A complete walking itinerary through Amalfi.

✅ Morning (8:30 AM) – The Heart of Amalfi

Piazza Duomo

Start your day with a coffee and a sfogliatella at Pasticceria Andrea Pansa, right in front of the Duomo. The square is peaceful in the early morning and perfect for taking iconic photos.

Amalfi Cathedral + Crypt of Saint Andrew + Cloister of Paradise

Climb the scenic staircase.

Admire the Arab-Norman façade and visit the interior.

Go down to the crypt, where the relics of Saint Andrew are kept (a sacred and very atmospheric site).

Visit the cloister with its white columns and inner gardens.

Recommended duration: 1 hour

✅ 10:00 AM – Fountains, History, and Tradition

Fountain of Saint Andrew

Located right in front of the Duomo staircase, an 18th-century fountain depicting Saint Andrew. Great photo spot!

Cap 'e Ciuccio Fountain

A bit more hidden, along the side alleys. Quirky and handcrafted, with nativity scene elements.

Arsenal of the Amalfi Republic

A small free museum that tells the maritime history of Amalfi, located in the town’s old shipyard. Interesting and never crowded.

Ruga Nova Mercatorum (Via dei Mercanti)

The main shopping street, full of limoncello shops, ceramics, and souvenirs.

Rione Vagliendola

Get lost in this quiet neighborhood of narrow streets, artisan shops, and small authentic corners. Here you’ll feel the true local Amalfi.

A small square with a fountain and statue dedicated to the famous Amalfitan navigator. A brief stop.

Paper Museum (Museo della Carta)

An actual working medieval paper mill where you can discover Amalfi’s tradition of handmade paper.
