Winter on Italy's Amalfi Coast is better compared to various other countries but can still get very cold. The powerful winter storms can create high waves along the coastline, sometimes even blocking the road.

The best time to visit the Amalfi coast is during the shoulder season, by late spring and early fall, when the weather is still warm but pleasant. During springtimes, heavy crowds have not yet arrived but you can enjoy the outdoor activities with the magical jasmine scent and blossoming oranges.

Similarly, during early fall, many tourists have left for home and you can enjoy the magnificent region without large crowds. You can go hiking, sightseeing, and eating delicious meals outdoors and everything you want.
