The entrance to the parking lot is on a different street from the main (pedestrian) entrance to the Hotel Bristol, so we recommend entering the parking lot’s address in Google Maps for the correct directions.

The venue is in the beautiful setting of Vietri sul Mare in the Amalfi coast.
We hope that you’ll have to chance to discover the beauty of this region.
These are our suggestions about beautiful places to visit ☺️
VIETRI SUL MARE
Vietri is a small village known for its hand-painted ceramics. You can enjoy a walk in the village centre and in the Villa Comunale, which has a beautiful view on the sea.
For a swim in the sea, you can go to the Crestarella beach or in Vietri Marina.
More info:
https://www.viverevietrisulmare.it
AMALFI
Amalfi can be easily reached by ferry (info: https://www.travelmar.it) from Vietri and from Salerno
turistic Masuccio port.
From Vietri you can also arrive by public transport with SitaSud (https://sitasudtrasporti.it/campania/).
We strongly advise you to not go by car because the only street that connects all the Amalfi coast is very busy in August and moreover if you arrive too late there is the real risk of not being able to enter Amalfi if all the parking slots are already occupied (there are very few parking slots with a cost of 6€/hour). In Amalfi, we suggest to visit the Duomo, have a walk in the village and enjoy a Santa Rosa pastry in Pasticceria Pansa.

RAVELLO
Just a few kilometres from Amalfi, situated in one of the most scenic spots, 350 metres above sea level, lies Ravello. It is conveniently connected to Amalfi by public buses. The road is winding, but the panorama in Ravello is worth the ride. The main attraction is the "Terrace of Infinity" at Villa Cimbrone (pictured), where the view on the sea and the coast is breathtaking. More info: https://www.ravello.com
You can get to Ravello from Amalfi by taking a SitaSud public bus (price around €2). The bus stop in Amalfi is in Piazza Flavio Gioia, on the opposite side to the harbour (here). Tickets should also be available at tobacconists and cafés in Amalfi, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to find them in these shops. There is often a SitaSud staff member selling them in the square, under the shelter in a circular pedestrian area (here). The bus journey takes about 15 to 20 minutes. There are also private shuttle options available.
POSITANO
A bit further away, but still connected to Salerno, Vietri and Amalfi by ferry (info: https://www.travelmar.it), there is Positano. Here you can enjoy a walk in the village, go shopping for the typical sandals and beachwear and even spend some hours at the beach, close to the port or here.

CAPRI
With a two-hours ride by fast ferry, you can arrive from Salerno (Molo Manfredi, with Alicost) in the beautiful island of Capri, where you can visit the grotta blu by boat, have a walk along a panoramic pedestrian path to admire i faraglioni, and many more activities.
