A history-stuffed city
Salerno Cathedral shows off a blissful blend of architecture, making this beautiful building a must-see. Inside, you’ll see graceful arches, baroque interiors and detailed mosaics. Look up and you’ll see Arechi Castle, a medieval fortress with pinch-me panoramas over the sea and city. There’s also a small museum if you want to find out more!
Coastal beauty
Nestled along the Tyrrhenian Sea, Salerno is all about breathtaking views of the coastline. Your first port of call should be Lungomare Trieste, a tree-lined promenade offering some of the most picturesque seaside walks in Italy. During the spring and summer, it often comes alive with flea markets and fairs.
Old meets new
The Old Town of Salerno is chock-full with narrow streets, charming squares and historic buildings. Highlights include the medieval Via dei Mercanti, the Church of San Pietro a Corte and a smattering of dinky shops and cafés. More modern parts of the city offer trendy boutiques and lively nightlife.
