Sorrento tours visit the top attractions in and around Sorrento. Check out the views over the city’s beach clubs and Mount Vesuvius, pop into the central cathedral, and stroll through lemon groves where local limoncello is produced. Or, book a day trip to see the ruins of Pompeii, the famous grottos of Capri, or the colorful seaside villages on the Amalfi Coast.

To maximize your time in Sorrento, consider booking sightseeing tours that pack in as many attractions as possible. The Secrets Walk of Sorrento With Locals, for example, lets you taste typical street foods while seeing Marina Grande, Piazza Tasso, Villa Comunale di Sorrento, and the Chiostro di San Francesco—all with Mt. Vesuvius looming beyond.

Sorrento is small enough to visit in one day—you can see the highlights on the main drag, Corso Italia, in the morning, then spend the afternoon lounging on a beach chair. However, Sorrento also makes a fantastic home base for day trips. Stay for three or more days, and you can get to Capri, the Amalfi Coast, Naples, and Pompeii by bus, car, train, or boat.

September is the best month to visit Sorrento. Temperatures in the 70s and 80s mean you can enjoy all the outdoor fun the city has to offer, from aperitifs in the main square to sunny strolls around town and swimming at the beach clubs. If you go later in the month, you’ll also bypass the summer tourists.
