Sorrento to Amalfi and Salerno: Private day trip

Explore the maritime kingdom of lemons and enjoy salty breezes and citrus delights.

Start your exploration of Amalfi by climbing the 62-staircase of the Duomo di Amalfi to the Cloister of Paradise. In around 45 minutes, you’ll take in incredible views on the journey up and the unforgettable architecture inside. Then, head to a family-owned limoneto where you can spend an hour touring the lemon production process and sample freshly made lemon granita at Pansa. Finally, visit the paper museum to learn more about the area’s handmade paper tradition (going strong since 1266!) Spend 30 minutes exploring the museum before heading to your next stop.

Visit Salerno, a charming seaside retreat with a medieval heart.

Start your time in Salerno at Salerno Cathedral, an iconic Romanesque masterpiece featuring a crypt decorated with 11th-century frescoes. After around 45 minutes, head to Italy’s first botanical garden, Minerva’s Garden. Enjoy an hour exploring these fragrant terraces from the 1300s. Then, visit Lungomare di Salerno, a palm-lined seaside promenade where you can quickly lose an hour to gelato stops and sunset views. Finish the day in the city’s medieval heart, Centro Storico. Stop in artisan boutiques and capture photos of hidden piazzas to round out the day.
