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.
Posted: June 7, 2024Sorrento was one of my favorite cities in Italy. I felt very safe there, and the people were very kind (I felt safe even as a lone woman at night). I recommend Sorrento as a great base for visiting other places on the Amalfi coast.
Posted: August 1, 2023I was in Sorrento alone and I recommend: - a one-day trip to Capri, you can get there by ferry from the port in Sorrento - Path of the Gods, which can be included in a tour along the Amalfi coast, the views are incredible, and the hike isn't too difficult. I recommend starting in Bomerano, because the bus will take you there most of the way, and then it's a fairly easy walk down or on flat terrain - Mount Vesuvius and the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, all easily accessible by train and bus, plenty of information online and people are really helpful.

Sorrento is a very quiet city, It is a perfect destination for a solo traveler. Napoli can be a little bit more hectic and you will definitely need to keep an eye on your belongings. Other than that, it is also a really wonderful and romantic city to visit
