What to Do on the Amalfi Coast in September 2026
September is one of the best times to visit the Amalfi Coast. The days are still ideal for the sea and excursions, while villages like Amalfi, Positano, Ravello, Praiano, Atrani, Maiori, Cetara, Conca dei Marini, Furore, and Tramonti offer concerts, theater performances, food festivals, processions, jazz series, and cultural events.

How to Reach the Events: Ferries, Buses, and Private Transfers
Ferries and Hydrofoils
In September, sea connections are often the most convenient solution for Amalfi and Positano and, when provided by operators, for other ports along the coast. Trips depend on the weather and seasonal schedules.
Hillside towns
Ravello can be reached from Amalfi by road. Conca dei Marini, Furore, Tramonti, Praiano, and Agerola require a bus, car, or private transfer; some events in Praiano are accessible only on foot along paths and stairways.
Parking and traffic
On concert and festival days, parking in Amalfi, Positano, and the smaller villages can fill up quickly. Arrive early and check restrictions, ZTL (limited traffic zones), traffic conditions on the SS163, and parking availability before departing.
