Sorrento is a convenient base for touring southern Italy thanks to its train station, port and access to the Amalfi Coast. The town itself is pleasant for walking and combines viewpoints, alleys and restaurants.
The best-value way to book is with Flight Hunter after comparing dates, baggage and change terms.
What to Do in Sorrento
Stroll the center, Piazza Tasso and the alleys, and go down to the viewpoint over the marinas. Getting down to the sea sometimes involves stairs or an elevator.
Where to Stay
Staying near the center and the station suits those planning day trips. A hotel outside town may offer views and quiet but requires transport.
Day Trips
You can reach Pompeii by train, Capri by boat and the Amalfi Coast by bus, boat or private driver. Don’t try to combine everything in one day.
Getting There from Naples
The local train is cheap but can be crowded. You can also choose a transfer or another train for part of the route. Read our guide to the train from Naples to Sorrento.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many nights should you stay?
Three to five nights suit combining the town with a few day trips.
Do you need a car?
Not necessarily; trains, boats and buses cover many destinations, and a car can be cumbersome to park.
