat 10 minute walk from the station.
Tickets · Trenitalia (arrival) + Busitalia
The archaeological zone, the museum and the handful of restaurants sit together; the temples area is walked
Trenitalia app or machines; Busitalia for local links.
Validate regional paper tickets before boarding.
On foot
- ·Three of the best preserved Greek temples anywhere, in an open meadow site with little shade; go early or late in summer
- ·The site village (the archaeological zone) sits well below the modern hill town of Capaccio; stay near the temples, not the hilltop
Taxis and driving
- ·Easy by car from the A2 with big lots by the site; also the practical way to pair Paestum with the Cilento coast
Official sites: Trenitalia regional · Busitalia Campania
