So what makes Tallinn a must-visit place for old artsy souls and modern wanderers alike? Once you are there, you’ll get to see a lot of reasons to regret not coming to this city earlier. Let’s not increase the regret by delaying going there. So, ready to explore? I, being your personal tour guide today, am here with a list of things to do in Tallinn, Estonia.

Things to Do in Tallinn, Estonia

Stroll Through the Old Town

Let’s start from the classic! The Old Town in Tallinn, Estonia, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site – very popular for its historical infrastructure. It literally feels like you are in a medieval dream. The colorful buildings, towering spires, and winding alleyways will surely make you awe in wonder.

Start strolling through the Old Town from the Town Hall square to make your way into the town. It dates back to the 13th century and is a symbol of Tallinn’s rich cultural history. The more you walk, the more you get to see old merchants’ houses, cool cafes, old churches, etc.

It’s like watching a 13th-century city. You must have seen this kind of city before – in historical movies and series. Only this time, it’s for real. Don’t miss out on the stunning orthodox church ‘Alexander Nevsky Cathedral’ in the Old Town.

Journey Up Toompea Hill

Wanna see the whole Tallinn landscape at once? Then, the top of Toompea Hill is your spot. It offers some of the best views on the way to the hilltop. On your way climbing, you’ll get to see the stunning Toompea Castle. It’s the home to Estonia’s parliament in case you didn’t know.

There you’ll also see the Tall Hermann Tower. Now, this tower is very legendary because it flies Estonia’s flag proudly. What a view of blue, black, and white waving on the heart of the hill.

Once you are at the top, you’ll be blessed with a crazy panoramic view of the whole Old Town and the Baltic Sea at a distance. At sunset, the top of Toompea Hill gives a vibe of a piece of heaven.

Explore Telliskivi Creative City

What to do in Tallin if you want to move from a medieval to a modern view? Or are you simply more of a fan of modern localities? Well, then you should go and explore Telliskivi Creative City.

It’s one of the trendiest neighborhoods with cool buildings, restaurants, industrial complexes, bars, art studios, etc. Exploring Telliskivi Creative City is going to take a while. It’s not because it’s big, but because the street art is so crazy that’ll make you pause frequently for a better look.

The murals and graffiti in every corner are unreal. This area is where you’ll get the taste of modern Tallinn, Estonia, with its local crafts and delicious local street foods.

Discover the Secrets of the KGB Museum

Ready for a slice of history? Visiting the KGB Museum is one of the must-have things to do in Tallinn, Estonia. To visit this Museum, you must head to the top floor of Hotel Viru. During Soviet Rule, this place was used to spy on the guests – secretly of course!

Later on, it was turned into the KGB Museum for people to have a glance at how they used to do it. If you visit there now, you’ll see the rooms that were bugged for surveillance – it’s going to be a quirky, fun thing to do that you don’t want to miss!

Wander Around Kadriorg Palace and Park

At this point of your stay in Tallinn, how about you head to the home of Estonia’s largest art Museum? It’s called Kadriorg Palace and Park, the perfect place if you are looking for some tranquility with a heavenly view.

You might wonder who made this park – a little history lesson for you – it was made by Peter the Great. It’s surrounded by a lush garden with so many varieties of plants with beautiful flowers. I say it’s the perfect place for an afternoon walk with some peace.

Dive into History at the Seaplane Harbour

Now it’s time to discover a hidden gem! I assume you didn’t know – Estonia has a great maritime history. So if you are into this stuff, the Seaplane Harbour might be something of interest. It’s one of the most impressive places in Tallinn but underrated at the same time.

It’s a maritime museum that’s housed in a huge hangar. When it was made initially, it was for seaplanes. Now, if you visit the Seaplane Harbour, you will see all kinds of nautical wonders, such as submarines, ships, cannons, or anything. The best part is yet to come!

It’s an interactive museum – which means you can climb up some of the vessels and also try your hand at simulators. How cool is that!

Get Lost in Kalamaja

What can you do in Tallinn, Estonia, to get to see the rawest Estonian culture? Then Kalamaja, a district of Tallinn, should be your next stop. Once, it was a quiet fishing village. But the moment Estonia started attracting tourists, Kalamaja became very popular for getting the best local experience.

It has a laid-back vibe away from all the rush of city life. There are a lot of colorful wooden houses, cafes, street food, and local shops. If you are someone like me who likes to take souvenirs from whenever I visit, Kalamaja’s shops are the best places to get them from.

