Practical Amalfi Coast transport guides for driving, ferries, buses, parking and getting between towns. Clear local planning advice for navigating the coast with fewer surprises.

The Amalfi Coast is surprisingly easy to visit without a car, but your base, luggage and season matter. Here’s where car-free travel works best — and where it can become frustrating.

Salerno is closest, Naples has the widest choice, and Rome can still work. Compare the real routes to Amalfi, Positano, Ravello and Sorrento before you book.

Private beach or just clever wording? Here are 7 Amalfi Coast hotels with real private beaches, coves or direct sea access — plus what the walk, lift and shoreline are actually like.

A practical 2026 guide to Amalfi Coast ferries: routes, ticket prices, ports, Capri connections, luggage rules, cancellations and when the ferry is better than the bus.
