Is Ravello the same as Amalfi?

Ravello (Campanian: Raviello, Reviello) is a town and comune situated above the Amalfi Coast in the province of Salerno, Campania, Southern Italy, with approximately 2,500 inhabitants. Its scenic location makes it a popular tourist destination, and earned it a listing as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.



No, Ravello and Amalfi are two distinct towns on Italy's Amalfi Coast with very different characters. Amalfi is a bustling, sea-level town that serves as the historic heart of the coastline; it is famous for its grand cathedral (Duomo di Sant'Andrea), its pebble beaches, and its role as a major transport hub for buses and ferries. In contrast, Ravello is perched high in the hills, approximately 350 meters above sea level. Because it has no beach access, Ravello is significantly quieter, more refined, and offers much more dramatic panoramic views of the Mediterranean. It is renowned for its world-class music festivals and its stunning cliffside gardens, specifically those at Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone. While you can travel between them in about 20-30 minutes by bus or car, Amalfi is where you go for the "seaside action," while Ravello is where you go for "refined tranquility and vistas."
