Frequently Asked Questions About Amalfi Coast with Kids

Direct factual answers to the most common logistical questions parents ask before travelling.

Is the Amalfi Coast stroller accessible?

Towns like Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello are built into vertical cliff faces with hundreds of stone staircases and zero ramps. Strollers are virtually unusable in Positano. However, Maiori and Minori have flat coastal boardwalks and sandy beaches where lightweight travel strollers work well. For exploring cliff towns, an ergonomic baby carrier is essential.

What is the best way to travel between Amalfi towns with kids?

Take Travelmar high-speed ferries! Ferries bypass cliffside road traffic, eliminate car-sickness from winding coastal roads, accommodate folded strollers with zero hassle, and provide spectacular Mediterranean views from the water.

Which Amalfi Coast town is best to stay with young children?

Maiori is widely considered the best family base on the Amalfi Coast because it has the largest flat sandy beach, a wide stroller-friendly sea promenade with gelato shops, and easy ferry connections to Positano and Capri without the vertical staircases.
