Arrival in Salerno

Now, without further ado, let’s dive into the best experiences that will make your stay unforgettable. Are you ready? Let’s begin…

Getting to Salerno is not complicated, but among the many options, the most romantic is definitely by sea!

A peaceful journey, lulled by the waves of the Mediterranean, will set the tone for an adventure filled with discovery and wonder.

Once you reach the port, the scent of the sea and the salty breeze will accompany you as you stroll from Piazza della Libertà along Lungomare Trieste, one of the most beautiful promenades in Europe.

Hand in hand, capture stunning photos of the panoramic views, but don’t linger too long, the sun will light your way only until you reach Via Duomo.

As you step into the charming alleyways, you’ll find boutiques, cafés, and restaurants waiting to be discovered. If the walk starts to wear you out, don’t hesitate to take a break in a local café.

A must-try? A refreshing lemon granita, the perfect way to cool off and enjoy a true taste of Salerno!

Now, back to Via Duomo, where, after a few meters, you’ll find yourself in front of an imposing Cathedral.

Inside lies the crypt of Saint Matthew, the city’s patron saint.

Regardless of your beliefs, this stunning example of Romanesque art is well worth a visit.

Leaving the cathedral, continue along Via Torquato Tasso, a maze of charming streets.

But don’t worry, just walk straight ahead and immerse yourself in the city’s real essence, beyond the usual tourist façade.

At the end of the street, you’ll reach the Giardino della Minerva,

a historic garden with rare plants and breathtaking views of the city.

Originally a medieval botanical garden, it was used by students of the Salerno Medical School for educational purposes.

Thanks to private investments, it has been restored to its former glory and continues to serve its original purpose today.

By now, you and your partner must be hungry!

The day goes on

Make your way down Via Fusandola, and as you descend the stone steps, you’ll hear the unexpected sound of rushing water, yes, there’s a waterfall right in the heart of the historic center!

But let’s get back to our goal: a delicious lunch.

Once you reach Via Roma, one of the city’s main streets, you’ll find plenty of great dining options.
