Naples and Amalfi coast full day tour from Rome

From Rome you will drive to Naples and start with a visit to “Spaccanapoli”, Via San Gregorio Armeno, Piazza San Domenico, Piazza del Gesù with the Church of Gesù Nuovo and the Basilica of Santa Chiara (the largest Gothic church in Naples). Continue to visit the monumental area and see the Piazza Plebiscito, where you can see the Royal Palace and the Church of San Francesco di Paola. Then head to Via Toledo, where you will be able to admire the splendid Galleria Umberto I, and on to Piazza Municipio, where there is the imposing Angevin fortress of Castle Nuovo. You will have the opportunity to make a brief stop in a former bakery to taste the famous “sfogliatella.” After this visit and a break, in the afternoon your guide will drive you to Amalfi. The Amalfi Coast is known for being the land of the orange blossoms and lemon trees. Enjoy the saltiness of the marvelous beaches and the wildest Mediterranean scrub, arranged in a vertical manner, together with the houses overlooking the sea and hidden in the maze of picturesque alleys. It is like a cluster of white houses, clinging to the rocks and connected by covered alleys and stairways. At the center of the main square is the Cathedral of Sant'Andrea with the spectacular staircase and the bell tower in Arab-Norman style. Your journey will continue visiting the splendid Positano, one of the most famous places on the Amalfi Coast, for its suggestive staircases and the whitewashed houses that follow the mountains course, creating a vertical landscape. Appreciated by artists and jet-set characters since the early post-war, the town is famous for the production of leather sandals,cotton and linen clothes and for the beautiful Majolica.
