From Positano: Amalfi and Ravello Private Day Trip – Positano, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

Visit Amalfi and Ravello on a tour around the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Amalfi Coast. After taking the beautiful coastal road from Positano, enjoy some time to tread the cobbles around the ancient maritime capital of Amalfi. Perhaps check out the cathedral or the handmade paper museum, then visit the hilltop village of Ravello to soak up the terrace views from Villa Rufolo. Entrance fees are at your own expense.

The route is spectacular and the coastal road lends itself to some of the finest views in the region. Gaze out against the cobalt sea, and look out for the colorful villages of Furore, Conca dei Marini, and Praiano as you travel around the cliffs. In Amalfi town, enjoy free time to explore. Visit the Cloister of Paradise or the Cathedral of St. Andrew with its eye-catching sculpture and ceiling paintings by Andrea dell’Asta. If you’re a lover of artisan traditions, then check out the Paper Museum. Entrance is at your own expense, but its artifacts of paper-making—a long-established Amalfi tradition—make the admission worthwhile.

In the afternoon, travel into the hills to reach the village of Ravello, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the 13th-century Villa Rufolo with its vibrant gardens and commanding terrace views, and learn how the site provided inspiration for Wagner’s Parsifal opera.

Return to your driver at the agreed time, and travel back to Positano, where your day trip ends.
