Itinerary

1. 1

   Ravello

   1h

   Without a doubt the most peaceful one of the Amalfi coast, Ravello is a quaint little town that was founded soon after the fall of the Roman Empire and that has been considered a mountain resort area ever since. Also known as the City of Music (Città della Musica), Ravello has welcomed during the years many famous composers, from historical characters like Richard Wagner to contemporary artists such as Philip Glass and Ennio Morricone. You will have the chance to visit the fantastic Villa Rufolo, a moorish villa that faces the Duomo of Ravello and the location of the famous Ravello Music Festival that takes place in town every year, and Villa Cimbrone, a medieval Villa where from the Infinity Terrace (Terrazza dell'Infinito) you will enjoy one of the most unbelievable views that the coast has to offer.

2. 2

   Amalfi

   2h

   It is just one of its fourteen towns, but it has such an historical relevance that it gave the name to the entire coast. This is Amalfi, known as one of the four ancient "Maritime Republics", together with Pisa, Genova and Venice, called this way because they were the most important ports in Italy for the commercial routes with the east. The white houses separated from each other by narrow alleys and archways form a welcoming, charming little town where you can embrace the history and the traditions of a place that for many years has been considered the source of wealth of the Italian territory. Once at the main square the Duomo of Sant'Andrea will simply leave you speechless, with its moorish inspired belltower and its incredible staircase at the top of which you will marvel at view of the square and truly feel the grandeur of this ancient town.
