Note: Some businesses may be temporarily closed due to recent global health and safety issues. Plan your travels along this spectacular drive with this handy visitors' guide to the top attractions of the Amalfi Coast. If you're driving, go east to west, so you'll be on the inside lane. One thing to remember: if you go by bus, go west to east, beginning in Sorrento, and try for a window seat on the right side of the bus. The town of Amalfi is the favorite stopping point, especially for travelers taking two days for the trip.

Carved into cliffs that are already cut by deep ravines, the road clings high above the Tyrrhenian Sea in a series of breathtaking views and curves bounded by almost vertical mountains rising on one side and long vertical drops on the other.
