Getting to Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast road is famous for its hairpin bends, breathtaking views and general scariness. For those wanting to experience the views without the cost of renting a car and the stress and expense of parking, the public SITA buses are the way to go. They are very cheap (from 2 to 6 euros) and run directly from Sorrento and Salerno quite frequently.

If your in Naples, it is an easy trip by train down to Sorrento (Pompeii is on the way - another must see) Then you can buy a return ticket (lasts for 24hr) at the station or at most tabacchi shops or bars where you see a SITA sign and your on your way.

This is well worth a visit and the bus ride there and back is unforgettable to say the least.

COLOSSEUM - Instant Roman VIP

When visiting the Colosseum, if you go at a busy time, you may have to wait upwards of an hour.
Don't waste your time or money paying for one of those dodgy 'tour guides' that scour the line looking for suckers to charge twice as much.

Want the tip - beat the line by simply going to the Forum first and buying your ticket there.
See the ticket you buy at the Colosseum is the exact one you buy at the Forum, and vice versa. It is one ticket that gets you into both places. As hardly anyone goes to the Forum, simply line up there for 5 minutes, buy the ticket, and walk the 500 meters to the Colosseum.

You walk straight to the front of the line, put your ticket in, and BOOM - instant Roman VIP.
