This celebrated cliff-top city, the traditional gateway to the Amalfi Coast, offers fine sightseeing in the old town and stone staircases that lead to the sea.
Amalfi
From its striped 13th-century Duomo to its bustling piazza and narrow streets that snake into the hills, Amalfi is one of the most atmospheric towns on earth.
Positano
In this upscale, tightly packed village centered around the stunning 13th-century Church of Santa Maria Assunta, charming lanes twist and turn past colorful apparel shops and lead down to the town's two pebbly beaches and beachside restaurants. See our Positano Travel Guide
Ravello
Tiny Ravello, over 1,000 feet above the sea, lures celebs and regular folk alike to marvel at spectacular views, browse numerous pottery shops, and walk among lush gardens and villas.
Capri
The international jet-set gathers in the Piazzetta of this breathtaking island, but don't feel you have to squander your savings or wear gigantic sunglasses at night to enjoy the scenery and wonderful walks for which Capri is known.
Ischia
Larger and less glitzy than its sister Capri, Ischia boasts sandy beaches (rare on the Amalfi Coast) and similar knockout views. Thermal waters and mineral springs have given rise to a flourishing spa culture.
