Question

Anyone recommend going to Sorrento in Italy and if so why?

Answer 1

I have visited Sorrento and enjoyed most was drinking beisde the road and eating ox tongue while enjoying the beautiful night scene.

Answer 2

I've been there! It is truly beautiful. Right on the coast with groves and groves of spectacular lemon trees - the smell of lemon blossom in the evening is heavenly!

You can take a drive along the Amalfi coast, catch a train to the ruins of Pompeii, eat lovely food (best food there), try the local liqueur 'limoncello'. There is a market in the middle of the city centre as well.

It is only a small place, so if you like relaxing with a touch of romance, Sorrento will be perfect for you.

Answer 3

yes because its a beautiful place with great views, great restaurants, and close by other gorgeous places like the Isle of Capri and the awesome Amalfi coast, Positano etc etc

(sorry about all the superlatives, but Sorrento is very worthy of a visit). Oh, and the people are nice and friendly, and the women among the most beautiful on the planet.

Answer 4

I have been there a couple of times. It is quaint and beautiful, the food is very good.  It is quiet, but near Pompeii and Naples, with good train service.

Answer 5

Sorrento lies on a Tufa terrace and is enclosed by impressive rocks of the limestone mountains. Sorrento and the Amalfi coast are well known for its splendid big lemons.  Typical products from Sorrento are produced with these "Limoni":  Limoncello, a very tasty lemon liqueur, lemon chocolate, colorful ceramic articles with lemon motives or lemon soap. you should also try the over 70 different ice cream flavours of Gelateria Bougainvillea.

it has a good location as starting point to all the important surrounding sights. The summit of the peninsula of Sorrento is only about 5 km away from Capri, which can be easily reached from the Harbor Marina Piccola. Also Ischia and Procida, of which the silhouettes can be seen on clear days, can be reached very quickly per speedboat. Sorrento is also the terminus of the Circumvesuviana, a small train with its start in Naples. One can reach Pompeii and Herkulaneum by this rail in about thirty minutes and Naples in circa one hour's time.
