Like many Italian towns, much of Sorrento's charm is found in its cobbled side streets, where you can spend the day browsing the hidden boutique shops. Around every corner you will find lemon-themed memorabilia, restaurants and lemon gardens that fill the air with their scent. End your day at Marina Grande for a cocktail and fresh seafood dish as you watch the sunset over the glistening sea.
One of the best things to do while visiting Sorrento, is to take a boat trip along the Sorrentine Peninsula. See the beautiful town from this unique perspective as you travel along the stunning coastline! If you are looking to explore further, Sorrento is very well-connected so you can head on a ferry to visit nearby islands such as Capri, or the spectacular towns of the Amalfi Coast.
Sorrento is the perfect base to explore, and one of our top recommendations would be to hop on a train to Pompeii. This preserved Roman town had a population of around 20,000 and now you can amble the ancient stone streets that used to thrive back in the day. You have the choice to take a guided tour or wander around the site at your own leisure. It is a truly fascinating place, and with 170 acres of land to explore you won't want to miss out.
You can't leave Sorrento without trying the local speciality of Frittura di Paranza. Assorted fried seafood is hugely popular in this region, and along the seaside it will always include crustaceans and mollusks, as well as very small whole fish such as fresh anchovies or sardines.
With Sorrento being so close to Naples, you will also find plenty of pizza. Perfect dough smothered in tomato sauce, mozzarella and herbs is a must in this area.
Typically served as an after-dinner drink, Limoncello is synonymous with Sorrento. The liquor was born at the beginning of 1900 and is an excellent digestif after indulging in Sorrentine cuisine.
