4 Day Amalfi Coast Tour From Rome. Are you looking for a 1, 2, 3 or 4 day trip to the Amalfi Coast from Rome? If so, check out our day-to-day travel tips, because through the winding curves of the SS163 road, you can get to know the best of the Amalfi Coast!
Amalfi
Symbol of Italy’s most famous coast, Amalfi is Italy’s oldest maritime republic, where many trade relations took place with other ancient Mediterranean cities. It was also here that the maritime compass was created, transforming navigation. The decline of the old republic began in 1137 when the army was defeated by the Republic of Pisa.
Amalfi is also a great place to get lost in the streets and enjoy the shops and restaurants. The beach has a small public space and a private one for the beachfront restaurants. Amalfi doesn’t have many attractions to visit, however, what I recommend you do is:
- walk on the pier;
- admire the beach at marina grande;
- enjoy the majestic Duomo di Amalfi;
- explore the main street Via Lorenzo d’Amalfi;
- imagine the past with the Porta della Marina tile map;
- know how paper was made in the old days at the Museo della Carta
Sorrento
Start your tour at Piazza Lauro, the most modern square in Sorrento, and from there follow Corso Italia until you reach Piazza Tasso, the main square in Sorrento.
Take the opportunity to admire this beautiful square or stop for a coffee and then take a small detour and go up a few meters on Viale Enrico Caruso and admire the panorama of Vallone dei Mulini, the Vale dos Moinhos.
Know that Piazza Tasso was built in a part of this valley that lies between the Sorrento hills and the sea and to confirm this statement just take a look at the ruins of the mill on the carpentry side of the valley.
From Piazza Tasso continue walking along Corso Italia, the street of shops and movement in Sorrento and on this street you will find Sorrento Cathedral, which is well worth a visit.
Keep walking to the end of the street and then go back to the center exploring the alleys of the city, without a certain route, just enjoying the atmosphere of the place.
Then, follow Via San Cesareo, an old street from the time of the urban plan created by the Decumanians and ahead you will arrive at Sedil Dominova, the former meeting point of the city’s nobles and today headquarters of the Società di Mutuo Soccorso.
As soon as you get there you can start going down Via Reginaldo Giuliani and you will arrive at the entrance of Villa Comunale with the Church of San Francisco on your right. It is really worth visiting the 1300’s cloister, where photographic exhibitions usually take place.
Leaving the cloister, take a tour of Villa Comunale with the famous click with the Costa Sorrentina and the volcano Vesuvius in the background. Then you can walk down to the port, where the Marina beach clubs are located, or you can take the elevator there.
We recommend that you continue the tour to Piazza Vittoria, another place with an incredible panoramic view, and follow the street that leads to the fishing village of Marina Grande, a perfect place to
Marina Grande is the perfect place to have lunch. There are many restaurants by the sea, all specializing in Italian food based on fish and seafood.
If you are planning to spend the whole day in Sorrento, head to the beautiful beaches in the region, but know that the most beautiful ones with the clearest sea are outside the center, but with a little effort it is possible to visit paradisiacal places. The best options for a day trip are:
Marina Piccola Beach in Sorrento – To get there, take an elevator from Villa Comunale, on the outskirts of the Church of San Francisco, there is an elevator. An alternative is to walk down the stairs from Piazza Tasso.
Marina Grande beach in Sorrento – It is possible to reach it on foot from Piazza Vittoria.
Positano
The city of Positano is one of the most peculiar and beautiful in the world and draws attention for having been built in a waterfall on a slope, facing the sea.
Positano seems to be lost in the middle of the mountains and is quite small, but it holds many surprises for its visitors. Its color is overwhelming, even for those who have visited this paradise before.
In 1268, when it was sacked by the Pisans, it completely changed its urban form, favoring a defensive aspect, similar to Amalfi, with narrow streets, houses on top of rocks, forts and watchtowers, in the good Roman style.
In the 18th century, a period of splendor began thanks to the port and the traffic of goods, but after the unification of Italy and with the new trade routes, a new phase of decline began, to the point that the city became a poor fishing village. who began to emigrate en masse to the United States.
Ironically, today, Positano attracts thousands of well-heeled tourists from all over the world, who come to admire the colorful majolica dome of the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, which dominates the horizon no matter where you are.
Having the right itinerary in Positano is not a good idea, because the real fun is getting lost in the charming alleys and somehow finding your way 🙂
But, don’t leave out of the itinerary a stroll through Sponda, surrounded by small and attractive streets, where you can find several beach items, the flat sandals typical of the place and, of course, Limoncello, the typical lemon liqueur of the region.
Go down the path to Praia Grande, which represents the heart of this fishing village and which, at almost 300 meters in length, is one of the largest on the Amalfi Coast, as well as being one of the most popular, frequented by artists, actors and the richest people. of the world.
On the way, be sure to stop by the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, which inside features the image of the Madonna Nera from the 18th century, of Byzantine inspiration.
If you’re spending the day in Positano, don’t miss the Caminho dos Apaixonados, a romantic and beautiful trail between the sea and the mountains that runs from the boat pier at Praia Grande to the small beaches of Fornillo.
Praia de Fornillo is the perfect place for those who prefer a quieter and quieter beach than Marina Grande and to get there you can also choose to take the Sita bus and, in summer, also transfer via sea from the main shipping companies.
