How many days should you visit the Amalfi Coast?

We recommend that you spend at least 3-5 days on the Amalfi Coast tours. 3 days is enough time to explore the most famous towns here, such as Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello. If you have 5 days or more, you will have the opportunity for more relaxed sightseeing, enjoying the beaches, hiking, and day trips from Amalfi to the nearby islands and historical sites.

Where to stay on the Amalfi Coast

Amalfi: If you are visiting the Amalfi Coast for the first time, it is more convenient to stay in Amalfi Town. This is because it is centrally located with good ferry connections and a relatively flat town center.

Positano: If you prefer a little more special accommodation, this is a cliffside village with unique tiered houses. It features a beautiful beach with lively stores and steep streets.

Ravello: Staying here, you can enjoy the cliffside gardens and the Ravello Festival every summer.

The best way to tour the Amalfi Coast

The roads on the Amalfi Coast are narrow, and access usually relies on several methods:

Ferries: travel between the towns of Positano, Amalfi, and Salerno. Ferries usually operate daily, they offer great sea views from the water, and help to avoid road traffic.

SITA bus: One of the main means of public transportation to the Amalfi Coast, with a daily ticket of €10. The bus also includes stops in Praiano, Positano, and Sorrento. However, traveling by bus can be crowded, especially in high season, and the roads can be slow.

Taxis: offer comfort and flexibility, but cost more. Avoid renting a car due to narrow roads, limited parking, and challenging driving conditions.

Guided tours: if this is your first time here, Amalfi Coast excursions usually include transportation and a guided tour of the main attractions, which simplifies the process of finding a way to get around.
