Quick planning notes for timing, backups, food breaks, and lower-stress days.
Start Amalfi Coast days with one anchor activity, then add a nearby food stop, playground, hotel pool, or rainy-day backup.
Choose a hotel or neighborhood that reduces travel time; location can matter more than squeezing in another attraction.
Verify current hours, tickets, restroom access, stroller rules, pet rules, weather, and seasonal closures before leaving.
Keep one low-cost option and one indoor option ready so the day can recover quickly if plans change.
Choose one anchor activity per day in Amalfi Coast, then add backups nearby instead of crossing town repeatedly.
