Amalfi Town
Amalfi is the town that gives the coast its name, a small settlement crammed into a valley between cliffs with a 9th-century cathedral (free entry to nave, paid cloisters), a Paper Museum (the town invented European paper manufacturing, paid, cheap), and a harbor front of restaurants and lemon groves. Free to walk. Budget travelers take the cheap SITA bus from Sorrento, walk the steep streets, visit the cathedral for free, and eat a lemon granita on the harbor.
