Getting to The Coast
you can either fly directly into Naples (the closest airport to Amalfi) or you can fly into Rome and travel to Amalfi from here.
Flight
Capodichino International Airport
From Naples Airport Closest Airport to the Venue: Capodichino International Airport, Naples, Italy For a hassle-free experience, we recommend traveling directly from Naples Airport to Amalfi via taxi or private car. This option ensures a seamless journey with minimal planning. Alternatively, you can travel from Naples Airport by train. To do so, you’ll need to take a cab from Naples Airport to Naples Centrale Train Station to catch the train. However, keep in mind that the train only goes as far as Sorrento. From there, you’ll need to arrange another cab or private car transfer to Amalfi. Given the additional steps involved, we suggest opting for a car—whether taxi or private transfer—for convenience. If you're traveling with a group, this option is often more economical as well.
Flight
Rome-Fiumicino "Leonardo Da Vinci" Airport. Rome, Italy.
The nearest airport with direct flights from the U.S. is Rome-Fiumicino "Leonardo Da Vinci" Airport in Rome, Italy. Flying into Rome is the most budget-friendly option for reaching the Amalfi Coast. For the most direct journey, consider booking a private car transfer—ideal for groups comfortable with a longer drive. Alternatively, we recommend taking the train, a convenient and popular choice for most travelers.

Where to Stay
Deciding between Amalfi, Ravello, and Atrani comes down to your personal preferences and the kind of experience you're seeking. Amalfi and Ravello are about 20-25 minutes apart, each boasting its own unique charm, stunning views, and unforgettable moments on the Amalfi Coast. Atrani is a charming, small coastal town on Italy's Amalfi Coast, located just a short walk or drive from Amalfi, its larger and more famous neighbor. Atrani boasts a quieter and more intimate atmosphere compared to Amalfi, making it a serene escape from the busier tourist hubs.In relation to Ravello, Atrani serves as the coastal complement to Ravello's hillside perch. While Ravello offers stunning views and a more elevated, cultural experience with its historic villas and gardens, Atrani provides access to the sea and embodies the essence of a traditional Italian coastal town. Our wedding "weekend" will take place mainly in Amalfi however our welcome party will be hosted in Atrani, so you will get to experience the best of both no matter where you choose to stay. With that, we recommend reading the descriptions below and picking the town / accommodations that best suit your preferences and needs.
