A well-known destination in Sorrento Coast, Sorrento lies steep on the sea in front of the island of Capri, surrounded, behind, by pleasant hills, tuff mountains which, with their paths, allow visitors to make interesting excursions and strolls in the nature.

Of incomparable beauty is the view Sorrento offers on the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Naples and important for its geographical location which allows to reach in short the main neighbouring tourist resorts such as Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Naples, Capri and Ischia.

A place of great cultural inspiration for artists and intellectuals from all over the world, Sorrento is the ideal place for relaxing holidays at sea to be spent in the numerous tourist facilities the town has: hotels, bed and breakfasts, residences and holiday villas. But the classical holiday at sea in Sorrento may be combined with an interesting cultural holiday thanks to the numerous historical and artistic itineraries and with the presence of archaeological sites, such as the ruins of the Necropolis of Aequa.

Not to be missed are also the suggestive monuments of the old town centre: the Cathedral, in Romanic style and rich in frescos, has a bell tower put against an arch supported by four columns; the Cloister of San Francesco, next to the church of San Francesco, of Arabian origin, has some tuff crossed arches, the Correale Museum of Terranova which keeps historical evidences of the town and objects of Sorrento wood inlay tradition; the Museum of Villa Fondi, a seat of important cultural, music and art events; and finally the enchanting Public Garden, a wonderful terrace overlooking the sea.
