Getting around

"Furore is small and walkable, but its steep layout means lots of stairs. The SITA bus connects Furore to Amalfi, Positano, and Sorrento (tickets ~€1.50). Driving is challenging due to narrow, winding roads; parking is limited and expensive. Taxis are available but costly. For exploring the coast, ferries from Amalfi are a scenic option. Renting a scooter offers flexibility but requires caution."

Scam risk

6/10

"Furore is very safe, with low crime rates. Petty theft like pickpocketing can occur in crowded tourist spots, so keep valuables secure. The main risks are related to the terrain: steep stairs, uneven paths, and rocky beaches require sturdy footwear. Avoid hiking alone after dark. Traffic on the narrow coastal roads can be hazardous; drive carefully and park in designated areas. Scams are rare but be wary of overpriced taxis or unofficial guides."
