Best time to go to Amalfi Coast
The best time to visit the Amalfi Coast is over the summer months. June to August is all about mid-30s heat and peak holidays, so send it over here in the shoulder months of May and September if you’re after something warm, but with fewer crowds and cheaper prices. During the winter months, some of the restaurants and hotels go into hibernation, so it’s worth bearing this in mind.Passports and Visas
British passport holders don’t need a visa to enter Italy but must have a valid passport. You can check your passport’s valid for Italy using our handy tool. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit the FCDO website.Don't forget to arrange your travel money and insurance before you go.
Health and safety
You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. If you’re travelling to the EU and you apply for a card now, you'll get a new UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) instead of an EHIC. This entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Italian nationals. It won’t, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment. Visit the NHS website for full details on what it covers. You do not need to apply for a GHIC if you already have an EHIC. Your EHIC remains valid in the EU until it expires. An EHIC or GHIC is free of charge. For the latest health and safety information, visit the FCDO website.Travel Aware
