Sorrento is a popular choice of home base for exploring the Amalfi Coast! It claims great restaurants, beautiful views, and great day trip options without needing a car.
I've put together a guide on my website covering all the details of getting into the Amalfi Coast, with different transportation options depending on your budget.
Sorrento
Sorrento the city is set high on a cliff overlooking the sea. Meaning you have some incredible views, but also that there’s plenty of walking up and down steep hills to get to the water. You can catch taxis from certain points (the train station and the marina, for example) but know that you’ll be doing plenty of steep walking!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater!
I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where!
I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too!
If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you!
My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny.
I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
