2025 Amalfi Coast Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

The Amalfi Coast, with its 50km long coastal road, has become a household name thanks to its popularity among artists, celebrities and royalty. As you travel along the rugged coastline, you will see a series of coastal towns and medieval villages, all built against towering cliffs, which are a breath of fresh air. The bends along the way are narrow and the wind is strong, so it is recommended that you take a break from time to time to enjoy the spectacular scenery, taste the fresh seafood and Mediterranean cuisine, and savor the unique flavors of the local food. The small towns along the way are not only beautiful, but also popular for their unique handicrafts.

To call Positano, located on the picturesque Amalfi Coast in Italy’s province of Salerno, magical is no exaggeration. Greats of cinema, literature, and music like John Steinbeck, Franco Zeffirelli, Wilhelm Kempff, and Mick Jagger fell under the spell of the colorful village, and there is more than one reason why they all got inspired. To quote John Steinbeck’s 1953 essay in Harper’s Bazaar: Positano bites deep. Maybe he heard the song of the mystical sirens, sea creatures who lived on the tiny islands of Li Galli, enticing visitors and sailors with their song, and, according to Greek legend, Ulysses too. #city #cityoverlook #citytopics #cityvacation #cityneversleeps #village #architecture #tripinspired #tripaway #europeanarchitecture #bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders

Missing the sea breeze here. The golden sea was just too beautiful. If you are going to Positano, save a day for an excursion to the nearby Amalfi. #amalfi #italy #seasidephotoguide #sunshine

#summervacay My journey along the Amalfi Coast was absolutely magical! Driving along the winding coastline, with dramatic cliffs on one side and the dazzling blue Mediterranean on the other, was simply breathtaking. The sound of waves crashing against the rocks, the salty sea air mingling with the sweet scent of lemon trees – every breath was pure bliss. Positano is truly a fairytale town perched on a cliffside. Its colorful houses are stacked one upon another, like an artist's palette exploded across the landscape. It's an explosion of vibrant hues, making it utterly picturesque. In Amalfi, the Cathedral of St. Andrew (Duomo di Sant'Andrea) stands majestically. Its Gothic architecture is incredibly solemn and grand, while the intricate frescoes and sculptures beautifully narrate centuries of history. Stepping inside felt like a journey back in time, a silent conversation with the past. One of the highlights was taking the elevator from Amalfi up to the hilltop platform and then hiking along the coastal path down to Atrani. Walking this trail, overlooking the magnificent coastline, was an indescribable experience. Every vista I encountered along the way felt like a precious gift from nature. The Amalfi Coast is truly a secluded dream, leaving me completely enchanted and longing to return. It's an unforgettable escape! #AmalfiCoast #ItalyTravel #Positano #Amalfi #DuomoDiSantAndrea #CoastalHike #Mediterranean #TravelItaly #DreamDestination #HiddenGem 🇮🇹✨

Beautiful trip to the Amalfi Coast (Naples, Sorrento, Capri, Amalfi and Salerno). The most wonderful views and food throughout.

#5月好去处2025 The Amalfi Coast on the Sorrento Peninsula has a 50-kilometer coastal road and has become a well-known tourist destination. It is also listed as a World Heritage Site. The Amalfi coastline extends to Positano in the west and Salerno del Mar in the east. This time, I chose the more popular towns of Positano, Amalfi and Ravello, but I felt that I didn't have enough time to walk around. Colorful houses are built on the hillside, and beautiful flower beds are dotted from top to bottom. The different shades of blue in the sea are connected to the blue of the sky. Strolling in the beautiful and colorful town, feeling the natural unbeatable sea view and the beautiful mountain town is really enough for this life memory.

#summervacay Imagine winding roads carved into cliffs, lemon groves above your head, and turquoise seas below — that’s the Amalfi Coast in summer. Starting in Positano, I soaked in its pastel beauty before heading to Ravello for garden views and peaceful piazzas. The drive itself was thrilling — hairpin turns with jaw-dropping scenery! Amalfi Town brought a mix of history and gelato, while a detour to Fiordo di Furore gave us a hidden cove to cool off. Every stop came with limoncello, sea breezes, and that Italian summer glow. One word? Bellissima.

