Top Reasons to Go
"Torna a Surriento": Sorrento's old quarter is one of the most romantic places in Italy—be sure to linger beside the Sedile Dominova, a 16th-century frescoed loggia, which is a colorful backdrop for cafés and serenading waiters warbling "Come Back to Sorrento."
A room with a view: Splurge on Sorrento's grand Belle Époque hotels perched by the Bay of Naples.
Shopping along Via San Cesareo: Sorrento's regional goods are world-famous, and this charming street is just the place to find embroideries, inlaid wooden objects, music boxes, leather items, and lemon products.
Passeggiare: Join the passeggiata at Piazza Tasso and follow the locals as they make the rounds of Sorrento's historical center to gossip, strut, and see and be seen.
