Best Salerno Tours from Venice

See where southern Italy was invaded during WWII by Allied forces who forced the German army to withdraw. Salerno, the seat of the Italian government for four months during the war, is today a somewhat gritty industrial town but retains an appealing medieval center. Amalfi Coast-adjacent Salerno also possesses one of the most striking seafront promenades on this coast. However, its most famous landmark is the 7th-century Castello di Arechi, which looms over the city and has commanding views of the Gulf of Salerno.
