Amalfi Coast Day Tour from Rome

Full Day Positano and Amalfi Coast Tour by High-Speed Train and Boat from Rome

Colors, sea, and history along one of Italy's most celebrated coastlines — all in a single day from the capital.

This Amalfi Coast day tour from Rome combines the convenience of a high-speed train with a small-group boat journey along one of the most visually striking stretches of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The experience takes in Positano, Amalfi, and Sorrento in a single full day, with time for snorkeling, exploration, and a taste of the region's most iconic flavors.

Departing from Rome, the journey south by high-speed rail brings travelers to the gateway of the Campania coast in under two hours. From there, a modern boat accommodating no more than 12 passengers sets out along a coastline shaped by centuries of Mediterranean culture, clifftop villages, and turquoise coves.

The route passes the island of Li Galli-Nerano, the village of Praiano, and the dramatic Fiordo di Furore — a narrow sea gorge carved between limestone cliffs that has drawn artists and photographers for generations. Each stop offers a distinct character, from the vertical architecture of Positano to the medieval cathedral square of Amalfi and the terrace-lined promenades of Sorrento.

The day balances structured sightseeing with genuine free time, allowing travelers to wander, shop, and eat at their own pace. A tasting of Limoncello in Positano, the town credited with originating the lemon liqueur, is one of the informal highlights recommended along the way.

Tour Highlights

Travel from Rome to the Amalfi Coast aboard a high-speed train, covering the distance efficiently without the stress of driving coastal roads.

Board a private boat with a maximum of 12 passengers and cruise the Tyrrhenian Sea, passing landmarks including the Fiordo di Furore and the island of Li Galli-Nerano.

Snorkel in the clear waters of the Amalfi Coast and discover the underwater environment of one of southern Italy's most protected marine areas.

Explore the historic center of Amalfi, anchored by its striking cathedral at the top of a monumental staircase overlooking the main piazza.

Walk through Positano, where pastel-colored buildings cascade down steep hillsides to a pebbly beach at the water's edge.

Sample Limoncello in its hometown of Positano, the fresh lemon liqueur produced from the large lemons grown along the terraced hillsides of the Amalfi Coast.

Visit Sorrento, perched on a tuff terrace above the Gulf of Naples, with historic alleyways lined with traditional artisan shops and panoramic sea views.
