About Ravello

Known as the "city of music," Ravello has a vibrant cultural scene and has been a retreat for many years for artists, musicians, and authors. Sitting 1,248 feet (350 m) above sea level, this enchanting location is one of the most stunning spots along the Amalfi Coast, offering a unique and captivating landscape.

Its historic villas are well-known for their spectacular vistas, which have attracted photographers from all over the globe. Like an open terrace facing the sea, you can enjoy unspoiled views of the green terraces adorned with lemon trees that lead to the stunningly deep blue Mediterranean Sea.

History of Ravello

Ravello was established as a haven from barbarian attacks in the 5th century. It rose to prominence over time, particularly in the Middle Ages, when it developed into a significant economic and cultural hub under the Republic of Amalfi. Ravello is home to some of Italy's most stunning villas steeped in history.

One must-see is Villa Rufolo, which enthralled composer Richard Wagner with its lush gardens and breathtaking views. So inspired was he that he remained in Ravello long enough to write the second act of Parsifal. Villa Cimbrone is another highly recommended, known for its Terrace of Infinity, which has one of the most incredible views in the area.

Modern Ravello

Ravello's tranquility and well-kept architecture captivate modern visitors. Every summer, the town becomes a cultural hub thanks to the Ravello Festival, a classical music event that attracts performers and listeners from all over the world.

The narrow streets of Ravello are a charming mix of the old and new. Old churches and buildings coexist alongside charming shops, contemporary art galleries, and cafés. The town is elevated, so you can escape the summer heat in its cool, refreshing atmosphere.

Carry cash

When in Ravello, you won't want to miss out on the irresistible souvenirs from the charming artisan stores, especially the beautiful handmade pottery shops. So, don’t forget to carry some cash, as many shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars in both Rome and Ravello don’t accept cards.

Locals appreciate the effort, which can make it easier to navigate in smaller, less touristy places. Simple phrases such as “buongiorno” (good morning), “buonasera” (good evening), “grazie” (thank you), “per favore” (please), and “quanto” (how much) can be helpful.

Enjoy the views

Daytrip is a flexible service that allows you to add stops at scenic locations like this and more, making the drive itself a memorable part of your trip.

Things to do when you get to Ravello

Nestled away high above the bustling coastal road, Ravello is a peaceful getaway for travelers. The town attracts its fair share of daytime visitors, but as the sun sets, many tourists depart, leaving behind a stunning setting where you can relax, enjoy the scenery, and connect with the local culture. Here are a few things you can do when in Ravello:

Tour Villa Rufolo

Villa Rufolo, nestled in the heart of Ravello, captivates visitors with its lush gardens and Amalfi Coast vistas. The wealthy Rufolo family built it in the 13th century. The villa immediately symbolized the family's wealth and power with its Moorish design and terraced gardens.

Walking around Villa Rufolo, you can almost feel its history. Over the ages, the house has hosted many nobles, including King Robert II of Naples. The villa's grounds, which inspired Richard Wagner's "Parsifal," demonstrate its beauty and allure.

Visit Villa Cimbrone

Tucked into one of the cliffs overlooking the coast, Villa Cimbrone has some of Italy's most spectacular viewpoints. Villa Cimbrone is comparable to entering a timeless haven of tranquility. Originally dating from the 11th century, the villa has been meticulously renovated to maintain its historical charm and highlight its surrounding beauty.

Attend Ravello Festival

Ravello becomes a cultural hub during the annual classical music festival. This prestigious event draws world-renowned musicians to Villa Rufolo's beautiful grounds for a unique cultural experience.

Also known as the "Wagner Festival," it runs from June to September, allowing visitors to enjoy the music and Italian summer weather. Since 1953, the festival honors Richard Wagner and is one of Italy's biggest cultural events. The Ravello Festival has risen in importance and scope. Besides classical music, the event features jazz, dance, and art displays.

The Amalfi Coast setting in Villa Rufolo's gardens enhances the music's emotional effect. Orchestras, soloists, and groups play classics in the gardens throughout the day until the sun sets and the stars shine.

The Ravello Festival is more than a concert—it's a tour of Italian culture and history. It is a unique and engaging event that everyone can enjoy. See the festival schedule here!

It was a fantastic trip.

“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”

Daytrip never disappoints

“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”
