The bus journey from Amalfi to Ravello is a short, scenic, and very affordable trip operated by the SITA Sud bus company. As of 2026, a one-way ticket (UNICOCOSTIERA) costs approximately 1.50 to 2.50 euros, depending on whether you buy a single 45-minute ticket or a longer-duration pass. Tickets must be purchased before boarding at a local "Tabacchi" shop, newsstand, or the ticket booth near the Amalfi pier, as drivers generally do not sell tickets on the bus. The ride takes about 20 to 30 minutes, winding up the steep, narrow limestone cliffs of the Lattari Mountains, offering some of the most famous views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. During the peak summer months, these buses can be extremely crowded, and you may have to stand, so many travelers opt for the "City Sightseeing" open-top buses or a private taxi for a higher price (often 40-50 euros). However, for a budget-friendly traveler or local, the SITA bus remains the standard way to reach the "City of Music" and its stunning villas, Rufolo and Cimbrone.
