In Salerno, you stroll along narrow streets topped with picturesque arches and houses where ancient Roman columns peep out here and there. You can enter sumptuous churches shaped by art and time and eat a brioche with ice cream while gazing at the waterfront.

In Corso Vittorio Emanuele, the long 19th-century avenue, you are welcomed with thousand of artistic lights during the acclaimed Luci d'Artista event between November and January. And the tree-lined seafront promenade wants you to walk (or run) having the word 'wow' in your mind.