There’s also a market called Balti Jaama Market, which you should visit at least once!

Take a Ferry to Naissaar Island

Need an adrenaline rush? Then, do something adventurous! Hop on a ferry and head out for Naissaar Island, which is not very far from Tallinn. It’s going to be indeed a short ride but the fun is going to be massive.

If you are a nature lover, visiting this island should be one of the must-have things to do in Tallinn Estonia. Naissaar is a small island and that makes it perfect for a day trip.

What’s there to enjoy? Well, apart from the sandy beaches, which is pretty obvious, there’s a pine forest that you can hike in and old Soviet military installations that were left behind. If you feel hot in Tallinn’s cities, Naissaar Island is where you can get soaked and refreshed.

Embrace the Digital Innovations of e-Estonia

Did you know Estonia is the only country where you can open a bank account in 30 minutes? That too from anywhere in the world despite your non-Estonian nationality! Yes, it’s shocking but true.

Estonia is one of the few countries in the world for its digital government initiatives. Leaving without learning something about it is a shame. As you’ll already be in Tallinn, you must visit the e-Estonia Showroom. This country is very tiny (fun fact: the 24th smallest country in Europe).

This Showroom is where you’ll discover everything about how this tiny country is now leading the world in digital advancement. Ever heard of e-residency? How about online voting? When it comes to tech and digitalization, Estonia is at its peak. Visiting the e-Estonia Showroom will help you learn more about it.

Relax at Pirita Beach

Remember the Baltic Sea from the top of the Toompea Hill? If you want to have some beach vibes, Pirita Beach is the biggest beach for you to unwind after all that tiring exploration.

Soak up the sun, play volleyball, enjoy the sea view with ice cream, swim in the Baltic Sea, and relax on a lazy afternoon. It’s a short ride from the Tallinn City Center anyway, so you can easily enjoy this stunning attraction of Estonia.

Tips for Visiting Tallinn, Estonia

You now know the things to do in Tallinn, Estonia. But before heading out for the adventure, there are some things you should keep in mind. So here are some of my practical tips for visiting this city to make your stay fun.

Pack for All Seasons

Tallinn’s weather is very unpredictable. So what if you went there in the summer? – You can still get chilly or drenched in sudden rain showers. So don’t forget to pack for all seasons – you never know what weather you come across.

Take Advantage of Free Walking Tours

When you get there, the first thing you should do is get the free walking tours offered by passionate locals. If you get a little familiar with the place, your overall tour would be more enjoyable.

Use the Tallinn Card

Yes, it’s a thing! The Tallinn card is a kind of card that gives you free access to a lot of places like public transport, some museums, discounts on some restaurants, etc. If you’ll be staying in Tallinn for more than 1-2 days, a Tallinn card is a must-have for free public transportation everywhere.

Learn a Few Estonian Phrases

Now, this one is very obvious. Though Estonians can speak excellent English, knowing a few Estonian phrases will be a friendly gesture to the locals. So memorize – ‘Tere’ is Hello, and ‘Aitäh’ is thank you. Learning a few more simple phrases like that will go a long way in making connections.

Be Mindful of the Estonian Quiet Culture

Estonia has a quiet culture that is very peaceful. Especially in public, they are not very chatty like many other cities in Europe. So they might not engage in small talk with you – it’s not rude! It’s just a part of their culture. But if you need assistance with anything, they are very humble and kind to help you out.

Use Public Transportation

Estonian public transportation is very easy and reliable. It has an easy-to-navigate transportation system with buses, trams, and trolleys. These are more affordable than ride-sharing, cars, and cabs. Well, if you are crazy rich, just ignore this tip.

Bring Reusable Bags

Estonia has a highly environment-conscious society, and this goes for its capital, Tallinn, as well. It is no surprise that they make the list of the 100 cleanest countries in the world. They hardly ever use plastic or poly bags. Shops there charge extra for these bags for something so trivial as this to discourse using these bags. So you must keep reusable bags with you for any souvenirs or groceries you pick up on your way.

Respect Local Traditions

Having historical greatness, people in Tallinn, Estonia, are very proud of their roots. So respecting the local traditions is one of the must things to do in Tallinn. Especially in religious spaces and historical attractions, you must keep respect for local rules. Photography is restricted in a few areas, so abide by those rules.

Conclusion

When I visited Tallinn, it felt like a perfect blend of its glorious past with a bright digital future. This city has a very unique aura that you can feel nowhere else in the world. Besides, and to my surprise, everything was cheaper than in other capitals of European countries. Here, everything is just much cooler!

