Sorrento Tourist Attractions and Sorrento Sightseeing
(Sorrento, Campania, Italy, IT)



A traditional Italian city with fragrant groves of citrus trees, many gorgeous sandy beaches and innumerable coastal tourist attractions, Sorrento is for many the perfect holiday resort. One of the very best ways to sightsee is to simply hop on board an inexpensive orange city bus and then enjoy the views and attractions as you drive around the area towards the Marina Grande and the Capo Sorrento.

Other tourists prefer to explore the city on foot, or spend time sunbathing on one of the many popular beaches around Sorrento's marinas. If you have time, do take a stroll to the Villa Comunale, where the sea views can only be imagined, or alternatively check out the wildlife and natural attractions within the Punta Campanella Marine Reserve, or the awesome coastal scenery around the Bagni di Regina Giovanna (Queen Joan's Baths).
