You may head to Sorrento with the intention of spending all your time admiring stunning vistas and scoffing pizza, but you'll soon find that many shops selling artisanal goods will lure your eyes away from the landscape and into their windows. You'll find colourful ceramics, intricate intarsia - or wood inlay - furniture, butter-soft leather goods, and beautiful handcrafted bottles of local limoncello.
Indulge in Sorrento's Coastline and Gastronomic Delights
There's little that can prepare you for the onslaught of natural beauty Sorrento has to offer. From volcanic sand beaches that spill into the Tyrrhenian Sea, to myriad hiking and biking trails that wind through the limestone Lattari Mountains, you'll be bowled over by nature. For even more breathtaking panoramas, you can take a day trip to the neighbouring Amalfi Coast, then refuel with a gastronomic tour.

Sorrento By Night - Cocktails By The Sea and Dancing Until Dawn
You'd be hard-pressed to think of a Sorrento without blue skies and eye-popping vistas, but in the evening, you'll find an equally enchanting city that draws you in with its warm atmosphere and endless cocktails. You can enjoy a typical Italian aperitivo with locals, take in some live music, or dance the night away at a club.
From Painting to Opera - Exploring Sorrento's Traditional Arts and Culture Scene
Sorrento’s artistic heyday dates back to the 15th century, when artists and artisans drew inspiration for paintings, sculptures, and intarsia (wood inlay) decorative pieces from the area's stunning scenery.
