Practical tips

💡
Book ahead in high season

Summer buses to the Amalfi Coast fill up quickly. Booking online in advance secures your seat, avoids paying more at the last minute and removes the risk of waiting at a stop with no space left.

💡
Check the departure point

Naples has several stations and stops, so read your ticket carefully and confirm exactly where the coach leaves from. Arriving at the wrong place is the most common way to miss this trip.

💡
Sit on the sea side

The best views of the coast appear on one side of the road. If seats are not assigned, board early and choose the sea side, and keep a light bag handy for the winding road.

💡
Avoid the last departure

Do not rely on the final bus of the day. If it is full or delayed, you may be stranded. Leave earlier, especially if you have an onward connection or a hotel check-in deadline.

💡
Travel light on winding roads

Coastal roads are narrow and the stops can be busy. Keep your valuables with you, label your luggage in the hold and have your ticket ready on your phone before boarding.

The journey experience

Naples to Amalfi is one of those trips where the usual Italian question — train or coach? — answers itself. The Amalfi Coast has no railway, so you are choosing between a road journey and, in season, a boat. For this route the bus is the verified, straightforward option, and it gives you a clear, no-stress way to plan your day.

The coach runs along the Sorrento Peninsula and then follows the famous coastal road, with sea views on one side for much of the ride. Seats are usually comfortable, with air conditioning and luggage space below, which suits independent travellers carrying a backpack or a suitcase. It reaches the town centre directly, so you skip the changes of train and shuttle you might expect elsewhere. Sit on the sea side if you can, as the scenery is a big part of the trip.

Your main worry is probably ending up at the wrong stop or being stuck when a bus is full. Check the departure point on your ticket before you leave Naples, since the city has several stations and stops. Book ahead in high season, avoid the last departure of the day, and keep a little flexibility. Book online for instant confirmation, then enjoy the coast without second-guessing your plan.

What to do in Amalfi?

Local experiences, must-see sights and activities selected for you

MUST-SEE
⛪
Amalfi Cathedral and Cloister
The 9th-century Duomo di Sant'Andrea, with its striped façade and bronze doors from Constantinople, dominates the main square. Combine the cathedral, Cloister of Paradise and crypt on one ticket (about 3€). Arrive before 10:00 or after 17:00 to avoid cruise and tour groups; shoulders and knees must be covered.
📜
Museo della Carta Paper Museum
Housed in a 13th-century paper mill in the Valle dei Mulini, this museum explains how Amalfi became a European paper-making pioneer. Tours include a live demonstration with original hydraulic machinery. Entry is around 5€; allow 45 minutes. Buy handmade bambagia paper in the shop as an authentic, lightweight souvenir.
🍋
Lemon Granita and Limoncello Tasting
Amalfi's lemons, the sfusato amalfitano, hold protected IGP status. Try a fresh lemon granita from a street kiosk (about 3€) or taste limoncello at a family-run producer. Check that the label states IGP origin, as many shops sell imported lemons. Best enjoyed in the afternoon heat.
🛥️
Ferry to Positano and Capri
Seeing the coast from the water is the best way to appreciate the cliffs. Ferries leave from the Amalfi pier, April to October: Positano costs roughly 9€ one way, Capri about 22€. Buy tickets at the pier kiosk, check the last return departure, and sit on the right side outbound for the best views.
⛰️
Path of the Gods Hike
This 7.8 km trail from Bomerano to Nocelle follows the clifftops 500 m above the sea. Count 3 to 4 hours. Take the SITA bus from Amalfi to Bomerano (about 2,50€) and start early to avoid heat. Bring water and sturdy shoes; there are no fountains along the route.
🌿
Valle delle Ferriere Nature Reserve
A 45-minute climb from Pontone leads to a lush valley with ancient ironworks ruins, rare ferns and a waterfall pool for a cool swim. Take around 400 steps from Amalfi to Pontone, then follow the marked path. Wear water shoes, as the stream crossings are slippery. Free entry.
🍝
Scialatielli ai Frutti di Mare
Scialatielli, thick fresh pasta typical of the coast, is served with clams and mussels in small trattorias away from the main piazza. Expect 14 to 18€ for a plate. Walk two streets uphill from the cathedral to find better prices and local clientele, and book dinner ahead in summer.
🌅
Sunset at Grotta dello Smeraldo
Located in Conca dei Marini, 5 km east, this sea cave glows emerald from sunlight filtering underwater. Reach it by SITA bus and a lift (about 2€) or by boat from Amalfi. Entry with rowboat costs roughly 8€. Visit around midday for the best colours, and avoid rough-sea days when it closes.

How long to visit Amalfi?

2 to 3 days

Amalfi itself can be seen in half a day: the cathedral, the Cloister of Paradise and the old town lanes. Plan 2 to 3 days to use it as a base for Ravello, Atrani, the Path of the Gods and a boat trip to Positano. Avoid driving: use the SITA bus or ferries, and book your accommodation well ahead for May to September.
