Photo quests in Amalfi

What the catalogue actually holds here, and which of it is worth rearranging a day around.

Amalfi holds five quests, one in each of Food, History, Nature, Party and Sport. The categories with nothing in Amalfi so far are Art and Beach.

One is tier 1, the tier kept for what a visitor would not have found on their own: Valle delle Ferriere. It is also the only quest here whose check-in asks for PRO; the other four are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers four of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway.

A food quest names the dish rather than the restaurant: the pin sits on the room that serves it, but what you are going for is the plate. History here means places where something happened and the ground still shows it, which is also where the famous version and the standing version most often part company. Every check-in works the same way: the geotag your camera wrote into the photo has to land within 200 m of the quest's own point.

Amalfi is a short list for now — five quests against the three a city needs to have a page here at all. It grows when the pipeline publishes into Amalfi again, and nothing about this page has to change for that to happen.

By category

Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Amalfi quests among them.


Tier 1

The unexpected ones

The one quests in Amalfi the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures — the half of a city a guidebook has no room for.

Questions

About quests in Amalfi

How many photo quests are there in Amalfi?
5, across five of the seven categories the catalogue uses. Nothing in Art and Beach here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Amalfi Cathedral, Valle delle Ferriere and Scialatielli.
What is there to do in Amalfi beyond the obvious?
One of the 5 quests in Amalfi is tier 1, which is the catalogue's own mark for a find rather than a landmark: the pipeline that writes it is told that tier 3 is "everything a visitor would expect a travel app to have", and that tiers 1 and 2 are "only the unexpected finds". Amalfi holds one at tier 1, none at tier 2 and four at tier 3. The tier 1 quest here is Valle delle Ferriere, in Nature.
Can you do all the Amalfi quests on one trip?
Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 5 falls within 2.4 km of the middle of the Amalfi list — walking and local transport, not day trips — so this is a list to plan a visit around rather than a reason to extend one.
Which Amalfi quests can you do for free?
4 of the 5 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 5 can be read and travelled to without paying anything — the catalogue is open signed out, on every plan. PRO covers the check-in on the hardest tier, which in Amalfi means one quest: Valle delle Ferriere.
How do I prove I visited a place in Amalfi?
Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Amalfi is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Amalfi Cathedral fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way — upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you. The Food quests in Amalfi sit on the room where the dish is served rather than on the dish, so that address is what the 200 m is measured from.
