Cultural holidays in the city of Salerno

Salerno
Salerno

Located in Campania, Salerno is the provincial capital and has about 140,000 inhabitants. It is a city able to offer those who visit culture, nature and fun.

Surrounded by the Picentino Mountains, the city welcomes the beneficial influence of the sea that makes it rather mild even in winter. You can reach Salerno in different ways. By car you have to take the Salerno/Reggio Calabria. It is not uncommon to find road transport companies that arrive in Salerno. The railway station also connects Salerno with fast trains at the forefront to the main Italian cities. As far as the airport is concerned, Pontecagnano does not yet have frequent and cheap flights available. Therefore, we recommend that you opt for a flight to Naples Capodichino. Alternatively, Salerno can also be reached by sea thanks to hydrofoils that connect the islands (Capri, Ischia, Procida) but also the entire Campania coast (especially in summer).

There are numerous cruise companies that have decided to include Salerno in their itineraries. The accommodation facilities are able to offer tourists everything they need. Hotels in town range from basic to luxury hospitality. The same is true for hotels located along the Salerno coast whether you opt for the sandy beaches of the Gulf of Policastro or if you opt for the rugged Amalfi Coast. There are numerous family-run bed and breakfasts while the hinterland is dotted with farmhouses that offer wellness or food and wine stays. The city of Salerno is undergoing urban restyling works in recent years. This does not take away from many places of historical and cultural interest. Among these stands out the Arechi Castle from which you can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view over the entire Gulf of Salerno. Get lost among the alleys of the Old Town liveable by day, with numerous shops and shops, and at night with the locals full of people having fun.

Salerno, in fact, is also nightlife. It is worth leaving the city center to go dancing in one of the clubs that in summer is set up on the beaches of the coast. Not only that.
