Best Time to Visit Amalfi Coast, Italy

When to go to Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast has one road. It cannot handle peak summer. The early-June and late-September shoulders give you the same sea, the same lemon-tree air, and half the traffic. November to March is technically off-season: cheaper, but many hotels close and ferries thin out.

Tips for Amalfi Coast

Ferry from Sorrento to Positano beats driving. The coastal road is dramatic but slow.
Ravello sits above the coast and stays cooler in June. Book the Festival concerts.
August 15 (Ferragosto) is when all Italy hits the coast. Triple prices, double traffic.
