About Amalfi
Tucked away amongst the rugged cliffs and aquamarine waves of the Tyrrhenian Sea is the beautiful gem of Amalfi, one of the 13 picturesque towns of the Amalfi Coast. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Amalfi Coast is one of the world’s most scenic coastlines. From gorgeous panoramic views to ample history and culture and quintessential Italian cuisine, Amalfi offers a rich slice of South Italy to experience.
Amalfi is the most historic town on the Amalfi Coast, having been an influential Medieval maritime republic. Wandering the sun-kissed streets, you will discover the influence history has had on the town’s architecture, with a maze of narrow streets, hidden courtyards, and steep staircases for you to explore, a strategic design to protect its citizens from invasion. History radiates further from the medieval masterpiece that is St. Andrews Cathedral, which sits proudly in Amalfi’s historical heart.
Stroll the streets, and your senses will be enlightened. Italian charm oozes from its classic pastel buildings and the many restaurants, cafes, and artisanal shops lining the streets, with scents of lemon and freshly cooked seafood in the air. Here, you can taste Italian classics such as spaghetti al limone, enriched with Amalfi lemons, while watching the world go by.
At the water’s edge, you will feel the relaxed atmosphere from the locals and tourists alike soaking up the sun along the promenade that offers stunning sea views. As the sun begins to set, the town illuminates in romantic sparkling lights, views best enjoyed with a limoncello while the sun sets on the jewel of the Amalfi Coast.

Choose a provider like Daytrip that offers safety, comfort, and reliability with strict vehicle standards and individually interviewed professional drivers.
Time is of the essence

Pack appropriately for the hot and sunny Mediterranean climate by bringing plenty of water, sunscreen, and breathable clothes for a comfortable experience.

How to get from Naples to Amalfi
Deciding how to get from Naples to Amalfi is a key part of planning your trip to the heavenly Amalfi Coast. While many transportation options are available, a private car service is ultimately the best option as it allows you to enjoy the scenic route to the fullest and is the most convenient, comfortable, and customizable option.
From Naples to Amalfi by car
The drive from Naples to Amalfi is around 39 miles (62 km) and takes approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, although this can vary depending on traffic. While convenient, driving a rental car around the Amalfi Coast can be difficult and stressful with narrow winding roads to maneuver and expensive and limited parking. There are also driving restrictions limiting when you can drive based on your license plate.
From Naples to Amalfi by train and bus
You have to take the train from Naples train station to Sorrento and then a bus from Sorrento to Amalfi. If you are coming from the Naples International Airport, there is a bus from the parking lot to Sorrento, which makes the trip at least a little easier. While the tickets cost less than a private transfer, public transport is slow as you must transfer to a bus from the train station. The trains and buses get crowded, especially in summer, and you have the added inconvenience of luggage handling, so weigh how much you value cost over convenience.

We offer a door-to-door service, so you will be conveniently picked up at your desired location in Naples, including the airport or train station, and dropped off at your Amalfi accommodation, meaning no luggage handling or having to transfer from train to bus. With Daytrip, you can schedule your Amalfi transfer to start when you want to rather than when the train departs.
Instead of traveling on cramped public transportation, Daytrip allows you to travel in customizable comfort. Choose your vehicle, with sedans, MPVs, vans, or luxury sedans available on this route, which all meet our strict safety guidelines.
With Daytrip, you also have the luxurious option of adding world-renowned sightseeing stops to your journey, allowing you to easily explore more of the Amalfi Coast. From our hand-picked recommendations, such as the UNESCO-listed Herculaneum or Ravello, to another spot along the way not listed on our website that you can request via our custom route form, turn your private transportation into an adventure of discovery along the Amalfi Coast!
Instead of driving around the roads with sharp turns yourself, with Daytrip, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenic drive with a private driver who is experienced and familiar with the roads. Your friendly English-speaking driver will be happy to share local knowledge and tips to enhance your journey, allowing you to connect to South Italy's culture from a local perspective.
In short, a private car service offers the most freedom and convenience to enjoy the picturesque journey to the fullest with our door-to-door service and the option to customize your itinerary.
Things to do when you get to Amalfi
Arriving in Amalfi, you will be greeted with spectacular views of the historic town and turquoise sea, a wealth of history and culture, and the sweet scent of lemons in the air.
Begin at the serene harbor, where the sparkling waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea meet the golden sand. Colorful boats bob in the bay, and parasols flutter in the breeze. Behind you, iconic white buildings are nestled amongst the dramatic hills, where you can spot the medieval watchtowers at the peak. Stroll along the promenade, taking in the views at your leisure while enjoying a gelato. Step foot on the beach to relax to the calming sounds of the waves or swim in the pristine blue waters.
Then, enter the historic heart of Amalfi through the Porta della Marina gateway, where you will find the charming Piazza del Duomo, Amalfi’s main square, bustling with life. Admire Saint Andrew’s Fountain, adorned with the sculptures of Amalfi’s patron saint standing amongst cherubs and angels. Look up to see the breathtaking Amalfi Cathedral, which sits proudly at the top of the 63-step staircase. Climb the staircase to enter the cathedral, which is decorated with intricate mosaics, fine paintings, and golden ceilings.
Head back onto Piazza del Duomo to explore Amalfi’s main street that leads off from the square, where many shops offer local products. From limoncello to handmade ceramics, you will be sure to find a special souvenir here. You will also find many restaurants for alfresco dining or a refreshing limoncello spritz, perfect after strolling and sightseeing.
Go off the beaten track and explore the hidden beauty of the narrow side streets, where buildings adorned with balconies and flowers are nestled alongside stone steps for you to climb and admire the views of the sea and the town from above.
With picturesque views, an abundance of history and culture, and the chance to try some authentic Italian food and drink, Amalfi is a true gem of the Amalfi Coast.

