Free Time in Sorrento
Sorrento, Italy
About This Activity
Sorrento's Corso Italia shopping street connects Piazza Tasso to the Villa Comunale park — walk it for limoncello shops, ceramics from Vietri sul Mare, and carved wood inlay products (intarsia) unique to Sorrento. The Villa Comunale garden is free and has benches facing Vesuvius across the bay. For a quick detour, take the 25-minute ferry to Capri (€20) or a 35-minute boat to Ischia (€22) for a few hours on the islands.
Seasonal note: Year-round; best in spring and autumn
