Amalfi Coast Highlights – Day Trip from Rome

The pristine Amalfi coastline ranks among Italy’s most popular destinations, and for good reason. The little villages, the seaside views, and the lemon groves all provide a completely unique experience, and you’ll pass through each serene sight on your drive through this special piece of Italian countryside. Over the course of 8 hours, you’ll visit each of the three major villages on the Amalfi coast.

Amalfi is the namesake of the region, offering unique architecture and quality food that makes it incredibly popular with tourists looking for a taste of Italian excellence. This town was a particular favorite of British aristocracy during the 1920s and 30s – and looking at the surrounding high-flung cliffs and picturesque views of the deep blue sea, it’s easy to see why. The town also has an exquisite cathedral all its own, its majestic exterior depicted in historical paintings.

Ravello is a hub for art and artists, hosting the Ravello Festival in the summer months as a grand celebration. With verdant trees and high views of the sea, you can take in the wonderful natural beauty of Italy in a way only Ravello can offer. Ravello is legendary for its seaside views, so much so that several historic villas were designed with lavish terraces specifically to gaze at the town’s natural beauty.

The vertical village of Positano offers views of its own, from a whole different perspective. It has served as a resort town since the Roman era, and that experience shines brightly through its many attractions. The town boasts a Roman Archeological Museum, an iconic beach circled by cliffside architecture on all sides, and an incredible natural landscape. Experience Positano’s history and local legends, surrounded by sights and sounds that inspired legendary poetry
