Private car transfer
from Rome to Amalfi

Amalfi is the perfect spot for breathing in the ocean air while exploring scraggy caves, strolling along beautiful beaches, and wandering cobbled streets between pastel-colored houses. With its idyllic beauty and Italian luxury, Amalfi is a breath of fresh air. When you ride with Daytrip, you won't just be enjoying a seamless and comfortable door-to-door trip; you'll be able to enrich your Italian experience with sightseeing stops and local insights from your English-speaking driver!

Shortly after that, in 1135 and 1137, Amalfi was sacked by the Pisands and became less important. Fortunately, Amalfi crawled its way back centuries later when writers and artists discovered its charms. It's since become an incredibly popular destination in Italy, famed for its mild climate, spectacular coastal scenery, friendly residents, delicious food, and tasty lemons.

With its rich history and beautiful surroundings, there's no shortage of things to add to your travel itinerary. There is the Arab-Norman Sant'Andrea cathedral, which can be found in the center of the town with its stripped Byzantine facade that has survived since the 6th century, and the Museo Arsenale Amalfi, a medieval shipyard that has been turned into an exhibition space.

Wear comfortable shoes

You'll need a good pair of comfortable shoes when you're traveling from Rome to Amalfi. You'll be doing a lot of walking, both at attractions like Pompeii and exploring Amalfi itself.

Chat with your driver

One of the biggest benefits of using a private car service like Daytrip is that you can chat with your driver, who has plenty of travel tips and insights into the places you want to visit in Amalfi. So don't hesitate to chat with your driver if you have any questions about the Amalfi coast or any specific requests. They are happy to help!

Rome to Amalfi by private car transfer

Undoubtedly, the scenery along the Amalfi coast is attention-worthy, but driving along the SS163 – otherwise known as the Amalfi Coast Drive – can be a nightmare if you're not familiar with it. This road has numerous squiggly hairpin bends and awful traffic at certain times of the day. So you'll focus more on your driving than the incredible once-in-a-lifetime sights.

You can circumvent this issue by hiring a private car service like Daytrip to get you from Rome to Amalfi. Daytrip will handle the driving so that you can sit back and relax while taking in the views of pine-fringed bays, lemon groves, pretty villages, and Saracen towers. It's also fairly affordable to book a door-to-door car service. Prices start at just $100 per person, which is a small price to pay for reliability and comfort.

Rome to Amalfi by train

If you plan on taking the high-speed train from Rome to Amalfi, you must note that the train will only take you to Salerno.

From Salerno, you'll need to take a taxi, bus, or private transfer to Amalfi. The train trip takes about two hours, and the car or bus trip is about half an hour, making the total trip two and a half hours.

However, the time can vary based on the distance – the route – and if there is traffic. It will also cost you between $19 and $80 for the train ticket and $30 and $40 for the taxi ride.

Visit the beaches

You can't visit Amalfi without visiting at least one of the spectacular beaches. This Italian town has numerous beaches, but you might be surprised to learn that some will cost you money to visit.

There are, of course, free beaches, but you might come across a few VIP clubs where you'll need to budget more than $500 if you plan on lounging in a sun chair all day at the beach. There are also beach clubs that allow you to rent a lounge chair and umbrella in a quieter, more private section of the beach for about 20 euros.

Buy a souvenir at Vietri sul Mare

There are plenty of shops in Amalfi, but you shouldn't miss out on exploring other towns on the coast. The nearby town of Vietri sul Mare is renowned for its colorful ceramics- you'll find them decorating walkways, doorways, and roofs.

At Vietri sul Mare, you'll find distinctive polychrome majolica tiles and ceramics that have been produced since the 15th century! We recommend popping in at Ceramica Artistica Solimene since they have hand-painted ceramic tiles that feature gorgeous marine and rural scenes with land and sea animals.

These seasons offer milder weather with balmy temperatures and plenty of sunshine. The spring and fall have minimal rainy days, and the warm weather makes strolling the long streets in the afternoon comfortable.

There are also fewer crowds and lower prices in the spring and fall than you would find in the summer during peak season. However, if you're interested in a festive vibe, visiting Amalfi in December might be best for you since the town features beautiful lights and divine food during this time of year.
