Traslado en coche privado de Naples a Ravello

Ravello is most famous for its _Terrazza dell’Infinito _- Terrace of Infinity. The dramatic end to the gardens at Villa Cimbrone, the boundless horizon blending the sky and the sea, was described by Gore Vidal as "the most beautiful place on the planet." The Cilento Mountains in the distance are the only signs to tell the sky apart from the sea.

Ravello is also known as the City of Music, thanks to how much it inspired the composer Richard Wagner during his stay here and how it helped him finish the second act of his opera, Parsifal. The exact spot that really got to Wagner was the gardens at the Villa Rufolo.

The experience you’ll have in Ravello is worlds away from the crowded beaches below. Here, it never gets as busy as it does in Positano or Amalfi, which means you’ll have a calmer, fuller time here, savoring every moment.

Stop for sightseeing

On the road from Naples to Ravello, you'll pass multiple UNESCO World Heritage Sites, fantastic eateries, and the "Jewel of the Amalfi Coast", Positano. The short drive time means you can fill your day with amazing experiences before even getting to Ravello. Take advantage of the opportunity!

Don't rent a car

Getting a rental car and driving yourself from Naples to Ravello sounds fun until you hit the road. Driving in Italy is a completely different world. City streets and highways are hectic and the narrow, winding road and blind turns of the Amalfi region's roads are harrowing. Then once you reach Ravello, parking can be scarce and expensive.

Instead, hire a private car transfer with Daytrip. You'll have the same freedom as with a rental car, including deciding when you leave Naples and what stops you make on the way, without any of the stressful drawbacks. Plus, Daytrip drivers speak English, so can give you some insider tips on what to do on your vacation.

Naples to Ravello by ferry and hydrofoil

There are no direct ferries from Naples to Ravello but you can still include a ferry ride in your trip. Take a ferry from Naples to Sorrento for 13.10 EUR. The Alilauro Hydrofoil operates from Naples' Moro Beverello Pier to Sorrento, but the schedule varies seasonally and is weather-dependent.

Once in Sorrento, you can take the SITA bus or a private transfer to Ravello. Or, if you want another boat ride, in the summer, you can take a ferry from Sorrento to Amalfi for about 20 euros. From Amalfi, take the bus or a private car service to Ravello.

As ferry seats are limited, buy your tickets in advance. The ferry ride is quick and might be rough, with limited opportunities for photos.

Naples to Ravello by train

You can get about halfway from Naples to Ravello by train, after which you'll need to transfer to a bus or private car. Start at Napoli Centrale and take the Circumvesuviana train to Sorrento, which runs every half hour from 6 AM to 11 PM in the summer. The trip takes about one hour and 10 minutes and costs 3.10 euros, with no advance purchase available. For a quicker, more comfortable journey, you can buy seats for the nicer Campania Express online and they're only about four euros extra.

Once you reach Sorrento, you need to change to the SITA bus to Ravello. Again, you can't buy tickets in advance, and because of the popularity of the area, these get extremely crowded. Or, you can book a private car service like Daytrip to bring you to Ravello.

Naples to Ravello by private car service

The only direct way to get from Naples to Ravello is by private car service. Aside from saving you from changes and crowded public transportation, it comes with plenty of other perks, like total control over your trip, and an English-speaking driver to help with your luggage and see you off at your accommodation in Ravello.

A private car ride with Daytrip also offers the opportunity to stop for sightseeing, something you can't do with public transportation. Walk the ancient ruins of Pompeii, sample local wine at Cantina del Vesuvio, or dip your toes in the water in Positano. It's an amazing chance to enrich your Italian holiday.

Naples to Ravello by rental car

You can drive yourself from Naples to Ravello by taking the A3 motorway towards Salerno, then the exit for the Amalfi Coast, and proceed on the SS163 road. The drive should take approximately one and a half hours, but traffic can get very bad on the highway along the coast.

Although driving is supposed to mean flexibility, the restrictions on rental car entry to the Amalfi area as well as limited parking, and the difficult drive itself, mean driving a rental car has a lot of drawbacks.

Hike from Ravello to Amalfi

Hike from Ravello down to Amalfi for a memorable adventure through the heart of the Amalfi Coast’s natural beauty. The trail descends through lemon groves and terraced gardens. Most of the time the sparkling Tyrrhenian Sea will accompany you on one side. The path, sometimes steep in sections, is well-marked and accessible even if you are not the fittest hiker. Stop by the historic sites and hidden waterfalls you’ll come across along the way.

Marvel at Duomo di Ravello

The Duomo di Ravello, or Ravello Cathedral, is a testament to the town’s rich religious and architectural history. Dominating the main square, Piazza Vescovado, the 11th-century Romanesque cathedral has a plain white facade. But open the bronze door, dating back to 1179, and you'll find a wealth of historic relics, including mosaics, ancient pulpits, and religious artifacts.

Join the Ravello Music Festival

One of Italy’s most prestigious music festivals, the Ravello Festival, turns this town into an even more colorful version of itself every summer. It pays homage to composer Richard Wagner, who found inspiration in Ravello. The event features a diverse lineup of classical music, jazz, and dance performances held in venues throughout the town, including the Villa Rufolo. The festival's highlight is the Concert at Dawn, a magical experience where music welcomes the first light of dawn.
