Positano to Ravello: how to go
Best ways to reach Ravello from Positano via Amalfi (bus + bus, or summer ferry + bus).
Via Amalfi
Take the SITA bus or seasonal ferry to Amalfi; buy tickets before boarding and allow time for queues.
Change at Amalfi (stand 5) for the Ravello bus, then walk about 10 minutes to Villas Rufolo and Cimbrone.
Gardens & villas
Villa Rufolo hosts concerts and terraces over the bay; Villa Cimbrone is famous for the Terrace of Infinity.

Timing & returns
Leave Positano early to dodge the hottest hours and busiest transfers.
Head back before sunset if you need daylight on the stairs or a guaranteed ferry.
Tips
- Carry water and snacks—options around the Amalfi bus station are limited and pricey.
- Wear comfortable shoes with grip for Ravello’s slopes and the walk between villas.
FAQs
Is the route family-friendly?
Yes with breaks and flexible pacing; strollers work only in Amalfi, not on Ravello’s stairs.
Can I combine Capri on the same day?
Possible but rushed—plan separate days so you actually enjoy both destinations.
