Good to know about guides to the Amalfi Coast
The guides hub is a library of essential-reading articles built around the questions that trip up first-time visitors. A Sentiero degli Dei guide covers the 7 km route from Bomerano to Nocelle, the roughly three hours it takes, and why it should be started early given the lack of shade and water points. An Amalfi Duomo guide is precise about what's there: the 62-step staircase, the Cloister of Paradise, and the papermaking tradition of the Valle dei Mulini going back to the 13th century. An Around the Coast guide compares seeing the Amalfi Coast by rental car along the SS163, by SITA Sud bus, or by seasonal ferry between Salerno, Amalfi, Positano and Sorrento.
A Naples Old Town guide covers Spaccanapoli, the historic centre's narrow streets, and the Archaeological Museum that holds the original mosaics and frescoes from Pompeii. A limoncello guide explains the liqueur made from the sfusato amalfitano lemon, distinct from wine or grappa, and typically served chilled at the end of a meal. A currency and budgeting guide is direct about Italy using the euro (€), displayed prices already including VAT at 22% (10% for hotels and restaurants), and the cover charge added to restaurant bills.
A weather guide corrects the common assumption that a clear day on the coast means the ferries always run, rather than a swell that can cancel crossings to Capri within the same week.
Frequently asked questions about guides to the Amalfi Coast
Is there a safety guide for hiking the Sentiero degli Dei?
Yes — it covers the 7 km route, the roughly three hours it takes, the lack of shade or water points, and why an early start matters.
Does a guide explain limoncello and how it's made?
Yes, along with the fact that it's made from the sfusato amalfitano lemon, an IGP variety grown along the coast.
Is there a guide to why Sorrento isn't on the Amalfi Coast?
Yes — it covers how Sorrento sits on the other side of the Sorrentine Peninsula, facing the Bay of Naples, while the Amalfi Coast proper runs from Positano to Vietri sul Mare on the southern side.
Do the guides explain the currency situation?
Yes — Italy is in the EU and the eurozone, uses the euro (€), and displayed prices already include VAT at 22% (10% for hotels and restaurants), plus a cover charge on restaurant bills.
Is there a guide correcting misconceptions about the coast's climate?
Yes — the Amalfi Coast can be clear and mild while ferries are still cancelled for swell out at sea, and many businesses close from November to February regardless of the day's weather.
