Salerno Italy travel vlog, Amalfi Coast affordable travel tips, old town & a great botanical garden

Thank you everyone for watching🤗What do you think of this beautiful city? Let me know in the comments if you have any kind of questions and don’t forget to subscribe for more travel content ;) Salerno is one of the most authentic Italian cities that is amazing and it has everything you want from a city. Salerno boasts a charming historic center with narrow cobblestone streets, medieval buildings, and bustling piazzas. We can explore landmarks such as the Salerno Cathedral (Duomo), a stunning Romanesque cathedral housing the tomb of Saint Matthew, and the Arechi Castle, a hilltop fortress offering panoramic views of the city and the sea.
This Italian city situated at the begining of the Amalfi Coast has a diversity of restaurants with very delicious and affordable food, best pizza in Italy and best coffee shops. Salerno is known for its rugged cliffs, picturesque villages, and crystal-clear waters. We can explore the stunning coastline by boat, take scenic drives along the winding coastal road, or relax on beautiful beaches such as Spiaggia di Vietri sul Mare and Spiaggia di Santa Teresa.
Even though I didn’t eat in this vlog, I ate lots of times in Salerno because js a paradise for food lovers, with a rich culinary tradition that celebrates fresh seafood, locally grown produce, and traditional Mediterranean flavors. We can all can enjoy delicious dishes such as “scialatielli ai frutti di mare” (seafood pasta), “mozzarella di bufala” (buffalo mozzarella), and “sfogliatella” (a traditional pastry filled with ricotta cheese and candied fruit).
Salerno serves as a gateway to the Amalfi Coast, making it an ideal base for exploring nearby attractions such as the charming villages of Amalfi, Positano, and Ravello, as well as the archaeological ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Salerno is the cheapest location if you want to visit the Amalfi Coast and you can easily get on every city on the Amalfi Coast by boat or bus. Salerno doesn’t get the love that It needs in Italy but it is one of the Italian cities in Campania region with a panoramic promedade, it’s an Italian medieval town with a magnificent cathedral and rich history. Salerno has a charming gritty personality and it compliments the Amalfi Coast perfectly.
I’m in pove with Salerno because it offers a perfect blend of history, culture, natural beauty, and gastronomy, making it a captivating destination for all of us travel lovers exploring the enchanting Amalfi Coast and the surrounding region of Campania.
Things to do in Salerno apart from visiting the Amlfi Coast:
1. Explore the Old Town: Wander through the narrow streets of Salerno’s historic center, lined with medieval buildings, charming cafes, and artisan shops. Don’t miss the Cathedral of Saint Matthew and the beautiful Church of San Giorgio( I missed them in this vlog).
2. Visit the Salerno Cathedral: This impressive cathedral, dedicated to Saint Matthew, features a stunning medieval facade and houses the tomb of the apostle Matthew.
3. Stroll along the Lungomare Trieste: Take a leisurely walk along Salerno’s waterfront promenade, offering panoramic views of the sea and the Amalfi Coast( one of my favourte things to do In Salerno ).
4. Relax at the Giardino della Minerva: Explore this peaceful botanical garden, known for its medicinal plants and stunning views of the city(my favourite place in Salerno).
5. Discover Castello di Arechi: Perched on a hill overlooking Salerno, this medieval castle offers panoramic views of the city and the Gulf of Salerno. Explore its ancient walls, towers, and exhibits.
6. Day trip to the Amalfi Coast if you’re not going for longer a day trip is a good option too. Salerno serves as a convenient base for exploring the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, with its picturesque towns like Amalfi, Positano, and Ravello, all within easy reach by bus or ferry.
7. Enjoy local cuisine: Indulge in delicious Campanian cuisine at Salerno’s restaurants and trattorias. Don’t miss specialties like fresh seafood, buffalo mozzarella, and limoncello.
8. Relax on the beaches: Spend a day soaking up the sun on one of Salerno’s beautiful beaches, such as Spiaggia di Santa Teresa or Spiaggia di Vietri sul Mare.
Whether you’re interested in history, art, or simply soaking up the Mediterranean atmosphere, Salerno offers something for everyone to enjoy. I’m in love with this place in South of Italy, can’t say it enough.

