Amalfi Coast: The Don'ts of Visiting the Amalfi Coast

As a sober person I won't take a lemon shot even if it's considered rude.

Myself and my husband are doing a road trip around Italy in October so will have the car, won’t have a choice but to drive about. Luckily my husband is a good driver, I’d probably cry lol can’t wait to visit!

...he just discovered hot water....i am italian and i only agree on those places being very expensive, but they are amazing places....i prefer the islands, and i find sorrento too crowded....also rent a car...do not get a driver as most will rip you off and pretend a tip at the end....about the food?....fish of course...but avoid places in the city centre, they are tourists traps, google it, read the reviews...and pls do not miss Ravello❤

In the nutshell, your message is don't go. I avoided it and Europe in general in summer. 2023 is the worst heatwave. Too many Americans, too. I found Ulcinj, Montenegro is the third Amarfi, after Tropea, Italy. Still many bathers. The beaches are like public baths. That's European beaches.

Excellent video - thanks for posting- great advice

Ginger candy to prevent car sickness or sea sickness.

U r great ,so helpful

Love the energy of the video, straight forward and full of great information! This makes where I want to go in Italy harder

I saw on luggage only instagram you can take trains too to those towns.

Rented a Vespa. There was no way we were going to sit on those buses on a winding road .

If you want a mega cheap version go to broadstairs Kent its stunningly beautiful looks like mini positano theres even Italian restaurants lol and the sand is golden not grey beach, its is free :)

We were there in early October irs was crazy busy!!

driving the coast is challenging , prices are not cheap , stay in naples or somewhere else, then day trip to amalfi coast , ferry from sorrento > positano doesnt go at night only day

Excellent tips.

Really cool info, thanks indeed, and supernice of you❤

Thinking it might be best just to stay in one location, like Positano, and hire a guide to take us on day trips?

Good info. Do you have any advice about taking boat tours down the coast?

Hey, can anyone recommend a good and affordable photographer for couple’s photoshoot in late march. My husband and myself will be there for 3 days. Any leads would be appreciated

Don’t fall asleep on the ferry or a bus. My expensive camera was swiped right off my neck on ferry to Capri. I didn’t feel in danger while there but obviously got ripped off!

My eyes enjoy the view. Can’t afford to go.

Great video, thanks for posting.

Very helpful

Pains me to say it, but given the massive overtourism issues I'm gonna have to say there's only one don't - Don't go to Positano! Go to Maiori instead and say you went to the birthplace of Frank Pepe (wish we did on our trip - I grew up in CT).

It's an incredible drive. Go in the off season and rent a small car. There are parking services too.

Lol, americans are 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣 “dO noT voMit oN thE buS”, “yOu wOn’t fAll fRom CliF” What is wrong with you people? Stay in America, you are not prepared for Europe/Balkans.

I watched all video. Please ignore americans reviews on Italy. They are under subject. They eat fine dining dishes in Italy 🥹🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

Super helpful info. Great video. Thank you !

Was just on that bus! I’m glad to have survived it.

Any videos on this place that are not so patronising?

Useless video. I drove the Amalfi Coast twice and is a regular drive. Maybe you do not have the guts . . .

The bus, driving, and good tips are spot on!

Do you have any recommendations for a company to use to hire a driver ? Thanks ! Great video !

My day driving the Amalfi coast was the best experience I've ever had in Europe. Our lunch looking over the sea was spectacular and worth the price. Two tips. Don't rent a manual if you are not comfortable driving such a car. Secondly drive East to West. We drove from Naples and began in Salerno going to Sorrento before returning to our cruise ship. You hug the wall not the sea. Unforgetable.

Having driven the Amalfi Coast twice twenty years apart your comments are 100% spot on.

The tips ARE NOT included in the bills! How can you confirm they are? It’s not true!

You are 100% on the money, just spent few days there.

I just got back a few weeks ago from Italy. We did a day trip from Sorrento to Salerno and did a boat trip up the Amalfi coast. My wife and I thought Sorrento was much nicer and not as compact as Amalfi. I'm definitely going back.

I drove it and it was NOT easy. Unless you’re a driver with 10 years experience I wouldn’t recommend.

I hate all these backwards tips, like "don't forget to not try the seafood" or "be sure to not check to make sure if you do or do not have comfortable shoes, or not."

Great job. Lots of good tips.

Thanks so much🎉😊

Hi, Wolter! Can you suggest a company or people who can be hired as guide when visiting the Amalfi Coast?

9/29/2024 just returned from 9 day trip to italy. Capri, Almalfi port totally destroyed by hundreds of cheap trinket stores and ferries bringing thousands upon thousands of international tourist! AWFUL!!!!!! All they serve is pizza and pasta who can eat just pizza and pasta oh and chicken fingers! Its a total tourist trap!!! Ill never ever go back! Oh and Naples how dare their government allow graffiti on every church and bldg!!!! Its a total disgrace!!!

I wish I could post my recent photos ro show people not to go here!!!

The place is very good, but luckily I saw this video to know a lot of information about it, especially in the matter of driving, I might have a little trouble there

Water taxi is great for the Amalfi coast. Even with a car, it is best. You are at the water, not walking down from parking somewhere, if that is even possible.

Love your channel. Thanks for the advice.

How is the weather during last week of November ..? I am planning Rome, Pisa, Florence and Venice during last week of November to first week of December. Needed your suggestion on the weather, if it's ok to visit Amalfi during late November.
