Just make sure you score some awesome Amalfi Coast package deals on your way out the door!

Things to Do in Amalfi Coast

Since the nearest airport is located east of the city of Salerno, start your Amalfi Coast holiday right there and work your way west. To make your whirlwind village tour even breezier, pick up one of our Amalfi Coast car hire options and roll the windows down. Stop at the Giardino della Minerva east of the downtown Salerno area to chill out in a gorgeous medieval garden, which happens to be a short walk to the 12th-century Duomo di Salerno. Next up, visit the village of Amalfi, home to the Cloister of Paradise—built during the 13th century, this peaceful retreat keeps looking fabulous. To take advantage if the gorgeous cliff-lined coast, explore Positano on foot or with flippers. This harbour village has a lively waterfront district and old-school beach town vibes—perfect for lazing away the day on the signature black sand. To lift your adventure to the next level—or at least above sea-level—take the 1 ½-hour drive northwest to Mount Vesuvius. Yeah, it’s a live volcano, but excitement is what Amalfi Coast holidays are all about!

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

As you’re driving along the coast, make sure you have a bag for all the treasures you pick up along the way. Once you’re west of Salerno, the first village you reach—Vietri sul Mare—is known for its handmade ceramics. Treat yo’self to some fine leather goods in Positano, and pile on the bling and fine art in Sorrento, northeast of Positano.

Hungry? Chow down on pizza and pasta with a uniquely coastal flair. Spin some spaghetti on your fork with freshly caught seafood and a platter of caprese salad—made for sharing, but whatever. Gelato is also as easy to find as sand in this beachy region. How perfect is dipping into the frozen treat while you work on your tan? That’s a silly question.

The Amalfi coast rocks out to an easygoing beat—think waves on the rocks, actually. You can find the pub and dance club scene in larger villages like Positano and Praiano, but in the smaller villages, homemade lemoncello and good conversation are all you need to have a great time with the locals.
