If you’ve been dreaming of Italy’s Amalfi Coast, your first trip should be nothing short of unforgettable. Imagine terraced lemon groves cascading down cliffs, winding coastal roads revealing pastel villages, and the scent of citrus in the sea breeze. This 5-day Amalfi Coast itinerary blends must-see highlights with authentic, slow-travel moments, the kind that leave you with stories, not just snapshots.
And with Airial, you can map it all out in under a minute.
Why This Trip?
The Amalfi Coast is a bucket-list destination, but first-timers can easily get overwhelmed by the logistics. This route keeps you grounded in the essentials — Amalfi, Positano, Ravello — while weaving in lesser-known experiences like the Path of the Lemons and Vietri sul Mare’s ceramics. It’s the perfect balance of famous views and secret corners.
Trip Vibe / Who It’s For?
This trip is ideal for travelers seeking:
- A first-time Amalfi Coast experience without rushing
- Cultural depth through local food, history, and crafts
- A blend of scenic drives, walking routes, and boat rides
- Leisurely mornings and golden-hour views
Planning Tips / Local Advice
- Base yourself in Amalfi or Positano for easier transit.
- August–September is warm but slightly less crowded than peak July.
- Book lemon grove tours like the Amalfi Lemon Experience in advance — they’re small group and sell out.
- If driving, be prepared for narrow roads and limited parking; ferries are often faster.
