At a glance

Amalfi gives its name to one of Italy’s best-known coastlines. Behind the waterfront, the town’s lanes lead towards Piazza Duomo and the Cathedral of St Andrew. Start there, then follow your curiosity.

Three ideas for your trip

  1. Find the heart of Amalfi

    Walk towards Piazza Duomo and take in the cathedral’s staircase and setting. Check visiting arrangements before entering the cathedral complex.

  2. Follow the lanes

    Give yourself time to explore the streets away from the waterfront. A slow morning is a good counterpoint to a busy coastal itinerary.

  3. Choose one nearby stop

    Add a neighbouring town only if it fits comfortably into your day. Look up current transport options rather than assuming every connection runs year-round.

Common questions

How many days should I plan?

A starting point is ⁦3–4⁩ days. Add time for arrival, transfers and a slower pace. This is a planning suggestion, not a minimum requirement.

Can I visit without a car?

Compare ferry services and buses with your accommodation and dates. Services can be seasonal. Check the last return journey and keep an alternative for weather disruption.

How much will the trip cost?

Prices depend on dates, room choices and activities. Use actual quotes in the budget calculator instead of treating a destination average as your price.
