Audio Guide of Infinity Terrace

Infinity Terrace is located at Villa Rufolo in Ravello. Villa Rufolo generally opens from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM or later, depending on the season. Ravello can be reached by bus from Salerno or Amalfi, and once in town, Villa Rufolo is just a few minutes’ walk from the center. I recommend checking the exact hours on the official website: Villa Rufolo - Opening Hours.

Yes, to access Infinity Terrace you need to buy a ticket for Villa Rufolo. The general admission price is usually around 8 to 10 euros, with discounts for students or groups. The terrace is one of the main attractions inside the villa, so access is included with your entry ticket. You can check current prices here: Villa Rufolo - Tickets.

To fully enjoy Infinity Terrace and the rest of Villa Rufolo’s gardens and structures, I recommend allowing at least 1.5 to 2 hours. You will have enough time to stroll, take photographs, admire the views, and soak up the atmosphere of the place. If you enjoy photography or simply like to relax, you may want to stay longer.

Infinity Terrace, part of the beautiful gardens of Villa Rufolo, is famous for its breathtaking panoramic views of the Amalfi Coast and the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its name refers to the sense of vastness you feel when looking out at the horizon. Historically, Villa Rufolo dates back to the 13th century and has inspired artists and musicians, including Richard Wagner.

The best time to visit is during spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October), when the weather is pleasant and there are fewer tourists than in summer. If you visit during the day, trying to go early in the morning, right when it opens, or later in the afternoon can help you avoid the biggest crowds and enjoy softer light for photos.

Unfortunately, like many historic attractions on the Amalfi Coast, access to Infinity Terrace and other areas of Villa Rufolo can be challenging for visitors with reduced mobility because of stairs and uneven paths. I recommend contacting Villa Rufolo directly for specific accessibility information: +39 089 857621 or their Contact page.

Ravello itself is a gem. In addition to Villa Rufolo, you should not miss Villa Cimbrone, with its own Terrace of Infinity, another one with arguably even more spectacular views. Piazza del Duomo, Ravello Cathedral, and the Coral Museum are also worth a visit. The town is small, charming, and perfect for a stroll.

Of course, here are a few: wear comfortable shoes, as there is a lot of walking and some paths are cobbled. Bring your camera because the views are spectacular. Plan your visit to the terrace as part of your time in Villa Rufolo and, if possible, combine your day with a visit to Villa Cimbrone to compare the views. And take your time to simply sit and absorb the beauty!
