City in Italy

Salerno

3 things to see

Salerno is the working gateway to the Amalfi Coast, with a genuine medieval old town and a long seafront promenade that both cost nothing to wander. Sleeping here instead of in Amalfi or Positano cuts accommodation costs dramatically, while buses and ferries connect directly to every coastal village. It also sits an easy train ride from Naples and the day trips around it, and visiting outside the July to August peak brings calmer crowds and lower room rates.
