These are just a few of the more popular tourist attractions in Sorrento, along with a brief description:
♦ Amalfi Coast
One of the most popular lures of Sorrento is its close proximity to the famous Amalfi Coast. This UNESCO World Heritage site attracts thousands of visitors each year with its stunning beauty alone. There are a few fabulous ways that you can enjoy the Amalfi Coast during your time in town. You could rent a car enjoy it during a scenic ride, or take a boat off the coastline to admire it from sea. Don’t forget your camera, as you will simply be blown away from the incredible scenery.
♦ Villa Comunale
An incredible way to spend time outside in Sorrento is by visiting Villa Comunale. Conveniently located in the middle of town, this open-air park features stunningly landscaped gardens, breathtaking views (including the opportunity to see the entire Gulf of Naples), and the occasional art display. Top your visit off with a fresh cup of coffee from the nearby restaurant, and you’ve got a picture-perfect afternoon! If you come by night, you may even be able to see the city lights from Naples at this vantage point before witnessing a magnificent sunset.
♦ Sorrento Cathedral
No trip to Sorrento is complete without a visit to Sorrento Cathedral! This 11th century church was rebuilt around the 15th century, where it got the Romanesque architecture that it boasts today. Some of the most magnificent features of this church include a three-story bell tower with a clock, a nave painted with some beautiful frescoes, and a marble altar that dates to the 16th century. Even if you’re not religious, a visit to Sorrento Cathedral is worth it just to admire the incredible woodwork and peaceful ambiance.
