Salerno

Salerno is a real Italian City, where foreign people experience the real Southern Italian life. Here, life seems to be very chilled and easy, people are friendly and take care of each other. With a thriving main street, the city gives people "the small town feeling". Restaurants, pizzerias, pubs, shops, beaches are reachable within a short, enjoyable walk. You will never feel like a tourist amongst thousands of other tourists like in cities such as Florence or Rome. You will soon become one of us, and at the end of your journey it will be really difficult to leave. Salerno is a city with a great historical and cultural tradition dating back to Roman times, it reached its maximum splendour in the XI and XII centuries when it was the seat of the famous Salerno School of Medicine. Today Salerno still preserves intact its historical centre, the Norman cathedral dedicated to its Patron Saint Mathew, Prince Arechi's castle which seems to date back to the castrum Salerni of Roman times, and many other monuments which are all important examples of a rich historical tradition.
