Narrow (sometimes dangerous) roads add hours to your trip.
In a nutshell
A wonderful place to visit but I wouldn't like to live ther.
solopes Says: Steep slopes plung into the sea, here and there with small towns perching over each other or even over the water. It is really not much inviting to swim, with the small stripes of sand squeezed among houses and rocks, but it composes wonderful landscapes, making the tour of...
Jetgirly Says: Known as the City of Music, Ravello is a thirty-minute bus ride from Amalfi. Perched high upon a cliff, the town offers excellent views of the sea and countryside, as well as concerts and musical events year-round. High-flying travelers may wish to stay in one of Ravello's...
solopes Says: Dating from the XIX century but several times reconstructed and adapted, the cathedral of St. Andre shows an oriental look, with evidence to the Paradise Cloister built in the XIII century. The kids followed me in, but, to be honest, Fernanda preferred to walk along the...
solopes Says: When I decided to travel along the Amalfitan coast, I was expecting to see some of the most beautiful beaches of Italy. Well, beaches is not the exact word to describe what I saw. there are a few small banks of sand stretched in the hills, but calling them beaches is... a...
aukahkay Says: The Piazza Duomo is the center of Amalfi village. The Cathedral of Saint Andrew dominates the piazza. On the piazza are numerous cafes, restaurants, shops and hotels. What a better way to spend a lazy afternoon than sitting down in a cafe over a cup of cappucino and watching...
aukahkay Says: Dominating the Piazza Duomo is Saint Andrew's Cathedral. The cathedral dates back to the 11th century and its interior is adorned in the late Baroque style with a nave and two aisles divided by 20 columns. Within the cathedral is a bronze statue of Saint Andrew.
Balam Says: Overlooking the Piazza Duomo at the top of a magnificent flight of stairs is the Duomo of Saint Andrew. The cathedral dates back to 1000 AD The gold caisson ceiling has four large fresco's by Andrea d'Aste depicting the flagellation of Saint Andrew, the miracle of Manna, The...

Cafe Europa: Great for people watching!
xstacey Says: We didn't eat anything other than pizza here... we mainly stopped in for drinks and limoncello on each visit to Minori (located on the square). The cafe is owned/operated by a German/ Italian family - they were super friendly and always took time to chat with us. Vino and...
Lo Scugnizzo: If you love bruschetta
willypit Says: This is not a fancy restaurant by any means, just a family ( the mom is the cook, the son the waiter) run operation. The food is outstanding, not only do they make a great pizza, but they also are a paticceria. Now what drew me to sit down at one of their tables was a plate...
Calajanara Restaurant: Conca dei Marini
grandmaR Says: This is a restaurant at the La Concha Azzurra Hotel which has also Allerè Art Shop with it. We stopped here on our way along the Amalfi Drive. The main thing in favor of this place is the view and location. Here there were no hamburgers for my picky grandson so I ordered...

BorneoGrrl Says: You can catch the public coach (SITA, blue coach) from the Sorrento train station. Remember, tickets are only validated, not sold on the coach but you can buy them from grocery stores or a little shop located at the train station. Tickets cost €2.40 for a 2-hr journey but...
Amalfi Transfer car and minivan service
jenniferbugg Says: My entire visit to the Amalfi area of Italy was made easy and beautiful by using Amalfi Transfer, a driving and transfer service. Anthony Buonocore, the driver and owner, was a GREAT help during the trip. His knowledge of English was great, the car (which seats up to 8) was...
Allerè Art Shop: Ceramics and more
grandmaR Says: We did a little shopping at Allerè Art shop café - the store that was there- and had the things shipped to my daughter. Things were shipping promptly, but there was a problem with the delivery when they left notes while my daughter was out of town. Then they called me and of...
Karlie85 Says: Amalfi is not a place for drivers to begin with. There is pretty much the one main road that goes up through the town. It is extremely narrow and covered with pedestrians. Even though it is a road, there are many times more people than cars on it. We drove to Amalfi from...
kcochran111 Says: Flip-flops for the rocky beaches. Towel/sarong because those rocks get HOT! Hat and/or sunglasses. SUNSCREEN!!!! Lots of film, because the scenery is spectacular. Thermarest for sleeping on the rocky beaches. Tent & toilet paper for the campsites.
Bring a good pair of walking shoes
aukahkay Says: The roads in Amalfi and in all the villages in the Amalfi Coast are cobblestoned. They are steep, narrow and winding. Wear a well padded pair of shoes for the long and arduous walks uphill. Slippers and sandals cannot provide a proper grip on the cobblestoned roads and can...
Watch Amalfi from the mountain and ride down hills
deconcilio Says: Go by minivan/van from the the lookout places of Agerola village and start our daily cycling excursion in picturesques down roads, stop at the Fausto Coppi monument in Furore, the painted village of Amalfi Coast.After the stop at the monument we continue our cycling...
biglou10 Says: We had a tour scheduled from Sorrento to Amalfi via the Amalfi Coast which was canceled. This was the best thing that could have happened. We paid 100 euros each for the "tour". After visiting the train station, we purchased 2 bus tickets for Amalfi which goes along the...
brief travelogue from Amalfi coast
docmanic Says: We have gone there now, and returned. I wrote a travelogue which all my friends either loved, or they lied about it. I placed it on my website, and hope someone may draw a benefit from it. The segment about Amalfi coast is about 1/2 way down. The entire article takes about...
