Walking Tour from Amalfi to Atrani
Embark on an unforgettable journey along the scenic Amalfi Coast with a full-day visit to the medieval towns of Amalfi and Atrani, two gems that exude history, charm, and breathtaking views. Begin your exploration in the heart of Amalfi, once the capital of an influential maritime republic. Walking through its historic core feels like stepping into a living museum, with preserved architecture dating back centuries. Discover narrow alleys, ancient towers, vaulted homes, chapels, and the elegant remains of aristocratic and merchant residences. Continue to Piazza Flavio Gioia, the town’s main square, and admire the surrounding medieval facades. A highlight of your visit will be the magnificent Cathedral of Sant’Andrea (the Duomo), a striking example of Arab-Sicilian architectural influence. The cathedral houses the relics of Saint Andrew, Amalfi’s patron saint, and reflects the city’s former importance as a center of commerce and religion. Nearby, stop at the Fountain of Sant’Andrea, an 18th-century marble fountain adorned with figures of sea creatures and the saint himself. After exploring the bustling market stalls filled with limoncello, local crafts, and souvenirs, venture into the adjacent village of Atrani, considered one of the smallest towns in Italy. Climb a scenic staircase that leads to the atmospheric cemetery of the ancient San Lorenzo Monastery, offering panoramic views over the coast. Wander through Atrani’s cozy streets until you reach the piazzetta, the town’s heart. Visit the historic Church of San Salvatore de’ Birecto, where medieval coronation ceremonies for doges once took place. This dual-town experience offers a perfect combination of architecture, culture, and sweeping coastal beauty.