“Our driver Fabio was absolutely amazing. Car was clean, safe driving and very personable. Would most definitely recommend and use this service. Used for drive from Naples to Amalfi Coast for Honeymoon. ”
“Efficient, highly professional, relaxing and friendly service - I was very pleasantly surprised. We were tired and stressed flying in a pandemic to my daughter's wedding which could not be postponed. Our driver immediately put us at ease with his warm and reassuring manner, whilst maintaining high standards of hygiene and social distancing. The vehicle was immaculate and a glass screen partitioned the driver from the passengers. En route to the Amalfi Coast from Naples we were given thoughtful details of the area and highlights were pointed out as we passed them.
On return to the airport the company responded very responsively to my last minute anxious email that we were indeed being picked up at the allocated time and the driver arrived promptly with a friendly welcome. Again our return was smoothly carried out and our driver kept us up to date on expected arrival times in a calm and friendly manner.
I can not recommend this service enough. It was brilliant and we shall be using them again - what an excellent find!”
“Our driver, Alfonso S. was the best! Our group of 6 booked a trip from Naples Airport to Amalfi, with a stop for lunch and a tour at an organic winery. Alfonso, our driver, made this journey such a pleasure. He was punctual, extremely friendly and courteous, and gave us an entertaining talk about local history and information along the way.
He was an excellent and very safe driver, which we
appreciate. If we have thr opportunity again to book a trip in this area, we would request Alfonso S.
Many thanks to him for making our journey such a pleasure.”
“We hired daytrip from Naples to Amalfi and Almafi to Rome...both of our drivers Biagio and Marco were professional...knowledgeable and went out of their way to help....Biagio booked private tour for us in Pompei on the way...made lunch reservations...Marco recommended some fine restaurants in Rome...
We would highly recommend Daytrip”
“We booked (fairly last minute) a car transfer from Amalfi to Naples and although we were warned that it might not be possible because we attempted to book it with less than 24 hours notice, Daytrip came through with a top-notch driver for us. We couldn’t have been more impressed with the professionalism and competence of our driver, Gianfranco. He was so pleasant and courteous and navigated the winding, narrow mountain roads between Amalfi and Naples with ease and confidence. We will not hesitate to book Daytrip again in the future for our transfer needs.”
“We were nervous about hiring a driver to take us from Naples to our hotel on the Amalfi Coast, but came across Daytrip and were so pleased with the reviews. They lived up to the hype too - our driver, Giovanni, was splendid and he picked us up at the Naples train station and even waited with our things as we had scheduled a 2-hour Pompeii tour on the way to the Amalfi Coast. He also happened to be our driver on the way back too, driving us to the Naples airport. We really enjoyed our time in the car with him and really appreciated his stories and pointing out things of interest. His English was also very good too, which made things easy! Thank you Daytrip, we will be using you again in the future!”
“We used Daytrip for luxury private transfer from Naples to Amalfi. And following our two week stay in Amalfi we scheduled them for our return with Pompei and Winery tour!
Well worth the price! Imagine the freedom of never waiting for a bus or train. Coming or going when you like. Never having to navigate the roads or schedules.
Your driver Manuel was great in every way. He is an excellent driver and spoke perfect English. He provided tips to make our stay better. He is a true professional! Thanks for granting our request to schedule him for our return!
Online scheduling and communication between day trip and us was excellent.”
“We were struggling with transportation options between Naples and the Amalfi Coast. We didn’t like the whole train - bus thing as we are almost 70 and hauling luggage around Italy isn’t fun. We are so happy we found Daytrip. The cost was affordable and the drivers are fantastic. The auto’s were modern and clean. We were transferred door to door, Naples to Praiano and return. We were given excellent advice and tips about the area also. I will definitely be using Daytrip in future travels and highly recommend them when traveling.”
“We used Daytrip for 3 trips in Italy and were 100% satisfied. The drivers were fantastic and very knowledgeable about the culture and sites along the way to our destinations in Rome, Naples and Amalfi Coast. They were always about 10 minutes early and called the day before to confirm. I loved being able to pay before the trip to decreased the amount of cash I had to take with me.”
“Great experience with this company. Taxi was slightly cheaper than other transfers from Naples to Amalfi and back again, with the option to stop off to visit local attractions. We chose to visit Pompeii. The company send you driver’s picture, name and phone number before your trip. Drivers turned up on time in people carrier. Very polite, good English, helpful and knowledgeable about local area. Would use this company again.”
