Local Tip
What’s the Best Way to Get Around Paestum?
If you’re planning to explore Paestum, you don’t necessarily need a car. If your main goal is to visit the Temples, the archaeological site is about a 10-minute walk from Paestum train station.
However, many hotels and accommodations in the archaeological area are located farther from the station, particularly along Via Tavernelle, so reaching your accommodation on foot can take 15–20 minutes or more, depending on the exact location. If you’re travelling with luggage, a pre-booked private transfer can be a more comfortable option.
If you want to explore Cilento, renting a car or booking a private driver is even more useful. Villages, beaches, farms, restaurants and local experiences are spread across the area rather than concentrated in one town centre.
If you’re visiting the Temples or spending a relaxing week by the sea, a private transfer can be a convenient way to get around without having to drive or rely on local public transport.