[@4kcitytours]

Hey, I came here to check out the budget friendly tips for visiting Amalfi coast, and I was surprised by your beautiful smile. (not as beautiful as those coffee tables, though 😉). I read that setting your base in Sorrento is better, and from there you can check out the whole Amalfi coast. What do you think? I am planning on a 2-3 week tour of Italy, and I am coming from Rome - Naples, and then Amalfi coast. Very nice vlog btw... cute hat.... but those coffee tables... pfff🙂

[@lucyelamihatravels]

😂😂😂thank you, the coffee tables are the best😂😂😂I think that staying in Sorrento it’s the best because you’re so close to everything, all the cities on the Amalfi Coast but also just half an hour from Capri Island, Procida Island, Ischia Island, I’m excited for you, I hope you’ll have the best time of your life 🤗thank you very much for the compliments, I really appreciate it🥰

[@SouliPaspaporn]

Ok, I know this vid was from a while ago, but that hat is fantastic! where is it from???

[@lucyelamihatravels]

Ahh♥️thank you so much♥️I got it from TK Maxx from London last year🥰😊♥️♥️

[@sharonjessen814]

I came across your vlog and I thought your hat and smile was gorgeous. Hubby and I are going to be in Salerno in May, and staying in the old city area, and can't wait. Thanks for showing us this wonderful area to explore. Are there many choices of boat tours to Positano, are some more affordable that others?

[@lucyelamihatravels]

Thank you so much🤗🤗I’m very happy for you guys, I hope you’ll enjoy it a lot, May is amazing to visit Salerno and the Amalfi Coast, the good news is that the prices for boats are reduced as it’s off season so from 15th of June if a boat ticket from Salerno to Positano is 18€, in May will be 12€/14€ one way, not sure if they increased prices this year, I’m going as well at the end of April and I’ll keep you updated about the prices, all the boat companies charge the same. There are a lot of options from June to September, but off season the service is a bit reduced so not that many, but still enough rides per day so you can visit everywhere🤗

[@sharonjessen814]

@@lucyelamihatravels Thank you so much for replying, so I don't need to book or anything? That's great, I look forward to hearing about your trip in April then. Cheers Sharon

[@lucyelamihatravels]

I’m happy to hear that, it’s not very popular in Italy but I think that it’s so beautiful, what did you like the most?

[@janetlombardi2314]

@@lucyelamihatravels It's a very comfortable small city easy to find your way around. A very convenient area with everything close by. It has a great central station. Very good shopping. I love the new port. Lungo mare. Great coffee bars and food. Walking in the old part it has so much character. The church and the Duomo is a must visit. A very good base to live permanently or to explore as a tourist. I will return

[@lucyelamihatravels]

@@janetlombardi2314 that’s great that you wanna go back, I’m so happy that you enjoyed everything, you’re right, it’s such a great base to explore other places as well and so much affordable than staying on the coast. And the old town as you said it shows the real italian culture and it’s full of hidden gems, I need to go back and see the Duomo as I didn’t get a chance to visit it, and yes, the food is👌🤌😂

[@Nehagupta-rl1ve]

Nice video. Can you please suggest me cheapest places to stay in Salerno for 1month

[@lucyelamihatravels]

Thank you, I’m glad that you like it, unfortunately I can’t suggest you one specific place as prices change all the time, I would probably just check on booking and airbnb and see what I could find, and probably the prices in September are much lower than in July or August, Salerno is a small city and quite walkable so the accomodation doesn’t necesarly need to be in the centre of the city, I hope that’s a bit helpful🤗

@@lucyelamihatravels thanks for the advice! And a last question! Salerno or sorrento? Which is better?

[@lucyelamihatravels]

@@nikosbn7079 Sorrento is better because you’re close to Procida Island as well, Ischia Island and Capri Island, one hour from Positano only, Salerno is only close to Amalfi and Ravello, check them all out and decide where you wanna go, you need minimum a week I think or more, but you’ll find Salerno a bit cheaper than Sorrento, it depends how much you want to spend, you can ask how many questions you want, I’m happy to help with any info, Imm going next week to Procida Island so I’ll do a short vlog from there too if you want to check it out
