Sorrento takes on a whole different look at night. The town comes alive in a magical way after dark.

Take a passeggiata (evening stroll) down the coast and watch the mountains light up in a scenic flurry.

Sorrento is the birthplace of limoncello. Therefore, drinking it is a must during your trip as well as hunting the boutique shops for the very best, family tradition, artisanal bottle to bring home with you. Another thing you must try is the city’s signature dish: Gnocchi Alla Sorrentino. This special, soft gnocchi is baked with homemade tomato sauce and topped with mozzerella, parmisan cheese and fresh basil leaves. It sounds simple, but it’s incredibly good. To experience more of the local food culture, then take a Sorrento food tour and perhaps even a cooking class.

The famous Amalfi Coast is full of incredible sights all the way to Amalfi. On the way, stop by Positano, a jaw-droppingly, stunning city built right into the cliffs along the Amalfi Coast. This is a sight you have to see!

You absolutely cannot miss seeing the legendary ruins of Pompeii. History tells us that in 79 A.D. Mount Vesuvius erupted, resulting in the most dramatic natural disaster in recorded history. After the intense eruption destroyed the city, it was eerily preserved by 30 feet of ash. Thanks to this ash, we can now see, in detail, what everyday life was like for ancient Romans. The bodies of the victims have been meticulously preserved in casts with their facial expressions depicting their futile flight from the inferno.