What to do in Tallinn, Estonia? Now you know! Done making the checklist of all the things to do in Tallinn? Then stop wasting time, pack your bag, and charge your camera. Tallinn is so aesthetic for your Instagram feed that you may not want to come back home. But that’s okay, we’ll worry about it later. For now, pack your bags and head out to the airport. And in all this excitement – don’t forget your passport!

Tips for Booking the Most Expensive Hotels in London

Here are a few insider tips for booking a stay at one of London’s most luxurious hotels without completely annihilating your bank account:

Off-Season Travel

London’s peak season is typically from late spring to early autumn. Booking during off-peak months like January or February can significantly reduce your nightly rate. Plus, the city is just as charming in the winter!

Special Promotions and Packages

Even luxury hotels run promotions. Look for package deals that include breakfast, spa treatments, or even complimentary room upgrades. Some hotels also offer extended stay deals where the third or fourth night is discounted or free.

Loyalty Programs and Credit Cards

If you’re part of a luxury hotel loyalty program or have a high-end credit card, you could earn points or get perks like room upgrades, free nights, or early check-ins and late check-outs.

Use Booking Platforms

Sites like Booking.com or Expedia often have special rates or promotions for these luxury properties. Sometimes booking through these platforms can get you a better deal than going directly to the hotel.

Plan Ahead

Luxury hotels in London tend to book up fast, especially around the holiday season. Booking months in advance ensures you’ll have your pick of rooms and might snag a better rate.

Midweek Stays

Prices can be significantly lower if you book for a Monday to Thursday stay instead of the weekend. Londoners love their weekend getaways, so avoiding weekend rates is a smart move.

So, grab your mittens and your sense of humor – this is your 3-day guide to making the most of Copenhagen.

Finding the Sweet Spot: How Many Days Are Enough?

Before we dive into the details, let’s address the big question – how many days in Copenhagen? Well, it really depends on your travel style. If you’re a tick-box traveler, you can probably race through Copenhagen. But if you want to soak up the city’s atmosphere and have time for leisurely bike rides, three days should be just enough.

Three days will give you enough time to experience the essence of the city. You’ll have space to explore its historic charm and enjoy its stunning waterfront. So, whether you’re here to see the places, eat Danish pastries, or wobble on a rented bike, three days in Copenhagen will leave you with fond memories. Now, let’s dive into the fun part – the 3-day itinerary!

Day 1: Historic Charm and Attempted Selfie With a Castle

Stop 1: City Hall Square

You’ve landed in Copenhagen, slightly groggy from the flight and fully prepared to immerse in Scandinavian culture. Where do you start? At City Hall Square, of course. It’s the perfect place to start your adventure, and yes, that towering clock you see is begging for a photo. (Pro tip: There’s no such thing as too many clock photos, so just go wild.)

However, the clock tower isn’t the only exciting thing here. It is also home to the statue of Hans Christian Anderson – Denmark’s legendary storyteller. You might know about his work, ‘The Little Mermaid’, but there’s more to his legacy. (Bonus points if you can name more than one of his stories without Googling!)

Stop 2: Strøget & Gråbrødretorv

Next up, head over to Størget, Europe’s longest pedestrian street. It is perfect for leisurely strolling – or, in your case, getting completely lost. Don’t worry, even if you get lost, you’ll end up having a pastry feast. After feasting on Danish pastries, you can make your way to Gråbrødretorv Square. It’s a lovely spot for people-watching and pretending like you’re not still thinking about those pastries.

Stop 3: The Round Tower

At this point, you’ll probably feel like a true Copenhagen explorer. Time to put that energy to good use and climb the Round Tower (Rundetaarn). The tower promises a panoramic view of the city. As you climb the spiral ramp, you’ll wonder, how many days in Copenhagen it takes to conquer this tower.

The Round Tower is not just a viewpoint; it’s a 17th-century observatory that’s still in use today. You could even look through the telescope if it’s open. Just don’t expect to spot a Viking ship from here – they’re long gone, but it’s fun to imagine.

Stop 4: The Botanical Garden

If you’re still standing, you can walk over to the Botanical Garden. It adds a nice contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city. If you’re lucky, you might get a peek at some frosty foliage in the winter here. It’s the perfect spot to pretend you’re one of those outdoorsy, nature-loving types.

