How to get to Salerno

Salerno is a historic and beautiful city in southern Italy, well connected by plane, train, bus and car. The conference venue, Grand Hotel Salerno, is within walking distance from the Salerno central station. Below are the most common travel options to reach the city for ESSRI 2026.

✈️ By Air

1) Naples International Airport (NAP) – Main Option

This is the nearest major airport with international and domestic flights.

How to get to Salerno from Naples Airport:

  • Take the Alibus shuttle from the airport to Napoli Centrale train station (approx. 15–20 min). 
  • From Napoli Centrale train station, catch a train to Salerno Centrale train station (high-speed or regional). Train travel is frequent and the journey takes ~35 min (regional) to ~1 h (regional slower). 

Tip: Trains run often throughout the day, making this combination of shuttle + train one of the fastest and most convenient ways to reach Salerno. 

2) Salerno Costa d’Amalfi Airport (QSR) – Secondary Option

Getting into Salerno city center:

  • From Salerno Airport, take a bus connection (Salerno Airlink) to Salerno Centrale train station (about 40 min journey). 
  • Alternatively, use a taxi transfer or a rental car for a direct ride. 

Note: This airport may have more limited flight choices compared with Naples but is closer to Salerno.

🚆 By Train

Italy’s rail network connects Salerno directly with many major cities. For example:

  • From Rome: Fast trains (Frecciarossa/Italo) run to Salerno in about 2–2.5 h. 
  • From Naples: Frequent trains bring you to Salerno Centrale in ~35–60 min.

Welcome to Salerno

Welcome to Salerno, a historic and lively city on the Tyrrhenian coast of Southern Italy — an ideal place to host ESSRI 2026. Nestled between sea and hills, Salerno combines centuries of cultural heritage with a dynamic urban atmosphere and excellent connections to the wider region.
Founded as a Roman colony in 197 B.C., Salerno became an influential medieval center and home to the Schola Medica Salernitana, the first and most important medical school in Europe during the Middle Ages, where scholars from across the Mediterranean developed and shared knowledge.
Today, Salerno’s historic center invites visitors to explore its narrow streets, ancient churches, medieval walls, and Renaissance palaces, while the picturesque Lungomare Trieste promenade offers relaxing views of the Gulf of Salerno.
The city’s vibrant culture is enriched by its museums, botanical gardens, theatres and lively cafés — all within walking distance of the conference venue. Salerno also serves as a perfect base for discovering the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Paestum and Capri, world-renowned destinations easily reachable for day trips.
We are delighted to welcome you to Salerno for ESSRI 2026 — a setting that blends scientific tradition, Mediterranean charm, and modern hospitality, offering an inspiring backdrop for scientific exchange, networking, and collaboration.
