Highlights

Often people are in Salerno because it's a strategic point for visiting the Amalfi Coast, Pompei, Paestum etc. but Salerno is much more: it's a city full of history, art and traditions. Join this walking tour to discover the city's beauties with a local. I will show you the most touristic places of the city but also those less known that only with a local you can discover! This walk is easy and fun, we will start from the origins of the city, passing through the historic center where there are traces of the Middle Ages, to the modern part and we will finish where we started.

About Salerno

Salerno is a port city at the eastern end of the Amalfi Coast, with a Norman cathedral, a palm-lined seafront and a castle on the hill above.

Salerno curves around a gulf with a long palm-lined waterfront, the Lungomare, and a medieval centre of narrow lanes behind it. The cathedral, begun in the eleventh century under the Norman duke Robert Guiscard, has an arcaded atrium and a tall bell tower, and the city was home to the Schola Medica Salernitana, one of the earliest medical schools in Europe. Above, Arechi Castle looks out over the bay.

Top-ranked sights in Salerno: Archaeological Park of Paestum (Parco Archeologico di Paestum), Salerno Cathedral (Duomo di Salerno).
