Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Amalfi, Campania
If it's your first time visiting the Amalfi Coast, chances are you'll do a double-take the first time you see a roadside lemon stand. Yes, those are lemons, and yes, they are the size of your head. But despite their freakish appearance, you will grow to love these lemons because the locals use them to produce limoncello. And take it from us, there's nothing like a glass of limoncello as you gaze out at the sea from the balcony of your hotel in Amalfi. It's pretty much perfection.

Great little garden connected with the Duomo. Great for looking at old frescoes and original mosaics. And bell tower, of course. Amazing.

In the Piazza de Duomo in Amalfi you see the steps leading up to the Amalfi Cathedral (Cattedrale Di Sant Andrea) dedicated to the apostle St. Andrew . If you feel fit enough to walk up the steps ( and there are many) it is well worth a visit. The structure dates back to the 9th century and has been changed/ enhanced over many centuries. Reportedly the remains of StAndrew were brought to the Cathedral in the 13th Century. It is a beautiful space and the crypt houses many artifacts. A word of advice is that many school groups visit the cathedral on a daily basis so it might be worth timing your visit for early morning or late afternoon when it is quieter.

Nice quieter Marina on the Amalfi Coast. The ferry uses it but not over crowded with boats. Not as flashy as many other ports.

Positano is quaint ... but relatively small and typically jam-packed with beach-focused tourists. Amalfi is beautiful and big enough to absorb the tour buses that make the drive south from Positano. It feels more like an authentic Italian town and, in fact, was a central hub for trade and culture in ancient times. The mosaic-covered medieval cathedral is beautiful outside, especially in late afternoon when the sun is low. Inside there are new findings, restorations and a very informative museum that have been added in recent years. Elsewhere in Amalfi are all sorts of restaurants, shops, and narrow streets to explore.
9. La Basilica del Crocifisso

Nagyon nehéz szavakat találnom, mikor Amalfira gondolok. Ott lenni.... egy életre szóló emlék. Úgy láttam, hogy itt mindenki Amalfi főutcájáról beszél, de, hogy őszinte legyen én nem tudom, hogy hol lehet a Via dei Mercanti. Mivel Amalfi főutcája a Via Lorenzo Amalfi, ami Via Pietro Capuano-ként folytatódik. Tulajdonképpen nem is számít. A lényeg, hogy Amalfi csodálatos! Nem lehet eltévedni: ha busszal vagy komppal érkezel a kikötőből azonnal látni fogod a Porta della Marina-t, ami a város kapuja. Ahogy belépsz, a város főterén találod magad: a Piazza Duomo olyan, mint egy tündérmese. A káprázatos Duomo kedves emlékeket idézett vissza Toszkánából. A teret kávézók, bárok veszik körül, de ha spórolnod kell, akkor a Dóm mellett található lépcsőkön lehet találni árnyas helyeket és ott pihenni, figyelni, ahogy jönnek mennek az emberek. Amalfi a béke világa. Az élmény az, hogy egyszerűen ott vagy. Valószínűleg a Via Lorenzo di Amalfi-n folytatod majd a sétát. Nem úgy, mint más városokban az Amalfi-parton, itt van rá esély, hogy megfizethető áron vásároljunk néhány ajándékot. És nem csak gyenge minőségű turista kliséket. Természetesen nem mindenhol, de könnyen találhatsz az igényeidnek megfelelő boltot a főutcán és érdemes a mellékutcákat is felfedezni a Porta della Marina környékén. Ezen kívül, ahogy a főutcán sétálsz, mindkét oldalon kis sikátorokat fogsz látni meredek lépcsőkkel. Megéri mászni egy kicsit és érezni, látni, hallani fogod a dolce vita-t. It's very hard for me to find words when I'm thinking about Amalfi. To be there... it's a memory for a lifetime. As I have seen everybody talks here about the main street of Amalfi, but to be honest I don't know where the Via dei Mercanti could be. Because Amalfi's main street is called Via Lorenzo di Amalfi and it continues as Via Pietro Capuano. Actually it doesn't even matter. The point is that Amalfi is wonderful. You can't get lost there: if you arrive with bus or with ferry, from the port you will immediately see the Porta della Marina, which is the gate of the town. When you enter, you will find yourself on the main square: Piazza Duomo which is like a fairytale. The magnificent Duomo recalled my sweet memories from Tuscany. The square is surrounded by cafes and bars, but if you are one a budget tour, there are the steps near the Dome, where you can find a nice, shady place to relax and watch people come and go. Amalfi is the world of peace, the experience is simply that you are there. You will likely continue the stroll in the town along Via Lorenzo di Amalfi. Unlike in the other Amalfi coast towns, here you have the chance to buy souvenirs for affordable price. And not only low quality tourist cliches. Not everywhere of course, but it's easy to find the shop that fits your needs along the main street and it worth to explore the side streets around the Porta della Marina. Besides that, walking along the main street you will see little alleys on both sides with steep steps. It worth to climb a little and you will feel, see and here the dolce vita in Amalfi.
