Sorrento Recommendations

Piazza Tasso: This is the main square and hub in the city center, surrounded by cafes, restaurants, and shops, a good spot to soak up the atmosphere and close to Corso Italia. The church we’ll be married in is just a 2 minute walk from here.

Corso Italia: This is the main shopping street in Sorrento, it’s pedestrianised and lined with shops, boutiques, restaurants, and bars. You can also find great shopping and little places to eat and drink in the smaller streets and alleyways branching off from Corso Italia.

Marina Grande: This is Sorrento’s charming fishing village, at sea level beneath the cliffs. It’s about a 10–15 minute walk downhill from Piazza Tasso, or you can take the public lift near Villa Comunale, there’s also a taxi rank down there if you prefer taking that back.

Chiesa di San Francesco: Explore the cloisters and then take a walk to the beautiful terrace for views of the Bay of Naples and Sorrento.

Local Beach Clubs
