Welcome to Salerno
Often ignored in the mad dash to the Amalfi Coast, the port city of Salerno has a charmingly timeworn old town that is worth a look. Travelers passing through the cruise ship harbor and rail terminal can pause to explore the city’s medieval churches and waterfront promenade before heading north on a shore excursion or day trip to Positano, Amalfi, and other fishing villages on the Amalfi Coast; setting sail for a boat tour around the island of Capri; or taking a leap into ancient history at Pompeii and Paestum.
