Right below the villages of the Amalfi Coast, lies the small but vibrant city of Salerno. Due to the abundance of sunshine and warm weather, the people of Salerno love to be outdoors and share their social lifestyle in what they call Movida – a late night stroll through the main piazzas that can last well into the morning on summer weekends. Salerno is also a major transportation hub that allows for easy access to most points north and south via high speed trains. It's history is as rich and old as the rest of Italy, yet it also embraces modern architecture by commissioning Zaha Hadid to design their new ferry terminal which was completed in 2017. This year-round seaside city feels less like a tourist destination than a lot of her neighboring villages, therefore it's definitely worth a visit, especially for the Movida!
