Amalfi
Seven Cultured Days in Amalfi’s Historic Heart
Sea, stone, art, and lemon-scented elegance
Planning a trip to Amalfi?
This 7-day Amalfi itinerary balances the town’s maritime history, religious landmarks, paper-making heritage, and elevated dining with easy-paced coastal time. It keeps you mostly in walkable clusters around Amalfi, Atrani, Ravello, and Maiori/Minori, with comfortable transitions and a premium feel throughout.
Highlights
Experience Amalfi’s defining landmark, where medieval power, Saint Andrew’s relics, and striking Arab-Norman architecture meet.
See traditional papermaking demonstrated in an old mill at the Museo della Carta, one of Amalfi’s most distinctive cultural institutions.
Enjoy elevated views, refined villas, and a quieter cultural atmosphere above the coast’s busiest waterfronts.
Cross into tiny Atrani for a calmer, photogenic evening stroll that feels worlds away from Amalfi’s crowds.
Build in relaxed seaside time at a local beach area so the trip includes a true Amalfi coast pause, not just sightseeing.
