What to do and see in Amalfi Coast, Campania: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day
Stretching along the southern side of Italy's Sorrentine Peninsula, the Amalfi coast dazzles with its mysterious grottos, craggy cliffs and shimmering bays. Grab a seat on the sea side of a regional bus to soak up views on the fabled route from artsy Positano to Amalfi. Ravello offers some respite from the crowds, plus the stunning Villa Cimbrone, which overlooks the Bay of Salerno. The historic section of Sorrento has winding streets filled with craftspeople. Capri is only a hydrofoil or ferry ride away.

Every Wednesday and Saturday at 9pm, AMALFI MUSICAL tells a story set in ninth century about the rise of first Republic of Amalfi. Through the story of Antonio and Giovanna's love, thwarted by perfidious city's persecutor Sicardo, the show tells the story of Amalfi's liberation from bloodthirsty Lombard supremacy. The performance is in Italian language with surtitles in English and other languages. Reservation required.

I was wandering around the Amalfi Duomo on a Saturday and this info booth just caught my eyes with musical flyers (I'm kind of a musical fan). The lady in charge of the booth told me the show was fully booked for the night but I could come at 9pm as stand-by and probably some no-shows would turn up, and I did get a spot! I didn't even realize it was a free show until they gave me my ticket! A free musical performance provided on the Amalfi coast is indeed "epic" and thoughtful for people to get to know a bit of the history of the place in a theatric way. The music and the singing are quite good (I actually cried over some of the songs), and the tension of the acting is quite intense as well. The atmosphere is quite unique thanks to the venue that's over a millennium-old. It reminds me a bit of the new French version of Romeo & Juliet for those who have seen it, which I am a big fan of. For me personally it's absolutely an overachieving event to stumble on :)

Great little garden connected with the Duomo. Great for looking at old frescoes and original mosaics. And bell tower, of course. Amazing.

I know, I know. A paper museum? But this spot is truly fascinating! The paper mill has been operating since the 13th century and the tour gives you a great overview of the techniques used to make paper from that time onward- from the manual cotton presses to the water-powered pulp mills to the electric mills of more modern times. What's more, you can actually see demonstrations of these massive devices as they would have been used centuries ago! Our tour guide switched seamlessly between English and Italian and we had no problems following the demonstrations. We even got a free paper sample at the end, and the gift shop has some lovely items, including pressed flowers, notebooks and personalized wax seals. The surrounding neighbourhood is quite picturesque, as well, and it's worth a jog up the road from the marina.

Purchased a beautiful set, as pictured, and it arrived in perfect shape just a few days after my return to the US. Looking forward to a lifetime of remembering Ravello with these handmade treasures.

In the Piazza de Duomo in Amalfi you see the steps leading up to the Amalfi Cathedral (Cattedrale Di Sant Andrea) dedicated to the apostle St. Andrew . If you feel fit enough to walk up the steps ( and there are many) it is well worth a visit. The structure dates back to the 9th century and has been changed/ enhanced over many centuries. Reportedly the remains of StAndrew were brought to the Cathedral in the 13th Century. It is a beautiful space and the crypt houses many artifacts. A word of advice is that many school groups visit the cathedral on a daily basis so it might be worth timing your visit for early morning or late afternoon when it is quieter.

We had a lovely vineyard tour and delicious lunch/wine-tasting at this exquisite winery in Tramonti. Really appreciate the care and attention this four family-owned vineyard puts into their products. We enjoyed all their wines so much we even ordered a case to be shipped home.
