Practical Tips for Visiting Amalfi with a Dog

Amalfi is one of the most beautiful places in Italy, and though its seafront centre is flatter than Positano, the coast is still steep, hot and stepped once you leave the piazza. Beaches mostly keep dogs off in summer, and cathedral and museum interiors are off limits. The honest highlight for dog owners is the walking above the town, the cool Valle delle Ferriere and the ridge to the Torre dello Ziro. Come in the cooler months, lean on the buses and ferries, and carry water and paw protection everywhere.
