About Sorrento
Sorrento sits on a terrace of tufa above the Bay of Naples, which makes it an unusually good base for a first visit: Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, Capri and even Naples are all reachable and back before dinner. Start with the Priority Access Pompeii & Mt Vesuvius Full-Day Tour from Sorrento to see both the ruined city and the volcano that buried it, or take the sea route on the Full Day Private Amalfi Coast Tour from Sorrento, Naples or Salerno if you would rather spend the day on the water and in the villages.

Frequently asked questions
Sorrento is a compact base with a port, a train station and a bus terminal, so you can reach Pompeii, Herculaneum, Capri, the Amalfi Coast and Naples without changing hotels. For a first visit, pick one headline site per day rather than cramming two together, and choose a guided option so the context is explained on site.
