The Amalfi Coast is one of Italy’s most breathtaking destinations, stretching along the Gulf of Salerno where towns like Amalfi and Positano cling to dramatic cliffs above the Tyrrhenian Sea. These postcard-perfect villages draw millions of visitors each year, so planning ahead is essential. Consider hiring a driver—especially from Naples or for day trips. We recommend Ballantonio Limo Service (see our favorite tours). While it can be crowded, the experience is absolutely worth it.

Visitors come for the vibrant colors, dramatic landscapes, and unforgettable local cuisine. With so much within reach by car, bus, or boat, you can explore Pompeii, hike Mt. Vesuvius, shop for local ceramics, walk the Path of the Gods, or cruise between villages and over to Capri.

Thirteen towns make up the Amalfi Coast, each known for its own beaches or landmarks, but all share the same irresistible atmosphere—leisure, beauty, and the joy of la dolce vita.
