Day Trip to Sorrento, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Considered the official start of the Amalfi Coast, the cliff-perched town of Sorrento makes for a quick and easy day trip. We caught the train in Pompei at Villa dei Misteri and took the Circumvesuviana line all the way down the coast. Our plan for the day? To eat and wander around without much of an itinerary.
Since we were visiting just before the holidays, the streets were decked out with all sorts of Christmas decorations. We befriended a few dogs along the way, and then we found a spot to indulge in coffees and pastries.
After walking through the town, we started making our way down to the waterfront, more specifically, to Marina Grande. This harbour is line with pastel-coloured buildings, boats bobbing in the water, and lots of seafood restaurants.
After walking the length of the marina and browsing through menus, we finally settled on a restaurant for lunch: Zi’Ntonio Mare.
Making our way back to town, we also attempted to visit Sorrento Cathedral, but we arrived outside of opening hours so here’s a quick look from the exterior.
From there, we continued down some of Sorrento’s pedestrian-friendly side streets, which were lined with small shops and outdoor produce stalls. Limoncello seemed to be by far the most popular souvenir, so if you’re looking for a taste of the famed lemon liqueur, this is a good place to stock up!
Our last stop of the day were the Cloisters of San Francis, where there was a small art exhibition taking place. These cloisters are also located in small park with great views of the coastline and the Mediterranean Sea, so we enjoyed the views one last time and then it was time to head back.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.

SORRENTO TRAVEL GUIDE (Amalfi Coast)
Thinking of travelling to Sorrento? I visited with my family in July 2017, here's a guide of great things you could do...
The weather was absolutely perfect while we were there, but not what we are used to. We were surprised that the Italian food wasn't as good as we were expecting, for example I ordered a tomato pasta and literally got raw tomatoes on a bed of pasta covered in oil... WHAT?
One tip for drone pilots: the seagulls are crazy there so when flying your drone watch out for them! I had a flock of about 60 all swooping down trying to take out my drone, so stay away from the drone killers!
We stayed in the amazing Hotel Miramare:
One day we decided to rent a boat and sail across to Capri, this was definitely the best thing we did. The views were incredible and our captain Damiano told us all about the history of Capri which was interesting.
Here's the company we used:
We also rented kayaks from this company:

Places to see in ( Sorrento - Italy )
Places to see in ( Sorrento - Italy )
Sorrento - Italy is a coastal town in southwestern Italy, facing the Bay of Naples on the Sorrentine Peninsula. Perched atop cliffs that separate the town from its busy marinas, it’s known for sweeping views and Piazza Tasso, a cafe-lined square. The historic center is a warren of narrow alleys that includes the Chiesa di San Francesco, a 14th-century church with a tranquil cloister.
( Sorrento - Italy ) small city in Campania has earned a plethora of alluring names. Famed for its sea cliffs, the town's steep slopes look out over azure waters to Ischia, Capri and the Bay of Naples. The birthplace of Limoncello liqueur offers some good diving, great sea fishing, boat cruises and appetizing restaurants. Excellent hiking trails cross the peninsula. Rent a car or take a taxi if the steep streets look too intimidating.
Capri - Italy , an island in Italy’s Gulf of Naples, is famed for its rugged landscape, upscale beach resorts and high-end shops selling handmade leather sandals and signature limoncello liqueur. One of its best-known natural sites is the Blue Grotto, a dark cavern where the sea glows electric blue, the result of sunlight passing through an underwater cave.
( Capri - Italy ) is pure romance—dramatic views, the bluest ocean you’ve ever seen, even the scent of lemon blossoms in the air. The luminescent Blue Grotto, striking Faraglioni Rocks and the Palazzo al Mare are popular with travelers, but for a real treat, snorkel at Marina Piccola beach. It’s said to be the spot where Odysseus nearly succumbed to the Sirens’ song… a fitting legend for this alluring island.
Naples - Italy , a big city in southern Italy, sits on the Bay of Naples near Mt. Vesuvius. Dating to the 2nd millennium B.C.E., it has centuries of important art and architecture. Its landmarks include Naples Cathedral, whose Chapel of San Gennaro is filled with frescoes and statues, and the lavish Royal Palace. Naples is also renowned for its distinctive style of thin-crust pizza.
( Napoli - Italy ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Napoli.

Amalfi Coast, Italy: Serene Sorrento
More info about travel to Sorrento: Wedged on a ledge under the mountains and over the sea, spritzed by lemon and orange groves, Sorrento is an attractive resort; well-located both as a springboard for regional sightseeing and as a fine place to simply stay and stroll.

MUST SEE!!! Sorrento Italy; the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria
Sorrento is an amazing place and definitely a must see destination.
I highly recommend staying at the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria, a luxiruous 5 star hotel in the Heart of Sorrento. It is the oldest and most prestigious hotel in Sorrento with a 180 years of history and still contain the historic furnishings. They have been host to many of the rich and famous, such as Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Richard Wagner and Enrico Caruso. Their most famous suites, the Caruso suite, was named after the famous singer.
They offer 84 rooms and suites and every single one amazing. They offer 2 of the best restaurants in Sorrento as well as a large 20000 sqm garden. Which makes it hard to believe that you are in the middle of town.
Their terrace is where you will find the most spectacular sunsets in town while enjoying a cocktail. Enjoy their spa and try to make time for their pool and try one of the best oven baked pizzas in the city.
Their staff is one of the most amazing I have ever encountered, most have been there forever, such as their concierge, Antonito, who has been there for 45 years and his father before him. I would say he is the number 1 concierge in the world!!!
The most amazing sight you will ever see is arriving by sea. It was absolutely breath taking!!! Make sure to add this to your bucket list, you won’t regret it!

