What to see in Ravello
Villa Rufolo
Terraced gardens over the Gulf of Salerno and the stage of the Ravello Festival; opening hours on the official site.
Villa Cimbrone and the Terrace of Infinity
A walk to the end of the ridge for the belvedere with its marble busts and a sheer view of the coast.
The Duomo and Piazza Vescovado
The cathedral square, the heart of the town, a few steps from the bus stop.
How do you get to Ravello from Vietri sul Mare?
By SITA bus: the coastal line to Amalfi, then the Scala–Ravello–Amalfi line up the valley, 85 min on board, plus the wait at Amalfi. In good weather, the ferry to Amalfi makes the first part of the journey by sea.
Is there a ferry to Ravello?
No: Ravello is about 350 m above the sea. Ferries stop at Amalfi and Minori below it; from Amalfi a bus climbs to Ravello in about 25 minutes.
How much time do you need in Ravello?
Three to four hours for Villa Rufolo, Villa Cimbrone and the square; longer with lunch. By bus, leaving Vietri at 09:00 and back by 19:00 leaves about 7 hours.
