Thanks to its Mediterranean climate, the region enjoys pleasant weather in the spring and fall—and these seasons are some of the best times of year to visit the Amalfi Coast. Fewer crowds mean you’ll have a more authentic experience and cooler temperatures help keep you comfortable when you’re out exploring.

July and August are the busiest times of the year for visitors, and also when summer temps are at their highest. That means perfect weather for beachgoers and a bustling social scene in Amalfi’s most popular sites like Positano. If you’re looking for a classic summer vacation and lots of nightlife activities, this is your perfect time for trips to the Amalfi Coast.

When you’re planning a trip to the Amalfi Coast, it’s good to know which must-visit sites you’ll want to see. Our Amalfi Coast tours visit the villages of Amalfi, Atrani, and Ravello, as well as cities like Naples and Sorrento. If you’re interested in taking a slower-paced vacation where you spend a lot of time outdoors, our walking tours of the Amalfi Coast are your perfect trip. That means you’ll enjoy small group tours of the Amalfi Coast, taking daily guided walks and spending time going off-the-beaten path to discover the region’s hidden gems.

However, if this is your first visit to Italy and you want to see more of the country, pick tours of the Amalfi coast that also hit Rome, Naples, and Milan to discover Italy from top to bottom.

Local eats along the Amalfi Coast, of course, include everyone’s favorite Italian fare—pizza and pasta—but there are regional specialties to keep an eye out for. Thanks to its coastal location, seafood is a popular addition to many tables. Spaghetti alle vongole, or spaghetti and clams, and spaghetti alla puttanesca with anchovies are two dishes to try. Towns around the Amalfi Coast are also famous for their buffalo-milk mozzarella cheese, as well as fresh lemons—and that means limoncello.

On all of our Amalfi Coast group tours, you’ll enjoy included meals that highlight some of the local cuisine. Plus, you can always ask your Tour Director for advice on what to eat in your free time— they know the best of the best everywhere!

The Amalfi Coast enjoys temperate Mediterranean weather in the spring and fall, when you may want to pack layers for warm afternoons and chilly nights. Remember that in the summer the weather can get very hot, so you’ll want breathable clothing as well as sun protection like a hat and sunglasses. We always recommend comfortable walking shoes for any tour—but that’s especially important if you’re traveling on walking tours of the Amalfi Coast. You may even want hiking boots, just to ensure you’ve got a good footing on rocky paths and gravel roads!

Of course, once you’ve booked one of our Amalfi Coast guided tours, you’ll receive a detailed packing list—plus all the rest of the info you need to get ready for your trip.
