The Journey
Piazza Tasso
Piazza Tasso, the vibrant heart of Sorrento, is named after the celebrated Sorrento-born poet Torquato Tasso. This bustling square is the perfect place to soak in the local atmosphere, with its charming cafes, historical buildings, and lively street performers. It's a central hub for exploring Sorrento's many attractions and a great starting point for your adventure.
Corso Italia
Corso Italia serves as Sorrento's main thoroughfare, connecting the town to the wider Sorrento peninsula. Lined with shops, restaurants, and cafes, this bustling street provides a vibrant glimpse into modern Sorrento life. Stroll along its length to experience the town's energy and discover hidden gems along the way.
Vallone dei Mulini
The Vallone dei Mulini (Valley of the Mills) is an enchanting and dramatically overgrown gorge hidden within Sorrento. Once a thriving industrial area with mills powered by the stream, it has been abandoned and reclaimed by nature, creating a surreal and captivating scene. Its unique beauty makes it one of the most photographed spots in Sorrento.
Sorrento Cathedral
The Duomo dei Santi Filippo e Giacomo, Sorrento's cathedral, is a captivating blend of architectural styles. Inside, discover a remarkable Neapolitan nativity scene dating back to the 1700s, the baptistery where Torquato Tasso was baptized, and exquisite examples of local wood inlay artistry. This is a key stop for immersing yourself in Sorrento's artistic and religious heritage.
Villa Comunale
The Villa Comunale offers unparalleled panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples. Perched on a cliffside, this public park provides breathtaking vistas of the sea, Mount Vesuvius, and the coastline. It is the perfect spot for a memorable photo opportunity and a moment of peaceful contemplation, a must-visit during your Sorrento visit.
Cloister of San Francesco
Adjacent to the Church of San Francesco, the medieval cloister dating back to the 13th century presents a tranquil oasis of serenity and history. Its unique architectural style, with interwoven arches and plant motifs, makes it a truly special location. Today, it serves as a picturesque venue for civil marriages, adding to its romantic allure.
Via San Cesareo
Via San Cesareo, the ancient main street of Sorrento, is now a shopper's paradise, offering a delightful array of local souvenirs, handicrafts, and regional delicacies. Wander through its narrow, pedestrian-friendly lanes to discover unique treasures and experience the authentic charm of Sorrento's artisan community.
Sedile Dominova
The Sedile Dominova stands as a testament to Sorrento's rich history. This remarkably preserved medieval building once served as the seat of local government until 1800. It is one of the last remaining examples of this type of open-air structure in Campania, making it a unique and significant historical landmark.
Marina Grande
Marina Grande, Sorrento's charming fishing village, is a step back in time. Here, you can experience the authentic maritime traditions of the Sorrento coast. Enjoy fresh seafood at waterfront restaurants, watch the fishermen at work, and soak in the relaxed atmosphere of this picturesque harbor, capturing the true essence of Sorrento's coastal life.