#EuropeExploration Day 1: Naples From Rome to Naples by ITALO high-speed train. (It takes about 70 minutes. I took the train that arrived after 13:00.) After visiting the Naples National Museum, I visited the Royal Palace and other places. Day 2: Pompeii, Herculaneum First, I headed to Pompeii by the Vesuvian Circumferential Railway. It takes about 40 minutes from Piazza Garibaldi Station. Pompeii is crowded, so I recommend making a reservation in advance. I took the train that departed from Garibaldi Station after 8:00 am so that I would arrive with plenty of time to spare before the 9:00 am opening time. The most convenient station for sightseeing on the Vesuvian Circumferential Railway is Pompei Scavi - Villa Dei Misteri Station. Be careful not to confuse it with other stations. If you want to take your time sightseeing in Pompeii, you should plan on spending 5 hours. Even if you just want to take a quick look, it will take at least 3 hours. I used the Pompeii Plus ticket to see the Villa of the Mysteries and other places, so it took a long time. For lunch, I ate a sandwich I bought at the supermarket, then took the Vesuvian Circumferential Railway from Pompei Scavi - Villa Dei Misteri to Ercolano Scavi. Depending on the time of day, you may be able to go directly, or you may need to transfer. I returned to Pompei Scavi - Villa Dei Misteri after 2 p.m., but there was no direct train nearby, so I changed trains at Torre Annunziata and headed to Ercolano Scavi station. It's about a 20-minute walk from here to the Herculaneum ruins. I think it will take about an hour to sightsee here if you're quick, or about two hours if you take your time. Piazza Garibaldi station, which is directly connected to Naples Central Station, is about 20 minutes away by the Vesuvian Circumferential Railway from Ercolano Scavi station, so it's very close. Day 3: Amalfi, Positano I booked a tour that combined buses and ferries. As far as I could see, the cheapest tour you can go to is around 60 euros. I took the tour that departed at 8:20am and arrived in Naples at 5:30pm. After that, I had dinner and returned to Rome. [Recommended spots] 1. #Pompeii 2. #Ercolano 3. #Amalfi 4. #Positano [Recommended food] 1. Da Michele Address: Via Cesare Sersale, 1, 80139 Napoli The Margherita is especially good. Take-out is also available. 2. Antica Trattoria e Pizzeria da Donato Address: Via Silvio Spaventa, 39/41, 80142 Napoli A famous restaurant near Naples Central Station. Both the pizza and pasta are delicious. It's a very popular restaurant, so it's best to make a reservation. 3.Antica Trattoria Barracca Address: P.za dei Dogi, 12, 84011 Amalfi SA Conveniently located near the bus stop in Amalfi. The lemon-flavored ravioli and fried seafood are very delicious. The seafood is fresh and delicious. Recommended Hotel: Around Naples Central Station Best Western Hotel Dei Mille Hotel Address: Via Torino, 108, 80142 Napoli NA Great location for exploring around Naples Central Station. Accommodation costs are relatively low and the breakfast is delicious.

The Amalfi Coast 🇮🇹 What a magnificent place to visit! 😍 #positano and its very famous views, #amalfi and its wonderful lemons, the smallest town of #atrani, #ravello and its wonderful villas. What to say? Just a paradise. An expensive paradise, but still, a true paradise. I was lucky enough to stretch a little a pay a visit to #sorrento as well, just a little up the coast close to Naples and try some of the best #limoncello I’ve ever tried 😋 I made sure to buy a few bottles to bring back to Australia. If you are planning to stay a few days get ready to hop on the ferry and have some walking / hiking to do. Some of the most beautiful spots for pictures are high and you need to take quite a few steps. But the view is absolutely rewarding. Among all the little town I visited, Ravello is the one I liked the most. It is cute and quieter than the most popular towns. Loved the #amalficoast | Loved #italy

#EuropeGuide 1️⃣ Amalfi, Italy — A Mediterranean flower blooming on a cliff A town with emerald sea and colorful buildings stacked on top of each other! As you walk through the narrow alleys, you will see the sea and sky meet, and you can enjoy a glass of lemonade and relax. 2️⃣ Malta — An island country where the Middle Ages are alive and breathing in the Mediterranean Golden stone buildings, fortresses on the sea, quiet alleys, and cats… Valletta and Mdina give you the feeling of time travel. The colors created by the blue sea and yellow city are unforgettable. 3️⃣ Grindelwald, Switzerland — A fairytale town under the Alps Pastures and snow-capped mountains with Jungfrau in the background!

