HOW TO VISIT THE AMALFI COAST ON A BUDGET

2024/4/10 Edited to

... Read moreVisiting the Amalfi Coast on a budget is entirely feasible with careful planning and some insider tips. Begin in Praiano, a lesser-known town that offers affordable accommodations and a more authentic atmosphere. Here, you can find lovely stays for under $200 a night, allowing you to save while experiencing local life. For day trips, consider Sorrento, where you can relax at Marina Grande Beach and enjoy seafood at Da Emilia without a hefty price tag. The meals are not only budget-friendly but also celebrate authentic Italian flavors. Capri is another must-visit; a chairlift ride to Monte Solaro yields breathtaking views and an affordable lunch nearby at Ristorante Pizzeria Isidoro. When heading to Positano, the SITA bus offers a convenient and economical way to explore. Admire sights such as the Church of Santa Maria Assunta and lounge on Spiaggia Grande, making dining at La Pergola a delightful option. Finally, Amalfi town should not be missed—visit the stunning Duomo di Amalfi, take a leisurely beach walk, and dine at Pizzeria Donna Stella or Il Tari for reasonably priced, delicious pasta dishes. For experiences that add flavor to your trip, consider local cooking classes or engaging in a scenic boat tour around the coastline—all possible through platforms like Viator that offer great deals for group bookings. With these tips, you can enjoy the Amalfi Coast while staying within your budget!

Visit this city instead of Positano
PRAIANO! Everyone talks about visiting Positano, but I recommend visiting the neighboring city of Praiano instead. Slightly removed from the action you'll find less crowds, cheaper lodging, and better dining. Plus, Positano is just a short bus/water taxi ride away! By no means is Praiano
