How safe is Salerno?

it's really safe because it's a not a big city compared to others. We can call it a much safer Napoli. Salerno it's a simple city, has beaches, beautiful sunsets and a lot of bar, restaurants and food. There is not a lot of night life and it's also the reason why it's very quiet. Personally I walk 1 hour to home alone at 3am and never had problems

Salerno is a beautiful and very quiet city!! It is ideal if you want to explore the Amalfi Coast, you can base yourself in Salerno (because it's cheaper to stay there) and then explore the coast during the day! Here are some tips for Salerno! Places to visit: - Duomo di Salerno —> the cathedral. - Lungomare: stroll around there. Santa Teresa is the small beach of Salerno - Villa Comunale and the bar area of Santa Teresa (where King Cross is) also good for walking - The Corso. There are shops. - Castello di Arechi To get around Salerno: mostly walking, or buses but they're kind of unreliable. Bus tickets can be bought physically or with an app. For motorbike rental: Turirent Supermarkets: Sole 365 the cheapest nearby: Via Costantino l'Africano, 19, 84100 Salerno SA, Italy If you go to the supermarket you can order small sandwiches!!! I recommend stracciatella and prosciutto crudo. GASTRONOMIC TOUR: 🍦Nettuno Ice Cream: favorite flavors (Capriccio di Nettuno —> pistachio and white chocolate, really good // Hazelnut flavors are also tasty if you like them // Fruit flavors like melon are excellent! Also strawberry and forest fruits) ☕️The Coffeelate Portanova: crema caffè (it's like iced coffee) ☕️ Embarcadero: it's a really fancy bar but having a coffee is quite affordable 🍕Umberto Falcone Pizzeria (my favorites: 4 formaggi, arruscata) 🍕Criscemunno Pizzeria 🍝Al Dente Spaghetteria 🍱 Banzai: sushi place, you order a drink and get 8 pieces of sushi for free 🥐Zio Savino: try the graffa (large, good for sharing. Filled with pistachio, I recommend) and the cornetto 🍦From the supermarket: try the pistachio gruvi, I recommend them but they're all tasty (ice creams)

I stopped in Salerno because it was super easy to do day trips along the coast. It took 30 minutes to get to Amalfi by boat, and about an hour to Positano. I used Salerno as a base because it was the cheapest accommodation I could find in the area. I considered Sorrento, but it was significantly more expensive.