When you climb to the top observation deck and look down at the city of Paris, you will feel that this trip is complete! #European travel #Overseas travel

#springitinerary Spring is hands-down the best time to visit the Amalfi Coast. The cliffside villages bloom with bougainvillea, the sea sparkles a deep turquoise, and the roads are finally drivable without summer congestion. I stayed in Positano, where lemon trees perfumed the air and pastel houses glowed in the sun. Each morning, I sipped espresso with a sea view, then hiked the Path of the Gods through fragrant spring foliage. #springitinerary tip: ferries start running again in April — a scenic way to hop between towns. It’s romance, color, and calm before the summer rush.

#aprilblooms The Amalfi Coast is meant to be experienced from the open road. 🚗💨 From the winding, cliffside highways to the stunning panoramic views, every moment of this road trip feels like a scene from a movie. 🎬✨ As you drive along the coast, you’re greeted with breathtaking vistas — the vibrant towns perched on the cliffs, the deep blue of the Mediterranean, and the lush greenery that hugs the hillsides. Every turn brings a new view, more magical than the last, and the feeling of the sea breeze against your face makes it all the more special. 🌊💙 Stopping at spots like Ravello or Amalfi gives you a chance to immerse yourself in the beauty, but the real charm is in the journey itself. Serene beaches, hidden coves, and charming villages — the Amalfi Coast road trip is nothing short of epic. 🚙🌟 This is one of those trips that will leave you in awe with every mile. #AmalfiCoastRoadTrip #ScenicDrives #CoastalViews #ItalyRoadTrip #BreathtakingViews #Wanderlust

#aprilblooms The Jesus Statue on the Amalfi Coast is one of those breathtaking sights you just can’t forget. 🕊️🌊 Perched high above the stunning coastline, this majestic figure overlooks the crystal-clear Mediterranean waters and the charming villages below, creating a truly awe-inspiring scene. This iconic statue is not just a symbol of faith, but also a reminder of the beauty of the coast, offering panoramic views that take your breath away. Whether you’re exploring the narrow streets of Amalfi or relaxing by the sea, a visit to this peaceful spot brings a sense of serenity and perspective. 🌅✨ The way the sun hits the statue, casting a golden glow as it reflects off the ocean, is something you have to experience in person. It’s the perfect moment to pause, reflect, and soak in the beauty of both nature and history. #AmalfiCoast #JesusStatue #MediterraneanViews #CoastalBeauty #TravelWithFaith #ItalyExploration

#aprilblooms Somewhere along the winding roads of the Amalfi Coast, we pulled over just to breathe it in—the endless blue, the cliffs plunging into the sea, the air heavy with salt and calm. These unplanned stops often become the most unforgettable moments. No names, no landmarks—just the beauty of Italy revealing itself in silence. #AmalfiCoastViews #ItalianRoadtrip #SeasideSerenity #discoveritaly

Naples, Amalfi Coast, and Positano in southern Italy can enjoy the warm Mediterranean sunshine, and the towns and scenery along the coast are incredibly pretty! I think it's really romantic=Italy, and I think I felt it especially in the southern region. The sunlight felt on the streets, and people enjoying swimming and sunbathing on the beach without any worries, and the fantastic views and delicious food wherever you go really come to mind when life is tiring and hard. It's not an easy travel destination, but it's a travel destination you'll want to go to again after going once😄 When you want to go on a healing and recharged trip, how about going to southern Italy and leisurely enjoying the beach and driving along the coastal road? #MarchTravelSupportEvent #TravelPlan #OverseasTravel #EuropeTravel #Italy #ItalyTravel #PositanoTravel #AmalfiCoast

#celebrateit Celebrating a friend's birthday in Amalfi Coast which is one of Italy’s most pretty destinations that has beautiful coastal cliffs, aesthetic village and clear waters. Towns like Positano, Ravello & Amalfi are known for their colorful buildings, cramped streets which gives off breathtaking views.The coastal drive has one of the best panoramic sea view and it’s really serene and beautiful. This place is rich in history and culture and we loved the delicious fresh seafood and local foods.

