Salerno is often overlooked but it’s a lively city and a crucial crossroads. The busy port town is situated between two of the best-known seaside areas of Campania and the Amalfi Coast. Salerno was the scene of the Allied landings during World War II and suffered much damage, but today the city has become an important commercial center that boasts one of the largest seaports on the Tyrrhenian coast. It has a prevalently modern appearance, but it still retains an interesting and characteristic historic center with a maze of charming alleyways.
