'''Ravello''' is a town and commune in Salerno, Italy.

Get in

Ravello is located in the hills above Amalfi. If you arrive by bus or boat from another city and plan on staying late for a concert, you will need to arrange return transportation. Your hotel should be able to arrange a car and driver to get you back to your hotel. This is a pricey option although it may be your only option.

'''By Bus''' You can reach Ravello by taking the prevalent SITA buses that run throughout the Amalfi Coast between the cities of Salerno, Positano, Sorrento. You will disembark at the city of Amalfi and from there you can either take a different SITA bus up the hill or walk to Ravello.

The city-to-city SITA buses are inexpensive but can become very crowded during the high traffic summer seasons. Check the bus schedule for times.

'''By Boat''' The closest point for Ravello with boat and ferry arrivals is Amalfi, which shuttle between the coastal towns of Positano, Salerno, Sorrento or Naples. In good weather, the views are spectacular from the water. http://www.coopsantandrea.com run the service between Amalfi, Salerno and Positano.

'''By Car''' Ravello is accessible by car although cars are not allowed into Ravello proper.

Get around

There is no other way to get around Ravello except by foot. The town itself is quite small and easy to get around. The SITA bus also operates frequently between Ravello and Amalfi (the main bus terminal on the Amalfi Coast for connections) while there are always taxis on hand near the main bus stop in Ravello.

See

'''Villa Cimbrone''' [http://www.villacimbrone.com/en/ website] is the most spectacular garden in the Amalfi Coast and should not be missed. An aristocratic villa that had fallen into disrepair, it was infused with the traditions of an English garden by Ernest William Beckett who fell in love with the villa. Poetic inscriptions are found on plaques throughout, a statue of thoughtful Mercury invites you to a few moments of introspection and the awe-inspiring Terrace of Infinity dangles high above a sheer cliff facing the ocean. There is much to see or not see. Enjoy at your own pace.
