What to expect
Expect a leisurely two-kilometre walk through narrow lanes and connected plazas, with stops at two major villas where you'll see their grounds and exteriors (villa interiors require separate paid entry). Your guide points out architectural details, shares stories of residents like Wagner and Gide, and explains why this town became a 19th-century creative hub. The walk isn't strenuous but involves uneven paving and occasional steps. You'll have breathing room to take photos and absorb views across the sea.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes with grip. Villa Rufolo and Cimbrone charge separate admission fees if you want interior access. Public transport serves Ravello well; arrange your own arrival. The guide recommends eating spots at tour's end, allowing you to linger over lunch with the views.
