What is the best area to stay on the Amalfi Coast?

Amalfi Town is central and well-connected by bus and ferry. Positano is the most photogenic but priciest. Ravello offers tranquility and gardens. Praiano is a great budget-friendly base between the two.

Is the Amalfi Coast expensive?

It can be, especially in peak summer (Jul-Aug). Budget €80-150/day. Save money by visiting in shoulder season (May-Jun, Sep-Oct), eating at local trattorias away from the waterfront, and using buses instead of taxis.

When is the best time to visit the Amalfi Coast?

May-June and September-October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and lower prices. July-August is peak season with heavy crowds and high prices. Many places close from November to March.
