Best Amalfi Travel Guide: Things to Do, Where to Stay & Tips


Getting There

Fly into Naples International Airport (NAP). From Naples, take the Circumvesuviana train to Sorrento (about 1 hour), then SITA Sud bus along the coast to Amalfi (about 90 minutes). Alternatively, take a train to Salerno (40 minutes) and ferry to Amalfi (35 minutes, seasonal April-October). Ferries from Sorrento also serve Amalfi. Private transfers from Naples or Rome are available but expensive. There is no direct train or airport access to the Amalfi Coast.

Getting Around

SITA Sud buses connect all coastal towns year-round along the SS163 road — inexpensive but crowded in summer with frequent traffic delays. Ferries (April-October) link Amalfi, Positano, Minori, and Salerno — the fastest and most scenic option. Private water taxis are available but costly. Scooter rental is popular but only for confident riders — the roads are narrow with hairpin bends. Driving is strongly discouraged: limited parking, one-way systems, and intense traffic. Walking between nearby towns is possible via the extensive trail network.
