Free tour of the historic center of Salerno
HI! I'm Paola, I live in Cava de'Tirreni, on the outskirts of the Amalfi Coast, and I've been working as a tour guide for 5 years. After graduating in Languages, I specialized in the tourism sector, obtaining the qualification as a tourist guide for the Campania Region. Even though I may seem a little shy, I like being in contact with people and meeting people from all over the world. Art, culture and travel have always been my passions, that's why I decided to make it my job. In my free time I love travelling, painting and preparing desserts, especially those of the Campania tradition which I will be happy to suggest to you when we meet. See you on the next tour!!!

Description
Salerno, a beautiful city on the sea and an enchanting medieval treasure chest... come and discover it with me! We will meet at the maritime station, passing through the new Piazza della Libertà, the largest square on the sea in Europe. We will pass through the lush Villa Comunale, then towards the Teatro Verdi, catching sight of the Castello di Arechi, which overlooks the city, and the twentieth-century buildings, which overlook the sea. We will then enter the historic center, in via dei Mercanti, walking through the alleys in search of the numerous columns scattered in every corner and discovering the secrets of the city. I will tell you about the history and culture of Salerno, which has seen rulers, famous people and more pass by.
We will reach San Pietro a Corte and the Cathedral, dedicated to San Matteo. Finally, we will leave the heart of the city, crossing one of its ancient gates, in Piazza Sedile di Porta Nova.
