Word of mouth

What travellers say

Safety

Is Amalfi safe?

Amalfi is generally safe, but roads, heat, stairs and crowds are real hazards. Stay clear of the SS163, hydrate and use marked paths; dial 112 in an emergency.

Coastal road

Never stand in the road or step into traffic for photographs; the SS163 is narrow and busy.

Stairs and shoes

Wear shoes with grip on polished stone, steep steps and wet waterfront surfaces.

Heat and boats

Carry water and check ferry services before relying on them; wind can change schedules.

Questions

Amalfi FAQ

The centre is walkable, but the coast is steep and linked by many stairs.
