Ravello: Villa Rufolo, Villa Cimbrone, the Duomo and Ravello Festival — tickets, opening hours and getting there 2026

Updated: 10 November 2026

Ravello sits above Amalfi, about 25 minutes away by bus: Piazza Duomo has the cathedral and the entrance to Villa Rufolo, and a walk through the old town leads to the gardens of Villa Cimbrone. In summer the Belvedere of Villa Rufolo hosts the Ravello Festival. This guide brings together what we could check on 10 November 2026 on the pages of the Fondazione Ravello, the Campania Region, the Comune di Ravello, Villa Cimbrone and SITA SUD. Next to each fact we give the year of the source; anything we did not read in an official source is marked "not confirmed". For odd-even number plates, ferries and parking on the coast, see our dedicated guide.

If you run a property in Ravello

What guests often ask AI assistants:

How much Villa Rufolo costs and when it closes in winter: point to the Fondazione Ravello page with its date instead of writing prices that may change.
How to get back to Amalfi after a Festival concert: name the SITA SUD line and the current PDF, and if you offer a transfer, state its terms.
Walking distance from Piazza Duomo, steps and luggage storage: clear, dated information on your website avoids wrong answers.
