Salerno Private Tour

Salerno Private Tour

Having met up at the scheduled time at our meeting point in the Piazza Matteo Luciani, we'll set off on our private tour of the city's historic centre. While we're in this square we'll admire the Giuseppe Verdi Municipal Theater, a building from the 19th century, and the Villa Comunale's beautiful medieval gardens.

Next we'll head to the Minerva Gardens, one of the city's main attractions and also the oldest botanical garden in Europe. Students at the Salerno Medical School have been using their medicinal plants since the Middle Ages.

We'll then stroll to the historic centre of Salerno, where we'll wind through narrow medieval alleys such as Via dei Mercanti. In addition, we'll observe buildings that have shaped the history of the city, such as the Monumental Complex of San Pietro Corte and Salerno Cathedral. The latter, which is also known as the Duomo, is an architectural treasure from the 11th century in which the remains and relics of the apostle Saint Matthew lie.

Our private tour of Salento will then take us to the famous Devil's Bridge, a medieval aqueduct that shrouds a well-known local legend...

To round off our tour we'll walk along the promenade, which is one of the most beautiful in Italy. Following a fascinating 2-hour tour, we'll say our goodbyes while gazing at a spectacular view of the gulf and the Amalfi Coast.
