When to visit

The best time to visit Positano is during the spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) when the weather is mild and the crowds are smaller. Summer (July to August) is the peak tourist season with hot temperatures and crowded beaches. Winter (November to March) is the low season with cooler weather and some businesses closed.

Getting around

In Positano, the best way to get around is on foot due to its steep and narrow streets. Visitors can also use the local bus service to travel between towns along the Amalfi Coast. Taxis and private drivers are available for longer journeys or day trips to nearby attractions. Boat tours are a popular way to explore the coastline and visit neighboring islands.

Traveller tips

Be prepared for lots of walking and wear comfortable shoes as the streets in Positano can be steep and uneven. Make sure to try the local seafood dishes and limoncello, a lemon liqueur popular in the region. It's a good idea to book accommodations in advance, especially during the peak summer months. Don't forget to pack sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the strong Mediterranean sun. Lastly, be respectful of the local culture and customs, including dressing modestly when visiting churches or religious sites.