The Botanical Garden is home to a stunning collection of plants and even has a palm house where you can warm up. You might struggle to successfully identify the Danish flora, but it’s a beautiful stroll regardless.

Stop 5: Rosenborg Castle

Finally, end the day in a royal manner at Rosenborg Castle. This is where Denmark’s Crown Jewels are kept. You might feel a little royal while exploring the ornate rooms and wonder how many days in Copenhagen before you believe you deserve a castle as well. (Pro tip: Take your best “pretending to be royalty” selfie here before reality sets in.)

Also, don’t miss the King’s Garden (Kongens Have) outside the castle. Even in the off-season, it’s a beautiful place to wander. Just keep an eye out for the ghost of Christian IV. Legend has it, he still roams the grounds, probably trying to bask in the glory of his contributions to the city.

Day 2: Nyhavn and the Seaside Wonders

Stop 1: Nyhavn district

Begin your second day in Nyhavn, the district with the world’s most photogenic houses. The brightly colored buildings along the harbor offer a similar vibe to the postcard scenarios. We guarantee you’ll spend the next 30 minutes taking photos from every possible angle here.

Did you know that Nyhavn was once a bustling port filled with sailors, pubs, and… well, less reputable activities? Nowadays, it’s much more family-friendly. But you can still enjoy a drink or two at one of the many harborside cafes.

Stop 2: Amalienborg Palace

Next, head over to Amalienborg Palace. This was the hangout spot of the Danish royal family. So, you might get the urge to act like you belong there, too. Time it right, and you might just witness the changing of the guard ceremony. How many days in Copenhagen will make you consider moving in with the royals? After this stop, you’ll be halfway convinced.

Fun fact: the guards march from Rosenborg Castle to Amalienborg every day. It’s an impressive display of dedication. While you will probably wonder how many days in Copenhagen it takes to walk that far without stopping for another pastry.

Stop 3: Frederick’s Church (The Marble Church)

Simply walk down the street and you’ll find Frederick’s Church, or the Marble Church. It’s a stunning piece of architecture that looks like it belongs in Rome, but surprise – it’s in Copenhagen. You could climb the dome for a view, but it has some restrictions. In summer, you can check it out at 1pm. In other seasons, the dome is only open during weekends. So, to climb to the dome, you need to plan precisely.

This church has the largest church dome in Scandinavia. The whole building is made with baroque architecture. And I can bet 50 bucks that you’ll appreciate this masterpiece.

Stop 4: The Little Mermaid

Brace yourself: it’s time to visit the Little Mermaid statue. Yes, it’s tiny. Yes, you’ll wonder why you trekked all this way to see it. But would your Copenhagen trip be complete without taking weird photos with the mermaid? Absolutely not.

The statue is one of the most photographed in the world, and you’ll understand why as soon as you join the photo frenzy. Hopefully, you’ve read up on Hans Christian Andersen by now. If not, your post-vacation plans probably just got filled with some serious reading, right?

Stop 6: Tivoli Gardens

Wrap up your second day by visiting Tivoli Gardens, the world’s second-oldest amusement park. Tivoli is magical, with gardens, restaurants, and rides that feel straight out of a fairytale. It’s especially beautiful at night, so make sure to stay until the lights come on.

If you’re visiting in the winter, you’ll find a charming Christmas market here. During the summer, there are concerts and fireworks.

Day 3: Castles, Canals, and Christiania

Stop 1: Christiansborg Palace

Your last day begins at Christiansborg Palace. This is the only building in the world that houses all three branches of a country’s government. How many days in Copenhagen before you start feeling like a political expert? Let’s go with “today.” You can tour the Royal Reception Rooms, the Parliament, and even the royal kitchen – cause why not?

Stop 2: Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek

Next, head to Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, a museum founded by the Carlsberg beer family. Here you’ll find everything from ancient sculptures to French impressionist paintings. Once here, you’ll know that Danes really love their art and beer.

The winter garden in the center of the museum is like stepping into a tropical paradise. After visiting this place, you might be tempted to get your own indoor garden.

Stop 3: Canal Tour

Finally, wrap up your trip with a canal tour – the perfect way to take in Copenhagen from the water. Glide past some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, like the Opera House and the Black Diamond library. It’s a peaceful, scenic way to experience the city from a fresh angle and soak up a little extra hygge before heading home.

