Why take a day trip from Rome to the Amalfi Coast?

Craving a break from the urban bustle of Rome? Check out the Amalfi Coast, filled with colorful homes, mountain trails, hidden coves, and serene beaches. Easily travel down the west coast from Rome and enjoy the perfect day trip for those staying in the city!

These day trips offer a perfect blend of relaxation, exploration, and unforgettable coastal views, all with the ease of round-trip transportation.
Travel along scenic coastal roads with views of the Gulf of Naples and the towering Mount Vesuvius, and arrive at the ‘Divine Coast’—famous for its cliffs, lush mountains, and picturesque villages. Your guided day trips let you skip the hassle of planning and navigation, so you can simply savor the beauty of this UNESCO-listed coastline.
From Amalfi’s vibrant streets to Positano’s charming shops, each town offers its own slice of Italian charm.

Add a coastal cruise from Salerno so you can admire the Amalfi cliffs, hidden coves, and lively harbor towns from the sea.

Things to know before booking a Rome to Amalfi Coast day tour

A Rome to Amalfi Coast day tour typically lasts 12 to 15 hours, with early morning departures that let you make the most of your time along the coast. The duration varies depending on your chosen itinerary—whether you want to focus on the picturesque Amalfi Coast alone or explore additional sites such as the ancient ruins of Pompeii or the nearby Sorrento. Each option offers a unique lens on the region’s history and breathtaking scenery.
The journey from Rome to the Amalfi Coast takes approximately 3.5 hours one way, offering beautiful coastal views and glimpses of charming Italian villages along the route. However, the winding coastal roads and limited parking on the Amalfi Coast can be challenging, especially during peak season. By booking a tour with round-trip transfers, you can relax and enjoy the scenery without the hassle of navigation, traffic, or parking.
Choose a classic AC coach for a leisurely scenic drive or a high-speed train for a faster, more direct route to the coast. Both options allow you to enjoy sweeping Italian landscapes along the way.
All day trips include an experienced guide who will share local insights, historical context, and insider tips, making sure you don’t miss any of the region’s hidden gems and iconic landmarks.
If you’re looking for a more intimate experience, consider a semi-private tour with smaller groups and personalized attention from your guide. This setup allows for a more tailored experience, with extra time to ask questions and explore at a relaxed pace.
Elevate your Amalfi Coast experience with customizable options, such as a scenic cruise along the coast, which allows you to take in breathtaking views of the cliffs, coves, and colorful villages that line the shore. You could even get a chance to taste the famous limoncello!
Please note: Due to the region’s steep terrain and narrow pathways, these day trips are currently not accessible to wheelchairs or strollers

Salerno Medieval Aqueduct

For a 9th-century engineering marvel built to deliver water to nearby monasteries, these branched ogee stone arches come with a lot of spooky myths!

Entry: free entry

Monumental Complex of St. Peter in Court - Hypogeum and Palatine Chapel

Cloister of Paradise

Entry: free

St. Andrew’s Cathedral

Nestled in Amalfi's Piazza del Duomo, this medieval cathedral honors Saint Andrew with his sacred relics. Nearby, you can also see St. Andrew’s Fountain.

Visitor tips

Where to eat

The best seasons to enjoy a day trip to the Amalfi Coast are September to October and April to May. The days are bright and warm, featuring minimal rain and fewer crowds.
Visiting in November and December involves fewer crowds but it is also off-season, which means that certain services like ferries will not be available.
If you aim to hike the Path of the Gods trail, it’s best to start early in the morning. The route from Praiano to Positano is 5 miles long, and considered challenging due to the steep ascents and descents from both towns.

Pack light but essential: Bring only what you need, such as water, snacks, a power bank, and a small first-aid kit, but keep your bag light.
Budget for lunch: Leave space in your budget for lunch and shopping, as numerous restaurants and souvenir stores line the seafront villages of the Amalfi Coast.
Off-season travelers: Ensure you plan for alternative transport options, since ferry services only run from April until the end of October or beginning of November.
Prepare for connectivity issues: Network coverage along the Amalfi Coast tends to be patchy. To prepare, you can download offline maps and check for free Wi-Fi at some restaurants and towns, like Maiori.
Engage with the locals: A kind and respectful conversation can go a long way, especially when it comes to discovering niche spots along the Amalfi Coast.
Be flexible: Have a plan, but be open to spontaneous changes based on discoveries or recommendations. That’s what makes guided day trips with transfers a great option!

Frequently asked questions about day trips from Rome to the Amalfi Coast

What kind of day trips are available?

There are several options to choose from, you can choose AC coach transfers all the way through or add a cruise along the Amalfi Coast from the port of Salerno. Other options include high speed train transfers or semi-private guided tours. You can even customize your trip to visit Sorrento, taste some limoncello at a local distillery, or explore Pompeii.

Can I customize my day trip itinerary?

While specific towns are visited as per the itinerary, you have the freedom to explore the points that interest you the most at each stop. Whether swimming and hiking, or discovering museums and churches, the choice is all yours!

How is the internet and cell phone connectivity on the Amalfi Coast?

Cell coverage can be pretty patchy along the coast. There are no public hot spots on the Amalfi Coast, although some hotels and restaurants offer free Wi-Fi. The town of Maiori offers free Wi-Fi to residents and tourists. Just provide a valid identity document copy and get a wireless internet access card from the Municipality of the town or the Local Tourist Office!

What if I miss my departure time?

Departure timings are very strict in order to maximize the time you get at each stop. If you miss the pick-up, there won’t be any scope for rescheduling or cancellation. Please ensure you reach before time!

Can I change my booking date?

Please check the date and time of your tour very carefully before booking, as date changes are usually not possible once confirmed.

How far is the Amalfi Coast from Rome?

The distance between Rome and the Amalfi Coast is approximately 279.5 km, and a one-way road journey can take over 3.5 hours.

Is Sorrento on the Amalfi Coast?

No. Situated just north of the iconic coast, the hilly coastal town after which the Sorrentine Peninsula is named, faces the Bay of Naples. The Amalfi Coast runs along the south of this peninsula and looks out at the Tyrrhenian Sea, encompassing the towns from Positano to Salerno. However, you can always customize your Rome to Amalfi Coast day trip to stop by this large and serene town!

Are day trips accessible for travelers with disabilities?

Unfortunately, these day trips are not accessible by wheelchair and pram/strollers, and not recommended for those with impairments related to visual, hearing, and mobility. The Amalfi Coast itself is accessible to a degree, although smaller streets and slopes may pose a challenge.

Can I visit the Amalfi Coast in the winter?

While the winter months may be moderately cooler and free of crowds, it is also off-season, which means that most services and marketplaces are shut. Ferries also cease to run during these months since the sea becomes rougher.

How do I include a visit to Pompeii on my Rome to Amalfi Coast day trip?

The Bay of Naples is on the way to Amalfi, and the city of Pompei is serviced by numerous bus and train lines, making it a great detour. Want to include a visit to Pompeii? Check out this day trip or this semi-private tour.

Can I bring my pets on a Rome to Amalfi Coast day trip?

Unfortunately, due to the terrain and logistics, your furry/scaly friends will have to stay back on these day trips.

Are there any dress code restrictions?

Only if you’re planning to visit a religious building, where knees and shoulders must be covered. On the Amalfi Coast, you can dress how you want without restrictions—just consider the weather and terrain!
