Positano is for photos. Amalfi is for living.
Plan your trip →Pastel cascade down a cliff. Iconic view. Designer boutiques. €200–400/night. Tiny beach. Steps everywhere. Not walkable for mobility issues. Beautiful and expensive in equal measure.
The historic capital of the Amalfi Republic. Cathedral (€3), Cloister of Paradise. More flat (relatively). Bus hub for the coast. €120–250/night. More restaurants at normal prices.
Positano: 1 night for the sunset. Amalfi: 2–3 nights as a coast base. Budget move: stay in Amalfi, bus to Positano for a day.
