Cities
Salerno — the most overlooked night on the coast
The medieval centre, the Norman duomo, the Lungomare Trieste, and the seafood every Salerno local eats.
Why bother
The Lungomare Trieste is one of the loveliest seafront promenades in Italy — palms, benches, the Bay of Salerno, sunset at 18:30 in winter. The Duomo holds the relics of Saint Matthew in an 11th-century crypt.
Eat at Casa Mia (Via Mercanti) for spaghetti vongole and lemon delizia. Sleep at Palazzo San Vincenzo. Train to Naples airport in the morning is 45 min.
