Itinerary

1. 1

   Piazza Tasso

   15min

   Start your walk at Piazza Tasso in Sorrento. Just open the app nearby to begin exploring this bustling square where Renaissance poetry meets modern espresso, all built atop the invisible bones of Roman villas.

2. 2

   Il Vallone dei Mulini

   15min

   Peer over the railing into a verdant abyss where 13th-century industry has been politely, yet firmly, swallowed by a post-apocalyptic jungle of ferns and silence.

3. 3

   Stop 3

   Pass by

   Admire the restrained facade of this thousand-year-old survivor, which hides a ceiling so heavily gilded it makes the Mediterranean sun look like a dim bulb.

4. 4

   Sedile Dominova

   Pass by

   Pause at this 15th-century open-air clubhouse where local aristocrats debated taxes and trade under frescoes that served as a medieval "Who’s Who" of noble power.

5. 5

   Stop 5

   Pass by

   Stand before the spiritual anchor of the city, a church so dedicated to maritime safety that it keeps a literal whale bone as a receipt for a legendary divine rescue.

6. 6

   Stop 6

   Pass by

   Glimpse the serene arches of this 14th-century retreat, where the mismatched columns are actually repurposed Roman "hand-me-downs" used to create a masterclass in architectural recycling.

7. 7

   Piazza della Vittoria

   15min

   Take in the panoramic drama of Mount Vesuvius from this cliffside terrace, where a marble monument stands as a somber reminder that even in paradise, history leaves a mark.

8. 8

   Stop 8

   15min

   Wrap up your tour at Marina Grande. Take a moment to enjoy the view of the bobbing fishing boats and the scent of lemons before ending your tour in the harbor where Sorrento’s soul truly weighs its anchor.
