any other tips.
very thankful really.Honeymoon in Amalfi Coast ?
The weather will be in the 70s or cooler, pack for both. Your budget is okay as long as you remain conscious of what your spending daily. By the way $1000 USD = $600 Euros. Google amalfi coast budget hotels. I say if its your honeymoon, go aLL out!!! Then budget when you come home. Italy is the best place in the world to be! My favorite main attraction in Amalfi is the gorgeous mountains and the sparkling coastline and emerald green seas. Also have yourself some Gelateria = Gelato = Italian Icecream. My favorite is Tiramisu or Biscotti. You can get more then one flavor at a time. Most locals do it that way and if you dont they will know your a tourist. Dress sophisticated sexy and you will when them all. Negotiate flat rate with a taxi before entering, they will try to rip you off. They love euros. Smile have a good time and remember everything is closed in italy from 1pm-7pm (except for gelato shops and cafes) for a ceasta. So eat a big lunch or breakfast! Hope I helped. You will love Italy.

Amalfi Coast Italy, getting around?
I will probably be staying in Sorrento (unless anyone has a better suggestion) and will be taking the bus to visit the other towns and villages and inside Sorrento as well.
Where can i find information on bus rides, price, scheduals? Is there a bus that can take you from one town to another? From Sorrento to Positano to Ravello etc. and back?
I will be staying for a week, is there a weekly bus pass or region pass that gives you unlimited access to buses?
Also any other suggestions and advice on visiting the Amalfi coast is very appreciated.
Thank youAmalfi Coast Italy, getting around?
Yes you can get a bus to all those places it is not expensive and I am almost sure they run hourly.
You buy the tickets at the local newpaper shops then cancel them as you board the bus. Just ask when you get there, you will soon find some one who speaks English. You can get heavily fined for bumming a ride free so don't try it. Your hotel reception will be only too pleased to explain where everything is. You can NOT pay the driver.
There is a very good and efficient network of public transport, the trains are great too and if you want to go to Pompeii the train calls into the site. Herculaneum I think is better but is less well known, it is smaller, more compact. Just walk straight down the street from the train station, it seems a long way because you are in a strange place but it is not that far. Plenty of guide books in English around for you to buy and study when you get there, not too expensive.
Sorrento is great, if you can find the 'Foreigners Club'. It has magnificent views where you can sit and watch whilst enjoying. a glass or three of wine. Cheaper during the day than the evening the cost of food and drink is nearly twice as much at night but there is usually operatic style entertainment.
Try a ferry trip to Capri as well, it is a beautiful island. Very select.
Every thing is simple enough, it is a bit hilly so I hope you are fit and reward yourself with the ice cream..wonderful. Eating out can be expensive and in Italy they can charge extra if you sit down rather than stand up and have a coffee. Plenty of good food to be found in bakeries to buy and sit and eat on a park bench.
We even managed to get the train to Naples, and got around the city. We were warned it was 'not safe' but I think it was the tour reps wanting us to pay for excursions.
There are not any beautiful sandy beaches to sit on nor is there much in the way of 'night life' as there is in some resorts, it is a very refined place 00Amalfi Coast Italy, getting around?
There are bus and ferry schedules here: http://www.amalficoastweb.com/amalfi/eng鈥?/a>
While you're there, be sure to take the train from Sorrento to Pompeii. You'll want the Pompei Scali Villa Misteri stop. The entrance to the ruins is right across the street from the train station.

Where is the finest restaurant on the Amalfi Coast in Italy?
L'Antica Trattoria in Sorrento is fantastic. It's not Michelin-starred or anything, but they are known for their great food. Dinner runs about EUR 35-40 plus wine. I had a wonderful six-course meal there when I was traveling around Campania. The staff were wonderfully sweet as well.Where is the finest restaurant on the Amalfi Coast in Italy?
It's the one on the cliff.
Well I don't know where but they are very expensive, especially in Positano!!!Where is the finest restaurant on the Amalfi Coast in Italy?
Hi,
My wife an I was driving around the Amalfi coast for one week two years ago and found that the best restaurants was found at the small cross roads outside the main tourist places along the coast.
I have to say that you'll find good restaurants everywhere along the coast but if you take some extra minutes "off-track" youll find the better ones..

Anyone have hotel recommendations for the amalfi coast?
im going there this summer!!! for a week. ive been there before and loved it and decided to go back again this summer. from what my plans are, my parents and bf are going by car (i live in florence) to a hotel not in amalfi but in some other little town close by. the reason why is because from my last experience, i went there not only to visit amalfi, but visit napoli, pompeii, capri, sorento, ecc which isnt all that close. in fact the trip before we went there only from camp ground to camp ground, this time (since my parents are coming) we are going to a hotel where its about a 20 min. distance from all the places we want to visit, (napoli, sorrento, pompeii, amalfi, ecc). i dont remmeber the hotel name since my bf did the reservations and all, but if your really want to know contact me and i can find out the name and so on. from what they told met he prices were 35 euros per person including breakfast and in fact, its not really a hotel, but more like a villa where usually wedding parties are set so its not exactly a hotel, but a place to stay. ive heard its beautiful never seen a pic, but a friend from the area recommended us and since its only 35 euros per person, we dont really consider it being extremly beautiful or not, if it is or isnt, we just need a good place to sleep and spend the entire time outside of it visitng everthing eles.
let me know if your interested, i can give you a hand.Anyone have hotel recommendations for the amalfi coast?

It really depends on two parameters: 1,. where do you want to be (Amalfi, Ravenna, Positano, etc.) and how much you want to spend. I would recommend Positano, and if money is no object, the Hotel Sirenuse. But if money is an factor, then check Tripadvisor.com. People like us give good candid remarks and ratings there.

Has anyone seen Weet-bix in Venice or somewhere on the amalfi coast?
You can find Weetabix in any major store, all over Italy I buy it regularly and eat it at breakfast with milk (have done since I was a schoolboy, Eons ago).
I live in Rome but travel all over Italy. never had a problem finding it.Has anyone seen Weet-bix in Venice or somewhere on the amalfi coast?
Yes - the Carrefour supermarkets often stock it.

Tips for visiting Amalfi coast, Italy?
Hi, is there anybody who could recommend best things to do whilst holidaying in the Amalfi coast? Also, would you say 7 nights there is too long? If so, what place would you recommend we split up our time in? I guess it would have to be a drivable distance from Naples.
Thanks!Tips for visiting Amalfi coast, Italy?
A week might be too long if you want to pack your days filled with activities. But if you wouldn't mind spending 3 days just lounging around, it's fine (and it's a nice place to lounge around).
The Amalfi coast is great. I recommend a boat trip to Capri (be sure to take a bus into the actual city). Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi are all wonderful cities to visit. If you visit Amalfi, be sure to take the bus up to Ravello...it's a nice village with an incredible view.
I recommend a trip to Pompeii. Yes, it's hot and dusty. But it's incredible. It's relatively cheap to hire a driver...and I bet you can enroll in a tour bus trip somewhere from the coast, which would be even cheaper.
If you want to be adventurous, stay a couple nights in Naples. It has great pizza and a couple of incredible museums. But beware of shady neighborhood and pick pocketers. Ischia, an island off the coast from Naples, is also suppose to be nice.
Rome is only a couple of hours from Naples and is easily accessible by train. Outside of Rome and the Amalfi Coast, there aren't many notable sites around Naples that I know of.Tips for visiting Amalfi coast, Italy?
Amalfi is nice, but I think that a week is a lot of time, if you are staying to rest, it's OK, you can have a lot of trips in the whereabouts, check with the Hotel: things to do vary almost every day.
