Salerno is a city rich in history, art and culture, and was also home to the first medical school in Europe. Among its most important museums are the Archaeological Museum, the Virtual Museum of the Medical School, and the Provincial Art Gallery located in Palazzo Pinto, which house works by Italian and foreign artists.
In its historic center you will walk along splendid Art Nouveau buildings built in the early 1900s, the wonderful Verdi Theater, and important religious monuments such as the Church of St. George and the Church of the Santissima Annunziata. Another must-see is undoubtedly its Cathedral of Santa Maria degli Angeli, San Matteo, and San Gregorio VII, a complex that embraces different styles from Romanesque to Arab-Norman.
Other must-sees in this city are the Minerva Botanical Garden, which offers a splendid view of the city, the ancient medieval aqueduct that runs through the center, and the spectacular alleys of the historic center, which have undergone considerable redevelopment in recent decades; in what is now a true open-air museum, you can admire splendid murals where famous phrases and poems are engraved, and the Vicolo delle Fornelle, is the best example.
If you have time for a relaxing break head to the town beach of Santa Teresa, or climb to the beautiful medieval castle of Arechi where there is a wide view of the Gulf of Salerno. Nearby locations in Salerno include the beautiful Archaeological Park of Paestum, the town of Cava de'Tirreni, and the beautiful Amalfi Coast.
