About Amalfi

Once you have made the journey from Siena to Amalfi, you will be surrounded by dramatic natural beauty in this cliffside town, set into a deep ravine and acting as the heart of the Amalfi Coast. For centuries, this town dominated as a maritime republic, lending the architecture and artwork of Amalfi its historical significance. The town’s Roman heritage can also still be seen in the presence of numerous ruins, some of which date back to Emperor Tiberius.

The town boasts a great scientific heritage, claiming inventions such as the nautical compass, crafted by Flavio Gioia. There are also numerous museums and artistic displays dedicated to the history of papermaking. A handcrafted paper product called bambagina formed a great deal of the town’s artistic identity, and you can still purchase crafts made using the technique today.

Millions of people flock to Amalfi each year to enjoy the dazzling scenery, coastal charm, and world-renowned fresh seafood. The area has been nicknamed the “Divine Coast” (or Divina Costiera in Italian) for its intricate history and scenic surroundings. Unesco considers the area a prime example of a Mediterranean landscape, with its lush greenery, stark cliff faces, and crystalline turquoise waters below.

The town’s most recognizable landmark is its cathedral, towering over the main piazza with a colorful facade and impressive bell tower. It’s worth a look inside too, to witness the intricate Baroque murals. Amalfi offers a fascinating blend of rich cultural sites and a relaxing coastal lifestyle, making it the perfect destination for any visitor to Italy.

From Siena to Amalfi: travel tips

A few pro tips will greatly elevate your travel experience ahead of your trip from Siena to Amalfi.

Dine al fresco

The jaw-dropping surroundings of Amalfi make it the ideal place to enjoy your meals al fresco (outdoors). There are many sun-soaked terraces to choose from, some offering partial shade for those less used to the high UV in the peak travel season. For a taste of the freshest seafood right on the waterfront, just a stone’s throw from the historical town center, check out the famous Lido Azzurro Ristorante.

Choose a private transfer

Using a private transportation service for your journey from Siena to Amalfi will give you the best balance of convenience and efficiency. It will also allow you to break up the long trip with sightseeing in parts of Italy you might otherwise miss out on. You’ll also receive door-to-door transportation with a friendly English-speaking driver who can give you a bit of local insight on the way, providing you with the warmest welcome to Amalfi possible.

How to get from Siena to Amalfi

You have a few options for your Siena to Amalfi transfer, all of which vary in cost and travel time. The best option for many people is to opt for private transportation, as the bulk of the most common public transport routes are not direct and will involve transfers en route.

Train from Siena to Amalfi

The fastest train route from Siena to Amalfi takes a little over 7 hours and involves one transfer partway through the journey to a new train in Florence (S.M.N station.) You will also need to take a 20+ minute taxi from the train’s termination in Salerno to reach your intended destination in Amalfi. The whole journey can range between $77 and $188 (€72-€176), depending on how far in advance you book the trains and how expensive your chosen taxi route is.

Bus from Siena to Amalfi

The most popular bus routes from Siena leave from the Central Train Station and involve 2 transfers, first in Naples at the Napoli P.Zza Garibaldi station and later at the Naples airport, before you will be bound for Amalfi. This route, on average, takes 8.5 hours but is more affordable than the train, with tickets costing around $26 to $38 (€24-€35.50). There are also bus routes that go via Rome, which

Private transfer from Siena to Amalfi

The fastest option for your trip from Siena to Amalfi is a private driving transfer with Daytrip, which will take just 5 hours and 20 minutes and starts at $160 (€149) per person. This is a great choice for families, those with lots of luggage they may need assistance with or for travelers on tighter time constraints. You will also benefit from direct door-to-door service without the need to navigate to and from public transport stations even before your trip can begin.

Things to do when you get to Amalfi

Once settled in after your Siena to Amalfi transfer, you are surrounded by some of the best of the Amalfi Coast. You can immerse yourself in the history and culture of the region in the many museums and feats of architecture or spend your time enjoying the Mediterranean climate along the shore at one of the many pebbled beaches.

Learn at the Museo della Carta

This is Amalfi’s paper museum, dedicated to walking guests through the ancient production techniques in a cave-like structure that acted as a paper mill in the 13th century. The original paper presses have been carefully preserved, and guided tours even let you try your hand at making paper using more modern techniques. This craft is an important staple of Amalfi’s identity, and it is well worth taking the opportunity to learn more about the artful process.

Visit the Duomo di Amalfi

The iconic Amalfi cathedral (called the Duomo), built in the 9th century, is an incredible example of the power the region used to hold. Its elaborate blend of architectural styles and distinctive, interlacing arched stairway is a testament to the decadence of the time. This is a must-see feature of Amalfi during your visit.

Explore nearby Atrani

This tiny town hoisted atop arched bridges is a stunning feature of the Amalfi Coast and makes a great day trip from Amalfi. Less busy than Amalfi, this town offers fine dining on lemon-forward dishes and local wines as well as quiet, romantic days spent strolling along the shore. The views here are debatably the best on the Amalfi coast and offers many excellent photo opportunities for those keen on capturing Southern Italy’s beauty.

Spend time on the water

While in Amalfi, it is essential to make the most of your time by the shore with some of the area’s most pristine beaches. Visit the nearby Marina Grande or Lido delle Sirene, both within walking distance from the town center. Or, take a short boat ride to the remarkable Santa Croce! Many tour companies also offer snorkeling adventures from these areas or boat tours of the entire Amalfi coast (consider a sunset tour for enchanting views from the water!)

When is the best time to visit Amalfi?

While planning your trip from Siena to Amalfi, you may wonder about the best time to visit. As with much of Italy, the summer months in Amalfi are very hot (around 86°F/30°C) and can become crowded with the 5-million-plus visitors the area receives each year. To avoid the peak tourism season, consider a spring or autumn visit from April to May or September to October.

In spring, the area bursts into colorful blooms, and there is still ample sunshine to enjoy by the waterside. In the autumn, mild temperatures and good deals on accommodation and activities make Amalfi a delight for any traveler.

It was a fantastic trip.

“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”

Daytrip never disappoints

“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”
