About Amalfi
Tucked away amongst the rugged cliffs and aquamarine waves of the Tyrrhenian Sea is the beautiful gem of Amalfi, one of the 13 picturesque towns of the Amalfi Coast. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Amalfi Coast is one of the world’s most scenic coastlines. From gorgeous panoramic views to ample history and culture and quintessential Italian cuisine, Amalfi offers a rich slice of South Italy to experience.
Amalfi is the most historic town on the Amalfi Coast, having been an influential Medieval maritime republic. Wandering the sun-kissed streets, you will discover the influence history has had on the town’s architecture, with a maze of narrow streets, hidden courtyards, and steep staircases for you to explore, a strategic design to protect its citizens from invasion. History radiates further from the medieval masterpiece that is St. Andrews Cathedral, which sits proudly in Amalfi’s historical heart.
Stroll the streets, and your senses will be enlightened. Italian charm oozes from its classic pastel buildings and the many restaurants, cafes, and artisanal shops lining the streets, with scents of lemon and freshly cooked seafood in the air. Here, you can taste Italian classics such as spaghetti al limone, enriched with Amalfi lemons, while watching the world go by.
At the water’s edge, you will feel the relaxed atmosphere from the locals and tourists alike soaking up the sun along the promenade that offers stunning sea views. As the sun begins to set, the town illuminates in romantic sparkling lights, views best enjoyed with a limoncello while the sun sets on the jewel of the Amalfi Coast.

How to get from Naples to Amalfi
Deciding how to get from Naples to Amalfi is a key part of planning your trip to the heavenly Amalfi Coast. While many transportation options are available, a private car service is ultimately the best option as it allows you to enjoy the scenic route to the fullest and is the most convenient, comfortable, and customizable option.
From Naples to Amalfi by car
The drive from Naples to Amalfi is around 39 miles (62 km) and takes approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, although this can vary depending on traffic. While convenient, driving a rental car around the Amalfi Coast can be difficult and stressful with narrow winding roads to maneuver and expensive and limited parking. There are also driving restrictions limiting when you can drive based on your license plate.
From Naples to Amalfi by train and bus
You have to take the train from Naples train station to Sorrento and then a bus from Sorrento to Amalfi. If you are coming from the Naples International Airport, there is a bus from the parking lot to Sorrento, which makes the trip at least a little easier. While the tickets cost less than a private transfer, public transport is slow as you must transfer to a bus from the train station. The trains and buses get crowded, especially in summer, and you have the added inconvenience of luggage handling, so weigh how much you value cost over convenience.

Things to do when you get to Amalfi
Arriving in Amalfi, you will be greeted with spectacular views of the historic town and turquoise sea, a wealth of history and culture, and the sweet scent of lemons in the air.

Stroll along the promenade, taking in the views at your leisure while enjoying a gelato. Step foot on the beach to relax to the calming sounds of the waves or swim in the pristine blue waters.
Then, enter the historic heart of Amalfi through the Porta della Marina gateway, where you will find the charming Piazza del Duomo, Amalfi’s main square, bustling with life. Admire Saint Andrew’s Fountain, adorned with the sculptures of Amalfi’s patron saint standing amongst cherubs and angels.
