Salerno is stretched between the sea and the hills. The whole area it's full of smell and colours that will allow you to get lost and immediately you feel you are part of history. The city has seen several populations pass over the centuries: Etruscans, Romans, Lombards, and Normans that chose it as the capital of their southern Italy kingdom.

Just as the walls of the ancient city remain in place to bear witness to history, so in the blood and habits of today's inhabitants there remain traces of that past that has contributed to making them as they are today.

The fame of Salerno was intimately connected with her schools of medicine. A centre of medical studies, Salerno preceded Montpellier; she was the “Fons medicines” as Petrarch calls her. A hospital existed at Salerno as early as 820; in the eleventh century a school of medicine was in existence which was unrivalled in all Western Europe.

The old centre of Salerno is a great place, with character and authenticity to spare. It is all fairly compact and close to the dock station. When you arrive, make sure to set aside some time to wander around this historical fascinating area, almost pedestrian, much quieter and less touristy than Naples.

Be ready to relaxed walk 5 km through and discover a unique charm of ancient beauty and even more interesting shops. The cobblestones and narrow alleyways and passages hold countless artisanal handcraft stores, bars and restaurants from hi end to low end. Photo opportunities abound. Functional fountains still provide drinkable water to all who want it. A great way to spend a late afternoon.
