A charming town on a breathtaking coastline that attracts countless visitors all year round.
This small town acts as a magnet for tourists.
Amalfi is known for several things, including its beautiful cathedral (Duomo), exquisite lemons, the invention of the compass (bussola) and its undeniable charm.
In addition, the city is well known for its signature sandals and the famous liquor Limoncello.
Gastronomic features
Of course, the main attraction is the Cathedral, but if you're into Italian coffee shop culture, there's a place waiting for you next door: the historic Bar Andrea Panza.
This place is like a time machine, and it has been around since the 1850s, back in the era of the grand tour, when rich European nobles came here.
The history and aroma of a freshly brewed cafe floats between the walls. Owned by the Pans family for many generations, it is a real gem with a rich history.
Sorbet is a typical Italian dessert.
Its granulated ice, infused with the tangy essence of Amalfi lemons, is perfectly blended with water, sugar and lemon juice.
Amalfi lemons are known for being sweeter and juicier than regular lemons. They also grow larger than ordinary lemons.
The local variety is called Sfusato Amalfitano. When visiting the Amalfi Coast, you should also try limoncello, a popular liqueur made from these types of lemons.
It is worth trying during your vacation on the Amalfi Coast. One sip will instantly transport you to the magical world of Dolce Vita!
