Getting around

"Trecase is best explored on foot due to its compact size. Local buses connect to nearby towns like Torre del Greco and Pompeii. The Circumvesuviana train line (stations at Torre del Greco or Pompeii) provides access to Naples, Sorrento, and archaeological sites. Taxis are available but can be expensive. Renting a car offers flexibility but parking is limited. Biking is possible for the adventurous."