#February travel support event On the way from Sorrento to Positano, Amalfi, and Matera. The scenery is spectacular, but driving is incredibly difficult. My family drove a Sportage Bota, a slightly smaller SUV, and it was so beautiful. The road is one lane each way, and it's winding like Daegwallyeong in Korea, with steep cliffs on the sides. Even veteran drivers are scared. Since coming to Italy, I've come to understand 'why Europe prefers compact cars.' Basically, the roads are too narrow, and most drivers are very violent? However, Positano was so beautiful that I barely managed to get to the observatory and took pictures. I was afraid of how people who drive here during peak season would get around since it was so nice during the off-season. I considered staying in Positano before making the reservation, but it was too expensive, so I organized my route and stayed in Sorrento. Anyway, Positano has a great view, but the accommodations are too expensive, and it’s difficult to eat on our route, so we go to Amalfi. The coastal scenery isn’t as good as Positano, but there’s a small beach and a cathedral worth seeing, so we look around. It’s impressive. I wanted to have lunch here, but the narrow coastal cliff road makes parking difficult, and if you take the wrong road, it’s difficult to make a U-turn. (There was a parking lot in Amalfi. It costs 3 euros for 1 hour in the off-season of January.) After looking around Amalfi and going to eat, I got my car out of the parking lot and on the way back, the parking at the restaurant I had decided on in advance was impossible, so I passed by without eating. Nevertheless, Positano and Amalfi are beautiful enough to visit at least once. The prices are really expensive (especially Positano), But it’s still worth passing by at least once.. #AmalfiCoastRoad #AmalfiCathedral #Positano

Yes it is possible to walk several towns from where I stayed about 4.5 km at Minori along the coastline on the road. 🚶🥾😅😁#walkingtour #beachlife #amalficoast #amalficliff #amalfidreams #walkingtrip Getting There - Tip .Walk towards the traffic in the opposite direction Stay close to the railing.as some motorcycles and buses may get close. Attractions - See several towns along the way. 😁 Walk past Minori, San Cosma, Castiglione, Atrani then Amalfi taking in the beautiful views while periodi cally stopping to take photos along the way 📸 It was a great walking tour.

The Amalfi Coast is a beautiful coastline in southern Italy. It has spectacular scenery, charming small towns and rich culture. Of course, I didn’t miss this beautiful place on this trip to Italy 🤍 In addition to the Road of the Gods introduced earlier, it also has some attractions worth visiting! The Amalfi Coast is built along stunning cliffs. It has many famous towns. Many people will stay here for a few days and enjoy a relaxing vacation🤍 But we didn’t have so much time, so we had to choose 2 small towns to visit🥲 We started from Naples, took a train to Salerno and then took a boat to the town of Amalfi. This small town features a historic cathedral and colorful buildings. It has a super delicious lemon dessert, so delicious that we immediately bought another one 😋 After walking around and taking photos in Amalfi, we took a bus to walk the Path of the Gods. There will be people selling bus tickets opposite the bus stop, but you cannot buy tickets on the bus. So, no one needs to worry about selling fake tickets🤣 In addition, there are so many people here, it's really like squeezing on a bus in India, it's very scary. Everyone should go to the bus stop early! The end point of the Road of the Gods is Positano. It is best known for its terraced buildings and romantic beaches, making it a popular spot for photo opportunities! The lemon ice cream there is super delicious😋 and also suitable for taking photos📷If you go there, I recommend you to try it! Although we spent a short time in the Amalfi Coast, we still liked it very much 🤍 Its biggest disadvantages are the inconvenient transportation and some famous towns are overcrowded. If I have a chance to come again next time, I hope to stay for a few days to relax and enjoy this place slowly! #SeptemberDestinations2024 #Italy #AmalfiCoast

#Natural scenery #Sea #Amalfi #Italy travel #100 travel styles The Amalfi Coast is a place that is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it. In particular, the view from the sea on a boat was truly overwhelming. Small towns perched on cliffs along the coastline spread out like a painting, and the emerald sea was so clear and transparent that just looking at it was healing. The secluded beaches and calm sea were in harmony, making me feel like I was in a scene from a movie. It was a really special experience because I could fully feel the nature here, along with the gentle sound of water coming from the sea. The Amalfi Sea was not just a tourist destination, but felt like a work of art in itself.

#Drive #CoastalRoad #AmalfiCoast #Italy #100TravelStyles There are two ways to get to Positano, Italy. One is to take a boat and the other is to drive along the coastal road. I chose the coastal road because I wanted to drive. The reason people choose the coastal road is because they can see beautiful Italian beaches all the way. The spectacular scenery of the Amalfi Coast along the road was much more beautiful than what I had seen in pictures. The deep blue scenery where the sea and the sky seemed to meet continued, so I couldn't take my eyes off it the whole drive. The road is winding, but thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the scenery from various angles, and the exotic atmosphere was added as the small towns of Positano were visible here and there. Since Positano itself is so beautiful, I stopped the car here and there and enjoyed the view of Positano from the coastal cliffs~
