Orientation

Amalfi is shaped like an upside-down T: its base lying on the waterfront and its thin center extending slightly uphill. It’s all easily walkable in an hour. Piazza Flavio Gioia (the bus and boat hub) leads into Piazza Duomo, which funnels into the narrow Via Lorenzo d’Amalfi and Via Pietro Capuano. These two central thoroughfares are lined with merchants, small food shops, and cafes; while most of the nicer restaurants can be found up steps on either side; look for signs. Corso delle Repubbliche Marinare runs along the coast and becomes Via Pantaleone Comite. Follow this road to get to neighboring Atrani, a 10min. walk around the large cliff. Atrani’s much quieter center is located down a circular ramp in Piazza Umberto.
