Visit Amalfi: What to See and Where to Go

Amalfi is one of the most historic towns along the Amalfi Coast, celebrated for its maritime heritage, stunning architecture, and bustling central square. The town is compact and easy to explore on foot. If you plan to visit Amalfi for a day trip, these highlights are definitely worth your time.

  • Amalfi Cathedral

    The Cathedral of Saint Andrew is Amalfi’s most well-known landmark, towering above Piazza Duomo with its wide staircase and unique façade. Inside, you can explore the Cloister of Paradise and the crypt, both key parts of Amalfi’s cultural history.

  • Piazza Duomo

    Piazza Duomo is the heart of the town, where Amalfi’s daily rhythm is most visible. It’s a great spot for a quick coffee, a short break, or a quick walk before heading off to explore nearby streets and viewpoints.

  • Paper Museum

    Amalfi is famous for its maritime history, but it also has a longstanding tradition of handmade paper production. The Museo della Carta is a great stop if you’re looking to add some culture to your trip while visiting Amalfi, and it’s easy to get there from the town center.

  • Arsenale of Amalfi

    Just a few steps from the center, the Arsenale of Amalfi is an ancient medieval shipyard that today hosts exhibitions and cultural initiatives. A visit here adds an authentic piece to your discovery of Amalfi, especially if you are interested in history and maritime traditions.

    It is a perfect stop for hikers and anyone looking to experience a more natural, scenic side of Amalfi. This green valley features walking trails through lush Mediterranean vegetation, offering a landscape that feels very different from the seafront and the town center.
