Located on the Sorrentine Peninsula, Sorrento is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Italy. Due to its central location and excellent connections to train, ferry, and bus, Sorrento is a great base to take day trips to the Amalfi coast, Capri, Naples, Pompeii, and Herculaneum.
Sorrento has a rich history dating back to the 7th century BC when it was settled by Greeks. It was later ruled by the Romans, Byzantines, Normans, and others. Its economy thrived on agriculture, fishing, and tourism, and it became a popular resort destination in the 19th century.
With historical sites, beautiful beaches, and breathtaking views of the Bay Of Naples and Mount Vesuvius, Sorrento is a city that truly has something for everyone.
Sorrento is general a safe city with very low violent crimes. But as a popular tourist city, there are scams and pickpocketing, so keep your valuables secure on the bus or in crowded tourist spots.

Where to stay in Sorrento?
The best areas to stay in Sorrento for tourists are Piazza Tasso, Corso Italia, Leonelli’s Beach, Sant Agnello, Piano Di Sorrento, and Priora. These are Sorrento’s safest locations for travelers, offering plenty of accommodation options for all budgets.
The overall best area to stay in Sorrento is Piazza Tasso/ City Center due to its central location, excellent connection to public transportation, and proximity to major attractions and amenities. Staying here offers easy access to many sights, beaches, restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops.
Sorrento historic center is the most convenient location, where you find Sorrento’s main square, Piazza Tasso, and its main thoroughfare, Corso Italia. If you want to stay in the beach front area, consider book a hotel around Leonelli’s Beach, Marina Grande, and Marina Piccola.
Piazza Tasso is the best place to stay in Sorrento without a car due to its prime location, with plenty of attractions that can be explored on foot. With easy access to the bus and Circumvesuviana train, you can take day trips to Amalfi Coast, Napoli, Pompeii, and Herculaneum.
Corso Italia is filled with bars, clubs, and restaurants to suit all tastes, so is the perfect choice for those who prioritize nightlife. Correale Museum is more of a residential neighborhood.
In addition to Sorrento city center, you can consider staying in surrounding neighborhoods such as Priora, Sant Agnello, and Piano Di Sorrento for a more local atmosphere. Many hotels in these areas offer free shuttle buses to/from Sorrento, which is a few minutes’ ride away.
Priora is the most affordable so is ideal for those on a budget, and also offers some of the most stunning views anywhere in the area. It is located on the hill, west of Sorrento city center.
Sant Agnello and Piano Di Sorrento are both located between Sorrento and Naples. With fabulous transport links, they are ideal for those looking to explore the entire Amalfi Coast, and each offers its own unique charm. Sant Agnello also offers lots of hotels with stunning ocean views.
To book hotel, I recommend spending at least five days in Sorrento to explore the city. 5 days is enough to see famous attractions, enjoy the beaches, taste local food and wine, get the sense of the local culture and history. You can even take a day trip to Amalfi Coast, Pompeii and Capri.
Most hotels in Sorrento offer stunning views because the town is already perched atop cliffs and is renowned for its breathtaking vistas of the Mediterranean Sea. Many luxury resorts have terraces, infinity pools, and private balconies that provide gorgeous sea views.
Where did I stay in Sorrento?
When I first visited Sorrento, I stayed for 3 nights at the mid-range Hotel Michelangelo on Corso Italia. It has a prime location close to the train station/bus stops, and a short walk to the bustling center and ferry boats. My room was spacious and my breakfast was nice with many options.
