Sorrento

sorrento travel guide
Sorrenti is a sea town but is not flanked by a seaside walk, meaning that to go the beach you must descend from the hillside. Facing the sea from Tasso Square, located in the center of town, there is a stairway that descends to the Marina, and those who don't enjoy walking can take a bus that leaves from the same square. The square is dedicated to Torquato Tasso, the famous Italian poet who was born in the city in 1544. His statue embellishes the square which also hosts the statue of Saint Antonio, the patron saint of Sorrento. A site that should not be missed is the Museo Correale of Terranova which showcases an interesting collection of Greek, Roman and medieval marble statues, porcelain objects, luxurious Neopolitan furniture and paintings by both Italian and foreign masters. Even during the winter Sorrento has much to offer; the program Sorrento Inverno organizes concerts, exhibits, guided tours, and film screenings that are held outdoors during the winter months.
