The Amalfi Coast is a very beautiful place to visit; it has gorgeous locations, and the local food is delicious. Traveling between Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, and Capri is very easy. It's worth staying at least 5 days. I arrived from Naples by bus, and it was a good option; everything is very safe.

We spent a week on the Amalfi Coast and visited Sorrento, Naples, Capri, and took a boat trip along the coast to reach the small towns. It was beautiful, but I wouldn't go there again. There are so many people. Driving along the coast was, let's say, a challenge. The roads themselves weren't that bad, but the traffic was a nightmare. It was not possible to stop in any of the towns along the way because there simply were no available parking spaces. If you're going to this area in summer (we were there at the end of August), do yourself a favor and take a boat trip to see the towns.

Solo travel

I was on the Amalfi Coast and felt super safe there. Really friendly people and also a small place, you can walk around it and it's incredibly beautiful. I highly recommend visiting this place.

Solo travel

I stayed in 2 hotels in Sorrento, and from there I took a train trip to Pompeii, a boat trip to Capri and a one-day (bus) trip to Positano. Sorrento is a beautiful small town with plenty of restaurants and shops.

I spent a week on the Amalfi Coast last year. We set up base in Sorrento because it was much cheaper and we only did day trips to Capri/Amalfi/Positano/Ravello/Pompeii/Vesuvius Volcano etc! Restaurants etc. are also much cheaper in Sorrento than in Positano.
