First-time visitors
Amalfi is the historic heart of the coast: a cathedral striped in Arab-Norman stone, paper mills inland, and a harbour that still organises the rhythm of the day. It is a practical base as well as a beautiful one.
Plan your visitDirect ferries from Salerno. Buses from Sorrento and Naples via Meta. The town is the transport hub of the central coast.
The centre is compact. Buses climb to Ravello; ferries continue to Positano and Capri.