Final Thoughts

So, how many days do you need in Copenhagen? Three days is the perfect amount to explore the city’s mix of historical charm and modern vibes. It’s enough to take in the main sights and indulge in all the pastries you can handle. Additionally, you’ll be able to discover why this city is so beloved. Whether you’re into history, food, or simply enjoying a beautiful view, Copenhagen has something to offer everyone. And by the end of day three, you’ll probably already be planning your next visit.

If you think the Amalfi Coast is just a beach, then we suggest you think again. This 50-kilometer (31-mile) coastal area has so much to offer that one or even two days won’t be enough to explore it all. Here’s a list of the top destinations to visit on the Amalfi Coast.

Positano

Positano is a glitzy resort town with price tags that call people like us poor in 50 different languages. Even the cheapest room rates start from €350. However, the greatest riches of Positano are practically free. Still, you’ll need sturdy shoes and even sturdier lungs to explore this cliffside village. This once-fishing village now has great boutiques, galleries, and restaurants beaming with culture.

The Path of the Gods

Hold your horses before you try to conquer the path of gods. It is one of Italy’s most thrilling hikes. The trail is a 7-kilometer stretch of shrubland, a staggering 630m (2065 ft) above sea level. The medium-difficulty trail has several entry and exit points. The most popular course starts in Agerola and ends in Nocelle. Along the hike, you’ll find refreshment stalls, so there’s no need to carry heavy water bottles. Just take a mini bottle for emergencies.

Amalfi

Now, let’s talk about the actual town of Amalfi. It is the coast’s seaside hub, with a beautifully walkable medieval village. The hub has tasty pastry shops, a 12th-century Gothic cathedral, and a reliquary. Lorenzo D’Amalfi is the main drag to the edge of town, where you’ll find Amalfi’s paper museum.

Ravello

Higher up in the Lattari mountains resides the romantic Ravello. Here, you can expect to see exquisite 800-year-old villas and some breathtaking views of the region. The region has many great historical monuments. 5.7 kilometers inland from the coast lies the tiny village that served as a refuge from 5th-century invaders. Moving to the main square, you’ll find villas that took several centuries to build, such as Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo.

Island of Capri

Although not part of the Amalfi Coast, the island is right next to the coast of Amalfi. If you have some time to explore outside of Amalfi, then the island of Capri is where you should head. To get to Capri, you’ll need to take a boat tour or ferry from Positano. The island is smaller compared to Amalfi, with small roads and construction. Nonetheless, here you can take boat rides to travel around the beautiful island. Renting a boat for 3 hours will cost you €120.

These are the top spots that you absolutely can not miss while visiting the Amalfi Coast. Visiting all of them comfortably would take roughly 3 to 4 days. If you plan to stay longer, there are also other spots that we did not cover. So, no worries; you won’t be bored at all!

Things to Do in Amalfi Town

Now, let’s come to the actual fun part. What are the things that you can do on the Amalfi Coast? Well, the answer is easy—a lot of things! Here’s a list of things that you can do on the Amalfi Coast.

Beach Hopping

Who doesn’t like beaches? Sea waves, sand castles, tans—everything that brings joy to even an adult’s heart. The Amalfi Coast has many beaches to offer, three of which are the most popular.

First, is Spiaggia Grande in Positano. It is one of the largest beaches on the Amalfi Coast. The beach is known for its vibrant views and atmosphere.

Second, there is Marina Grande beach in Amalfi town. It is the main beach of Amalfi and the biggest tourist gathering happens here.

Finally, there’s Fornillo Beach in Positano. It is a quieter alternative to the Spiaggia Grande of Positano.

Boat Tours

If you’re near the beach, a boat tour is a must. There are basically three hotspots for boat tours.

The first is in the Amalfi Coastline. You can rent a boat here for roughly €140 for three hours. With a boat, you can stop by the towns of Praiano, Atrani, and Minori.

Next is Emerald Grotto, located near Conca dei Marini. This sea cave is renowned for its emerald-green waters and stunning views. Don’t miss it!

Lastly, you can visit one more place by boat: the Island of Capri. For a fare of €120, you can tour the island for three hours.

Hiking

We know what you’re thinking when we say hiking. Path of the Gods, right? Yes, it is the most popular tourist attraction on the Amalfi Coast. It is a 7-kilometer trail with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. Additionally, there’s another hike to the Valle delle Ferriere. This hike will provide you with a view of a lush scenic trail near Amalfi.

Culinary Delights

When you visit a new place, trying the local food is a must. If you don’t, you’ll miss out on a significant part of the experience. The same goes for here! Their famous lemon liqueur, Limoncello, is a fan favorite among tourists.

