On-the-ground planning in Amalfi Coast
Drivers need Amalfi drive permits; coaches are restricted—quotes should say private car, not coach, for most FIT.
Anchor one slow morning for markets or waterfront coffee, then schedule monuments before lunch crowds. Evening plans should respect when kitchens open—agencies worth hiring send named restaurants, not ‘free evening’.
When to go
May–June and September; July–August traffic is severe.
