Thinking of taking a day trip to Positano? From hopping the ferry in Amalfi to wandering the iconic cliffside streets, here is how to spend the perfect day Positano on the Amalfi Coast!
On this episode of Mapping It, we’re taking you along for the ultimate Positano day trip. We start our journey by catching the ferry from Amalfi to Positano, giving us those legendary ocean views of the colorful pastel houses cascading down the cliffs.
Once on land, we’re hitting all the must-see spots, doing a little shopping for authentic Amalfi ceramics, local art, and famous Italian linen clothing, and visiting the historic Church of Santa Maria Assunta. We’ll also take you down to the bustling Spiaggia Grande beach, hunt down the best panoramic viewpoints in town, and sit down for an incredible cliffside lunch at Cafe Positano. Finally, we wrap up our adventure by taking the dramatic, winding SITA bus back to Amalfi.
Whether you’re planning your own Amalfi Coast itinerary or just looking for travel inspiration, this guide covers everything you need to know about exploring Positano in one day!

Thanks for watching our Positano day trip! 🇮🇹 If you're planning your own Amalfi Coast adventure, our #1 tip is to book that ferry ticket in advance during peak season to get those incredible water views! Also, consider making restaurant reservations to reduce your wait time if you have your heart set on a meal with a view. Where are you heading on your next vacation? Let us know below! 👇
What a delightful video of your time in Positano! It really does look picture perfect, and your joy and laughter are contagious. Thanks for yet another fun excursion to a truly beautiful place!
Love watching your videos! So good to see something positive. Beth
Don't forget to hype the video 💐
I have been visiting Sorrento italy for the last 10 years and every year we rent a small speedboat (no license needed, just courage) and cruise up the coast to Amalfi and Positano. They are both beautiful ! And very easily done in a day. I always love to watch others experience the Amalfi Coast. Great video!
You can walk from Amalfi to Positano as well! Try the Path of the Gods (and hope the weather is clear so you can see the view)
