Why visit Amalfi Coast?

The Amalfi Coast is a rugged vertical landscape where the Lattari Mountains plunge directly into the Tyrrhenian Sea. Begin in Positano, navigating the steep, terracotta-colored stairways that define its iconic architecture before heading to the Fiordo di Furore, a dramatic sea arch carved into the cliffs. Lunch requires a plate of Scialatielli ai Frutti di Mare, a thick pasta local to the region, followed by a visit to the terraced gardens of Villa Cimbrone in Ravello, which offer an unobstructed horizon line from the Terrace of Infinity. The coastline demands a slow pace, allowing the scale of the precipices to truly sink in as you travel between the pastel-hued dwellings.

Continue toward the town of Amalfi to inspect the 9th-century Duomo di Amalfi, characterized by its striking striped Byzantine facade and intricate bronze doors cast in Constantinople. Conclude your trip in Praiano, a quieter hillside village perfect for watching the sun dip behind the Faraglioni rocks of Capri. Before departing, visit a local vendor for a glass of authentic Limoncello di Sorrento, crafted from the oversized, thick-skinned lemons grown in the terraced groves of the Valle delle Ferriere. The combination of ancient maritime history and high-altitude Mediterranean flora creates a singular sensory experience found nowhere else in Amalfi Coast.

Amalfi Coast: practical tips

Getting in, getting around and what a day costs — checked by our editors.

From the airport

The primary gateway is Naples International Airport (NAP). From there, travelers typically take a shuttle bus or taxi to Naples Centrale station, taking about twenty minutes. Trains run to Sorrento in roughly one hour, where regional buses connect to coastal towns. Alternatively, seasonal ferries operate from the port of Naples to various coastal villages, with journey times ranging from one to two hours depending on the specific destination and sea conditions.

Getting around

Public bus networks connect most coastal villages, though buses are often crowded during peak seasons. Ferries provide the most scenic and efficient transit between major towns, particularly from spring to autumn. Roads are narrow and winding, making car hire challenging for inexperienced drivers. Walking is essential for exploring historic centers, which often feature steep staircases and pedestrian-only zones throughout the rugged terrain.

Where to base yourself

  • Positano — Travelers seeking iconic cliffside views, luxury boutique experiences, and a vibrant, upscale seaside atmosphere.
  • Amalfi — Visitors wanting a central historic hub with excellent maritime transport connections and medieval architectural sites.
  • Ravello — Those who prefer peaceful gardens, classical music venues, and dramatic elevated panoramas above the sea.
  • Praiano — Quiet seekers who desire authentic local charm and long sunset views away from the massive crowds.

Tipping is not mandatory, as service charges are often included, but leaving a small cash gratuity for exceptional restaurant service is appreciated.
