Amalfi Coast: Shops Closed on Sundays?

Not in our experience. Still a busy time with lots of visitors to sell things to!

Thanks, Linda.

Just had a thought, some shops in the area close for an afternoon break at about 1pm and then re-open between 4 and 5pm so plan your shopping accordingly. I have seen examples of people saying that places are more or less closed for the day/winter because they have visited during this time period!

Thanks, Linda. Does this also include restaurants?

Italians tend to eat a bit later than we do (though not so late as Spaniards). Restaurants definitely don't close for the afternoon at 1 PM. Sorry that I can't tell you what time is typical. That info should be in your guidebook, though.

Thanks, acraven :)

If you mean shops that cater for tourists, no. If you mean those for locals (groceries, pharmacies . . . ) yes.

Thanks, Chani

Touristy shops wil, be open but locally serving shops and smaller establishments will have limited hours. Usually closing for a few hours late afternoon and reopen in the evening.
