Practical tips

💡
Confirm your departure point

Naples has several stations and stops, so check the exact departure point on your ticket before leaving your hotel. Going to the wrong one is the most common mistake and can make you miss the bus.

💡
Book ahead in high season

In summer, buses towards the Amalfi Coast fill up quickly. Booking online gives you instant confirmation and avoids waiting at the stop hoping for a free seat, or paying more at the last minute.

💡
Travel light on winding roads

Luggage space on coach services is often limited and the road is full of bends. A small bag is easier to store and more comfortable, and a pill for motion sickness can help if you are sensitive.

💡
Plan your return before you go

Services thin out in the evening, and you do not want to be stuck in the hills. Note the last departure back to Naples, and keep a comfortable margin so a delay does not leave you stranded.

💡
Don't expect a train to Ravello

Ravello is a hilltop village away from the sea, so plan around road transport and check the page for the options available. Compare the choices before paying more than you need to for convenience.

The journey experience

Getting from Naples to Ravello is a trip that rewards a little planning, and the good news is that the answer is simple: the bus is the option to look at. Ravello sits high above the Amalfi Coast, away from the seafront, so you are heading into the hills rather than to a port. Here you can see at a glance how the journey works, then compare it side by side in the table on this page.

The journey is made by road, on a coach-style service that takes the coastal and hill roads towards the Amalfi area. It is a comfortable way to travel for an independent traveller without a car: you sit back, watch the scenery change, and arrive close to the centre of the village. Seats can fill up in high season, and the winding roads mean you should not plan a tight connection afterwards. Luggage space is usually limited, so travelling light helps.

Your best move is to check the departure point before you leave, since Naples has several stations and stops, and going to the wrong one is the classic mistake. Book ahead in summer so you are not stuck waiting for a full bus, and keep a margin in your day for the return. Once you have the right stop and a confirmed ticket, this trip is easy, and Ravello is well worth the effort.

What to do in Ravello?

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

MUST-SEE
🏛️
Villa Rufolo and its gardens
This 13th-century villa inspired Wagner and overlooks the coast from its terraced gardens. Entry is about 8€. Arrive at opening or late afternoon to avoid tour groups and harsh light. The terrace view is the classic Amalfi Coast photo, so bring a charged phone.
🌺
Villa Cimbrone and Terrace of Infinity
Reached by a 10-minute uphill walk from the square, this estate has a famous belvedere lined with marble busts, hanging over the sea 350 metres below. Entry is about 10€. Go late afternoon for softer light and fewer visitors, and wear comfortable shoes.
⛪
Ravello Cathedral and bronze doors
Founded in 1086 and dedicated to San Pantaleone, the cathedral on Piazza Duomo holds a Romanesque pulpit with mosaics and a bronze door from 1179. Entry to the nave is free, the small museum costs a few euros. Check the saint's blood relic story, tied to a miracle each July 27.
🎶
Ravello Festival concert
Classical concerts have been held here since 1953, with the stage perched over the sea at Villa Rufolo. The main season runs in summer, with tickets from roughly 30€. Book weeks ahead and check the programme, as dates vary and some events take place in other seasons.
🥾
Walk to Scala via Valle del Dragone
The old mule path to Scala climbs through lemon terraces and woods, taking about 1 hour 15 minutes one way, and it's free. The way is signposted and includes many steps. Start in the morning, carry water, and return by bus (about 2€) if tired.
🍋
Lemon terraces and limoncello tasting
Local producers around Ravello grow sfusato amalfitano lemons on steep terraces. Many farms offer short visits with a tasting, usually 10–20€ depending on the format. Book ahead in high season, and buy a bottle directly from the producer for better quality than shop souvenirs.
🍝
Handmade scialatielli at a trattoria
Scialatielli, thick fresh pasta typical of the coast, is often served with seafood or zucchini and provolone. Eat in the side streets away from Piazza Duomo, where a pasta dish costs about 12–16€. Lunch is better value than dinner and booking is wise on weekends.
🌅
Sunset at Auditorium Niemeyer
Designed by Oscar Niemeyer, this white curved auditorium sits just off the main square and is far less visited than the villas. The exterior and surrounding terrace can be seen for free. Stop by around sunset for views over the valley, then continue to a nearby bar for an aperitivo.

How long to visit Ravello?

1 to 2 days

Ravello deserves 1 to 2 days. In one day, visit Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone, walk the village and enjoy the views over the Amalfi Coast. With a second day, hike the Path of the Gods or the Valle delle Ferriere trail down to Amalfi or Atrani. Stay overnight if you can: once the day-trippers leave, the village is much calmer.
