Salerno walking tour

A stroll through art, tradition, artisan shops, and scenic spots

Treat yourself to a slow exploration through the narrow streets of Salerno’s historic center. Step back into the Middle Ages and let yourself be guided through this undiscovered city on the Mediterranean. Unearth its hidden treasures and be fascinated by its history; the world’s first medical school was born here. Discover traditional products and the oldest and most fascinating artisan creations. Explore the paths that start from the historic center and offer incredible viewpoints, from Cilento to the Amalfi Coast.

Start your visit from the heart of Salerno

Salerno Antica is located in one of the city’s most characteristic narrow streets, just a short walk from the waterfront and Piazza Portanova, often considered the city’s living room—an ideal starting point for any tour. After a good coffee, stroll down the renowned Via dei Mercanti and through the alleys of the historic center. Let the scents and murals of the working class neighborhoods captivate you. Meet artisans who keep centuries-old traditions alive and discover their fascinating workshops. Be enchanted by the monuments and get lost in the views of the Gulf of Salerno.

Slow down and explore Salerno your own way

With Salerno Antica, you will have the opportunity to experience Salerno through a two- or three-hour experience. You can choose between an exclusively cultural tour, a trail connecting the ancient city to the Arechi Castle, or an entirely experiential tour.

During the cultural tour, a guide will take you to St. Matthew’s Cathedral—a spectacular example of Arab-Norman architecture, which will include a visit to the stunning Baroque style crypt—as well as the Minerva Gardens and the medieval aqueduct. If you love walking in nature, you can’t miss the “Prince’s Path” that takes you from the historic center to the Arechi Castle with an Aigae guide. And if you want another view of the city, you can choose an experiential tour which allows you to experience Salerno as a local—to savor, remember, and cherish.
