Positano has a glamorous reputation. This incredible place is known as a vertical city, meaning the colorful buildings and homes are built on a steep incline, seemingly sticking out of the hillsides overlooking the legendary Amalfi Coast and Bay of Naples.
Of course, that means a lot of hills and stairs, so if you’re not as mobile as you used to be, that might be an issue.
