The Sorrento City Guides answer what every visitor wonders: where to eat gnocchi alla sorrentina away from the photo menus on Piazza Tasso, how to reach Pompeii, Capri and the Amalfi Coast on public transport, where to watch the sun drop over the bay and how to enjoy the town without overpaying. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or see and one practical tip for every place, ready in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Taverna Azzurra
Marina Grande, near the boats
A family place with blue and white tables right on the old fishing harbour. Order the ravioli filled with crab and prawns, and take the house wine by the carafe, which costs less than by the glass. From the food guide.
Monastero di San Paolo
Il Deserto, Sant’Agata sui Due Golfi
A convent high on a ridge, with the Bay of Naples on one side, the Bay of Salerno on the other and Capri out ahead. Climb to the roof platform for the full circle of views; in winter you may have it almost to yourself. From the things to do guide.
Scavi di Pompei
Pompei Scavi stop, about 35 minutes by Circumvesuviana
The Roman town buried by Vesuvius in AD 79, with its streets, houses, a theatre and an amphitheatre. Give it three hours at least and about €20 for a full ticket; winter means short queues but an earlier closing. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Sorrento
Day one belongs to the town: churches and the cloister in the morning, lunch at Marina Grande, the cliff-top garden of Villa Comunale at sunset and a wine bar in the lanes behind Corso Italia. Day two takes the Circumvesuviana to Pompeii or Herculaneum, or the ferry to Capri, with Naples and the Amalfi Coast kept for a third day if you have one. On a rainy or slow day, book a pizza or cooking class in the hills, visit the inlaid-wood museum and the Correale villa, then settle into a long lunch in a family trattoria.
