Amalfi Coast: The Don'ts of Visiting the Amalfi Coast

Good info. Do you have any advice about taking boat tours down the coast?

Thinking it might be best just to stay in one location, like Positano, and hire a guide to take us on day trips?

Really cool info, thanks indeed, and supernice of you❤

Excellent tips.

driving the coast is challenging , prices are not cheap , stay in naples or somewhere else, then day trip to amalfi coast , ferry from sorrento > positano doesnt go at night only day

We were there in early October irs was crazy busy!!

If you want a mega cheap version go to broadstairs Kent its stunningly beautiful looks like mini positano theres even Italian restaurants lol and the sand is golden not grey beach, its is free :)

Rented a Vespa. There was no way we were going to sit on those buses on a winding road .

I saw on luggage only instagram you can take trains too to those towns.

Love the energy of the video, straight forward and full of great information! This makes where I want to go in Italy harder

U r great ,so helpful

Excellent video - thanks for posting- great advice

In the nutshell, your message is don't go. I avoided it and Europe in general in summer. 2023 is the worst heatwave. Too many Americans, too. I found Ulcinj, Montenegro is the third Amarfi, after Tropea, Italy. Still many bathers. The beaches are like public baths. That's European beaches.

...he just discovered hot water....i am italian and i only agree on those places being very expensive, but they are amazing places....i prefer the islands, and i find sorrento too crowded....also rent a car...do not get a driver as most will rip you off and pretend a tip at the end....about the food?....fish of course...but avoid places in the city centre, they are tourists traps, google it, read the reviews...and pls do not miss Ravello❤

Myself and my husband are doing a road trip around Italy in October so will have the car, won’t have a choice but to drive about. Luckily my husband is a good driver, I’d probably cry lol can’t wait to visit!

As a sober person I won't take a lemon shot even if it's considered rude.

Very helpful advice

How far in advance should you try to book dinner reservations? We are heading there in mid-September for our honeymoon and I’m wondering if calling day of is appropriate or should I try to book before we leave? Thanks so much for the insight!

I was in Amalfi a couple of months back, and my goodness, rarely do I want to return to a destination, because I always want to experience something new, but the Amalfi Coast is somewhere I would 100% return to.

My girlfriend and I spent 3 days in Naples, and 2 down by the coast, and we were disappointed by how filthy and dangerous Naples felt, amd how rude the locals were. But when we got down to the Amalfi Coast, we were starstruck. We stayed in Maiori, just 2 towns away, and it was much cheaper, much quieter, and just as beautiful as the actual Amalfi Coast. We spent a day down in Amalfi-Amalfi, and it is exactly what we expected our Naples trip to be.

I cannot wait to return, but in the future, I think we will skip the city of Naples, and just get the train straight down to the coast.

Facts!

Cheers am going next March

How to visit this place with knee problems if you need to take all those stairs 😅😅?

Bud, your videos are all very good thank you. This is one of the places i want to go. Now question is the small roads the same as Greece's small roads when theres not enough room one side with the least amount of cars have to back up and let the larger line through. Also can you take the ferry in and just get a cab or whatever at night back

Hey I'm coming for Christmas. You think that'll be ok climate and weather wise? Thanks 👍

I recommend avoiding completely in August. Not only will you be there there will be Italian tourists and other European tourists. Many many European tourists vacation in August especially Italians. I speak from experience 😊

I am going to the Amalfi coast in September and after seeing more videos like this, I'm contemplating hiring a driver for the day instead of taking the bus. Does anyone have any advice on how to go about hiring one?

Man... The next best thing to traveling abroad is watching your videos and day-dreaming about that next trip! Thank you!

And avoid ordering pineapple pizza because they don't joke about pizza here! 😂😂😂

How can I have your job? I want your job.

Funny how the host is talking about wearing a hat and his bald head is burning in the sun 🌞

Some people keep saying that there aren’t any actual Italians in Positano. Well, who lives there then? Foreigners?

Whoa! Top of my bucket list! One of these days…As always, thank you for sharing 🎉🍾🥂🍹

I have found driving to be pretty easy. I have been to the Amalfi Coast multiple times and never had an issue. You just need to be a confident driver.

This is great video and thanks for sharing the tips. Do you think 5 days are enough to explore Amalfi Coast? Day-1: Capri, Day-2: Positano, Day-3 Positano Day-4: Boat tour of Amalfi Coast, Day-5: Amalfi, Ravello, Atrani. We are travelling with 2 small kids age 2 and 5. Please advise.

Thank you so much.

Awesome! We decided to stay in Sorrento (mainly bc I lived in NYC for 15 years and didnt want to stay in Naples)

My don’t for the Amalfi coast is have to go to the hospital. I had a very severe allergic reaction while there and it was difficult getting to the nearest hospital due to the small winding coastal road and heavy traffic. But then again, it’s a beautiful place to have to visit the hospital and the doctors are great!

Great tips

We stayed in Praiano on our honeymoon, and it was beautiful! Also, if you’re a pretty active person, maybe hike up Vesuvius while in Pompeii. It was hard, but the view/experience was worth it!!

I have never thrown up in my whole life

Don't puke on the bus, why do ya call it the vomit bus ?

Great tips and reminders for fellow travelers in this video. 👍👍👍

Ignore the "dont drive" i hired a Fiat 500 last week for 4 days. The driving was UNBELIEVABLE the sights were breathtaking. We found parking simple as well so overall i highly recommend you drive. We stayed in Sorrento, the drive to Amalfi was around 1 hour 45 mins. Public transport is to be avoided!! personally because the buses were over crowded & people push to get on the buses.

Luckily I hate travelling during summer months. I want to travel only when it's as cold as possible.

Going on my honeymoon and staying in Positano and Ravello. Hired a driver for a lot for the trip lol And Also being a ancient Rome geek a little visiting Pompeii and hiking Mt Vesuvius. Bunch of day trips all around, ferry to Capri, sorrento, amalfi etc. So excited!

Yes i went to Pompey it was amazing
