What is Ravello famous for?
Ravello, fondly called the City of Music, boasts an enviable cultural and historical legacy. One of the prominent reasons for Ravello’s global fame lies in its stunning villas: Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo. These aren’t just architectural marvels; they are also nestled amidst luxuriant gardens that provide sweeping views of the entire Amalfi Coast.
But that’s not all! The magnificent Oscar Niemeyer Auditorium stands out as a contemporary architectural masterpiece, paying homage to the incredible natural backdrop that surrounds it. For the true aficionados of music, Ravello flaunts a pulsating cultural atmosphere with events like the Ravello Festival and the Ravello Concert Society. Both ensure world-class performances set in a truly unparalleled ambiance.
How many hours do you need in Ravello?
If you want to explore villas, shop, and wander around the quaint city center, you’ll require 2 to 3 hours in Ravello. However, if you aim for a comprehensive Amalfi Coast tour in a day, you might want to pair Ravello with Amalfi and Positano. If you’re up for an offbeat experience, Ravello can be twinned with Tramonti, a town perched higher in the mountains. Veiled by vineyards, Tramonti offers a vibe distinct from the coastal towns yet is equally enchanting. A personal tip? We ventured to Ravello in the morning and Tenuta San Francesco, a vineyard close to Tramonti, in the afternoon. The experience remains etched in our memories. Meandering through the vineyard, gazing at grapes dangling from the vines, sipping on exquisite wines, and relishing a home-cooked meal—this was quickly among our top Amalfi Coast moments.