Places to see in ( Sorrento - Italy ) Piazza Tasso
Places to see in ( Sorrento - Italy ) Piazza Tasso
Piazza Tasso is a central place and square in Sorrento in the south of Italy. The square is named after the poet Torquato Tasso.
In the main square, well known as Largo of the Caste, is the Baroque Church del Carmine, within its interior a painting by Onofrio Avellino. On the square stands a statue of S. Antonino Abbate. From the square you come onto the shopping street Via San Cesareo. Also near Piazza Tasso is the Palazzo Correale now also a museum, Museum Correale.
Piazza Tasso is the very focal point of Sorrento. Somewhat of a controlled “busy” area. Lots of shoppers and sidewalk cafe goers. People watch here and enjoy a cafe or vino. From this hub you can easily meander the spokes to find great shopping places.
Piazza Tasso is a hive of restaurants, traffic and people. Good thing about this Piazza is that cars are prevented from entering at night. Great place to sit and enjoy all that's going on around you.

Experience Italy: Sorrento Peninsula
If it feels like Italy’s offerings are endless, that’s probably because they are. While you may never be able to explore the whole country in one trip, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. If you’ve always dreamed of immersing yourself in the history, culture, and food of this amazing country, you’re in luck. Let TourRadar take you through even more of the best spots and hidden gems around the Sorrento Peninsula, one of Italy’s most jaw-dropping destinations.
The Sorrento Peninsula is home to some of Italy’s best sights, tastes, and experiences: sip on authentic limoncello, made from the region’s famous lemons, explore the unique gothic architecture of the ancient towns, or embrace Italy’s cultural and religious significance.
On the southern edge of the peninsula you’ll find the Amalfi coast, where you can relax by the beach, chat with locals in markets and restaurants, or hike the famous “Path of the Gods.” The Amalfi is known for amazing food and gorgeous views: even the pickiest eaters and the most discerning travellers are sure to find something to love about it.
If history’s more your thing, check out the lost city of Pompeii, which sits on the peninsula’s western side. Wander the preserved streets to get a real glimpse of what life in this once-bustling city was like. Hike to the top of Mt. Vesuvius for great views of the ruin, and to see what was lost when this dormant volcano erupted all those years ago.
Looking for relaxation? Few places have you covered better than the Sorrento Peninsula. Take a boat to the seaside towns that dot the coast, indulge in a little retail therapy, or just enjoy the atmosphere of some of Italy’s best beaches.
Whether you’re looking for inspiration, getting excited about an upcoming trip, or just daydreaming about pasta and pizza, we hope this video has you ready to experience la dolce vita. We’re sure you’re more than ready to check out the Sorrento Peninsula for yourself, so what are you waiting for?

Sorrento Tour - What to see on a 1 day trip
How to get to Sorrento in Italy and what you can see on holiday in 1 day.
About Sorrento: Sorrento is a town overlooking the Bay of Naples in southern Italy.
It’s within sight of Mount Vesuvius, the only active volcano in mainland Europe.
A popular tourist destination, Sorrento is easy to reach from Naples airport by bus.
Or you can take the Circumvesuviana railway, passing Herculaneum and Pompeii on the way.
My video of what to see in Positano is here (3m10s):
My video of what to see in Capri is here (3m33s):
You can see my Pompeii tour video here (9m06s):
And you can see my Herculaneum tour video here (7m56s):
There are also ferries across the bay to Sorrento’s Marina Piccola.
You can catch ferries from here to the islands of Capri and Ischia as well as back to Naples .
Summer services also run around the Amalfi coastline.
Piazza Tasso, the main square, is a great place to stay.
We stayed at Maison d’Art overlooking the square. It’s a small B&B with friendly staff, free wif-fi AND free cake and a good breakfast.
The elegant cafés in Piazza Tasso, such as the Fauno Bar, are great places to relax and watch the world go by.
Piazza Tasso was named after the 16th century poet Torquato Tasso.
Sorrento is busy with traffic and people all day, even in April, when this film was shot.
and the locals like to weave through the narrow streets on motorbikes and scooters.
Of course, if you fancy something more sedate there are horse-drawn carriages for hire.
The fishing village , Marina Grande, is a great spot to relax away from the busy town centre.
Restaurants, homes and shops rise along the seafront, yet the village has maintained its rustic charm, original identity, and a sense of community.
There's a cottage industry approach toMarina Grande's ancient and primary source of survival, which is fishing.
Plenty of orange trees adorn Sorrento’s streets.
In fact, the cuisine here is big on citrus fruit as well as fish, pizza and pasta.
The varieties of lemon grown around Sorrento date back to Roman times and locals believe that their lemons are the best in the world.
The local liqueur, limoncello, is made from the zest of Sorrento lemons.
Lemons can grow impressively big in these parts too!
Of course, you can buy products from all over Italy here in Sorrento.
Glass is from the Venetian island of Murano, for example.
Or locally produced ceramics.
And Sorrento’s renowned inlaid woodwork.
There are also shops selling a huge variety of leather bags
and stylish shoes and sandals are available at good prices too.
Italy is a Catholic nation and, as you walk around Sorrento, you can see a number of shrines to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Before you leave Sorrento, be sure to check out the Valley of the Mills, just behind Piazza Tasso.
The mill area was isolated from the sea by the construction of Piazza Tasso, which raised the humidity in the valley to unbearable levels and caused the mills in the valley to be abandoned in 1866.
Finally, as day becomes evening you can experience the nighttime ritual of la passeggiata.
As Italians dress up for a gentle stroll through the main streets of the old town, it’s a chance to see and be seen.
