Sorrento is a marvellous coastal town located in southwestern Italy, perched beautifully on the Amalfi Coast, offering stunning views overlooking the Bay of Naples. Known as the gateway to the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento is famous for its charming narrow alleyways, iconic pastel-colored houses, and cliff-top position providing breathtaking landscapes. This town is celebrated for its quality production of Limoncello, an intensely lemon-flavored liqueur, traditionally served as a digestive after dinner. Sorrento boasts fragrant lemon gardens, historic sites like the 14th-century Chiesa di San Francesco, lovely marinas, and beaches. The sunset in Sorrento is an unforgettable experience, as is dining in one of its many restaurants offering exquisite Italian cuisine accompanied by views of the dusk-touched bay.

Italy, nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea in Southern Europe, is a country known for its iconic contributions to art, history, fashion, food, and music. Home to an incredible 55 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the country is famed for monuments like the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the Vatican City - the smallest country in the world. Italy is the birthplace of the Renaissance, a period that produced artists and scholars such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo who left an unparalleled cultural legacy. Internationally renowned for its cuisine, Italy is the land of pizza, pasta, and world-class wine, inviting its visitors to indulge in its rich and diverse gastronomic culture. The breathtaking landscapes of the Amalfi Coast, the romantic waterways of Venice, and the rustic charm of Tuscany offer a compelling blend of sightseeing delights and leisurely pursuits.

However, be mindful that the United States Government suggests exercising increased caution due to potential terrorism threats. Stay vigilant and aware of your surroundings at all times.

Beautiful small town. It is a good destination if you are planning on visiting the Amalfi coast and want to stay on a budget.
You can get to Positano, Amalfi, and Capri by bus, or even rent a boat.

The only thing I didn't like was the catcalling and the men following around. I wouldn't recommend walking alone at night.

I am still in Sorrento for another 4 days and I am spending a great days.
The food is amazing, the people are nice and I feel very safety when I walk in the  streets.
If you go to a restaurant for dinner, you will spend between 25-50 EUR.
