Best Month to Visit the Amalfi Coast
By Tully Luxury Travel | 04-17-2024 |
Traveling to Italy’s Amalfi Coast is a scintillating European adventure, a landmark checkmark on the long list of places you definitely want to see. And while luxury vacations to Italy are myriad and can take you to glorious regions in the north and the south, a trip to Amalfi Coast has both the coastal glamor, the historic heft and the urban environments of nearby Naples. When you go depends on your tolerance for crowds, your calendar availability and your budget.
The best season to visit Amalfi Coast
Lucky for you – there are two! The best time to travel to Amalfi Coast are the two shoulder seasons, spring and fall – April and May, and September and October. These months see plenty of sun with comfortable temperatures and little rain – perfect for afternoons outside and long walks on the beach. May and September temperatures are around 80º F, with few to no heavy showers.
In May, the region’s lemon groves begin to bloom, triggering the spring festivals that occur during this time. The temperatures in spring can reach around 72º F. And although temperatures in Amalfi Coast in October start to dip, the autumn days are still very pleasant, with the harvest season yielding plenty of local foods to enjoy.
If you visit during the summer months
Summer is high season on the Amalfi Coast – and not just with the tourists, but also with local families who want to relax at the beach, too, particularly in August. The energy at this time is at an all-time high, the narrow streets vibrant and bustling. Despite the crowds, many people travel here at this time for the stunning views, colorful architecture and great food. July and August see practically perfect beach weather, with temperatures reaching almost to 90º F. That said, the sea breezes keep the coastline much cooler than regions inland.
