We loved wandering around the Centro Storico, peering down alleyways and into interesting nooks. This feels like an authentic old quarter and not a tourist trap done up to lure people in. There are no souvenir shops, just the kind of stores that local people use. It seemed to us that you couldn't go wrong walking into almost any of the charming restaurants. I can only hope that the increasing number of tourists in Salerno won't spoil the Centro Storico the way Amalfi seems to have been spoiled.
This is a very Italian city. A good choice for touring the area. It is on the main train line and has good bus and ferry services.
Atmosphere nice, lot of people on the streets and nice lights . Some nice restaurants . The boardwalk is nice . Not an easy parking around.
Great ambiance and shops. Lots of places to eat. Good prices. Beautiful and well maintained area. Very nice attendants.
When in Salerno make sure to set aside some time to wander around the old city. The cobblestones and narrow streets hold countless interesting shops,bars and restaurants from hi end to low end. Stroll the small alleys and discover even more interesting shops. A great way to spend a late afternoon
Take a walk round the narrow streets, shops and bars etc. Salerno itself is an ideal base to get the boat to the rest of the Amalfi coast or take the bus or train to other destinations, the stations are next to each other.
I liked the old historic centre of Salerno very much. There are narrow, tidy and cosy streets reminding me of old good Italian films with Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroiani. It is like going back to the past, about 50 years ago, when life was still calm and people have time enough for chatting to each other personally.
Lovely scenery and clear warm unspoilt beaches. Lots of interesting town's and quaint villages lovely fresh locally produced food.
This city has much to be proud of. They have maintained their old city and it is a wonderful place to explore and stroll through. We were surprised how much we enjoyed Salerno!
Walking along its narrow streets and alleys take you back to the past. Then you find hidden in them architectural gems, beautiful churches, high end stores and nice restaurants.
