Our guide to the Amalfi Coast
-
Flair
Colorful cliffside villages, crystal-clear water, and a serious dose of Italian glamour — the Amalfi Coast is every bit as dramatic as it looks.
-
Best time to visit
May, June, and September hit the sweet spot — great weather without the brutal summer heat and peak-season crowds.
-
How long to stay
Plan for four to six days to explore the coastal towns properly, plus a day trip to Capri if you can swing it.
-
Price level
Expect to spend more here than almost anywhere else in southern Italy — accommodations and parking especially will hit your wallet hard.
-
Food
Fresh pasta with seafood, wood-fired fish, and a cold glass of local limoncello — the food here is seriously good.
-
Getting around
Take the ferry whenever you can — it's the most relaxed way to get between towns and skips the notoriously jammed coastal road entirely.
