Day trips from Amalfi: 5 epic adventures

Some day trips repay the early train. Plenty don't. These 5 day trips from Amalfi are the ones that earn the hours, and each comes with an honest note on what you're really getting.

Ravello★ Tip: Bus departs from the harbor every 20 min in summer (€1.30). Or share a taxi (€20-25). The Infinity Terrace is busy 11am-4pm; go early or after 5pm. Directions
Positano (ferry day)★ Tip: If you only have one Amalfi day for Positano: go on the boat. The ferry approach to Positano is half the magic. Avoid driving the SS163 yourself. Directions
Capri★ Tip: Direct Amalfi-Capri ferries run April-October only. Off-season you'd need to transit via Sorrento. The boat trip itself, hugging the coast, is half the value. Directions
Book a TripPompeii + Vesuvius★ Tip: DIY is doable but tight: full day. Guided tour with both Pompeii + Vesuvius is the smarter use of an Amalfi day. Avoid August midday: the ruins reach 40°C. Directions
Salerno★ Tip: Salerno is also the train hub to Naples (35 min Frecciarossa). If you're flying out of Naples and want one more day, base in Salerno your last night: half the price, real city food. Directions