Additionally, being near the sea, you can experience fresh seafood here. They also serve traditional Italian cuisines such as pizza, pasta, and pastries.

Cultural Experiences

The Amalfi Coast is also rich with history which dates back to the 12th century. Some of these cultural spots include the Amalfi Cathedral, Paper Museum, Villa Rufolo, and Villa Cimbrone. All these monuments are hundreds of years old and are a testament to bygone times.

Best Time to Visit Amalfi Coast

Well, each season will provide you with a different scenic beauty of the coast. So, we won’t tell you which season is the best. Rather, we’ll explain the benefits of each season, and you can decide which best suits you.

Spring (April to June)

During the spring, the weather is basically perfect for hiking and outdoor activities. People normally do not visit Amalfi during spring, so there will be fewer crowds. Additionally, you can experience the vibrant colors of the gardens around Ravello.

Fall (September to October)

Fall is ideal for beach activities since the weather is a little on the warm side. Visitors can enjoy the fall by visiting the historic sites of the town. Moreover, fall brings in the harvest of local produce from the region, which makes these seasonal dishes greatly enjoyable.

Summer (July to August)

Since the sun shines brightly in the summer, it is the best time to dive underwater. You can swim and sunbathe at Spiaggia Grande or Marina Grande. Summer brings the joy of celebration with festivals and concerts. It also brings more tourists, so expect larger crowds during this time.

Winter (November to March)

Although it can be a little chilly to go for a swim, winter allows you to experience the peaceful nature of the town. The serene atmosphere of Amalfi and Villa Camborne are popular attractions during winter. You can also engross yourself in the local lifestyle by trying seasonal culinary delights.

Inner Transportation on the Amalfi Coast

Once you’re inside Amalfi, you can use different transportation methods to travel around the town.

SITA Bus Network

The bus system connects major towns along the coast. This network makes traveling between Amalfi, Positano, Ravello, and Sorrento very easy. Unfortunately, the buses do not pass by very frequently and are known to not follow the schedule properly. However, the fare is as low as €1, which makes it a very budget-friendly option.

Ferries

Ferries travel on two routes: to coastal towns and to the nearby islands. The ferries operate between key coastal towns such as Amalfi, Positano, and Sorrento. Additionally, some fixed-scheduled ferries travel to the nearby island of Capri.

Taxis

It is a convenient but expensive alternative to SITA buses. The cost of traveling to other cities starts from roughly €30 to €60. However, if you are short on time, then this is one of the best travel options.

Bikes and Scooters

Finally, there are bikes and scooters for rent on the coast. Yay! Just rent a bike or scooter for the day, and you can travel wherever you want. Just be careful as the roads are very narrow and certain spots do not allow tourist vehicles.

Tips for Travelers

Many mountains adorn the coastal area of Amalfi. Thus, visitors need to prepare properly before going there. Follow these top tips to avoid accidents and ensure safety.

Pack Light

The streets of Amalfi are steep and narrow, especially the hiking zones. That’s why it’s important to pack light. Too much weight would make navigating challenging. On the Path of the Gods hike, you’ll find multiple refreshment vendors. So, there’s no need to carry heavy water bottles. Just take a small bottle of water.

Stay Hydrated

Heat stroke can ruin the whole fun of the vacation. Thus, try to stay hydrated, especially during hiking, as you’ll sweat a lot then. If you travel during the summer months, try to track your water consumption even when indoors.

Plan Ahead

You don’t want to get confused about where to go and what to do, right? That’s why you’ll need to plan everything ahead of time. Two things should spring to mind when planning: accommodation and attractions.

For accommodation, book a hotel beforehand as Amalfi is a very popular place for tourists. There are many hotel and Airbnb options in this town.

Secondly, plan out the attractions you want to visit. Reserve your tickets beforehand to avoid long waits. The best attractions, including guided tours, boat trips, and historical sites, will surely be booked up quickly, so secure your reservations before they sell out!

Respect Local Customs

The locals give the tourist destination its charm. Therefore, do not disrespect them in any way. Dress modestly around them, especially in the cathedral. Also, be mindful of local customs and etiquette.

Final Thoughts

Overall, Amalfi is a great tourist destination. If you’re distressed from all your workload, hop on a plane (or train) and come here as soon as possible. And if you’re confused about what to do in Amalfi, read our article one more time to see the amazing things Amalfi has to offer. Have fun!
