Getting to the Amalfi Coast

How to get to the Amalfi Coast by train, bus, boat, car, and plane

First of all, it helps to understand the lay of the land.

Now get yourself to one of the two main gateways to the Amalfi Coast: Sorrento at the western end, or Salerno to the east.

Tip: If you intend to explore the Amalfi Coast by bus (recommended) or by car (not recommended), start in Sorrento. (If you start in Salerno, you'll be on the wrong side of the road for all the spectacular views.)

The best options

There are many options for getting to and around the Amalfi Coast, but the most popular via public transportation is to take the Circumvesuviana commuter train from Naples to Sorrento, then an Amalfi Coast bus (or a ferry) from Sorrento.

Another good option is to take an escorted day tour or private guide and driver. It costs more, but you can squeeze in way more sightseeing, plus you don't have to worry about the logistics and keeping track of train and bus schedules.
