About Salerno
Salerno is the rare Amalfi Coast base that feels like a working Italian city rather than a postcard: a medieval Duomo with its Norman-Arab atrium, a palm-lined lungomare, and ferries and buses that put the region's greatest archaeological and coastal sites within a single day. History-minded travellers can spend one morning among the casts at Pompeii and Herculaneum on the Pompeii and Herculaneum Full-Day Shore Tour from Salerno, then give the next day to the Amalfi Coast's vertical towns on the RAVELLO, AMALFI & POSITANO Shared Tour on the Amalfi Coast.

Frequently asked questions
Salerno sits between three exceptional archaeological zones: Pompeii and Herculaneum to the north, Paestum's Greek temples to the south, and the Amalfi Coast's medieval towns east along the shore. Guided options pair transport with context — an archaeologist-led small group, an audio guide through the excavations, or a private driver who knows.
