Where to stay
Centro Storico near Piazza Tasso for a first visit. You're 5 minutes from the Circumvesuviana train to Pompeii and Naples, 10 from the Marina Piccola ferry dock for Capri day trips. Budget €100-170 per night for a mid-range room with a balcony over the Bay of Naples. Sant'Agnello, one train stop east, runs €30-50 cheaper.

Pompeii, 30 minutes east on the Circumvesuviana train from Sorrento. The excavated city covers 44 hectares of streets, bakeries, bathhouses, and frescoed villas frozen since 79 AD. Book a timed 9am entry online. By 11am the site bakes above 35°C with no shade. Budget 3 to 4 hours minimum.

Food culture
Sorrento's food runs on lemons, mozzarella di bufala, and whatever the fishing boats pull into Marina Grande before 8am. Gnocchi alla sorrentina, baked with fior di latte and tomato sauce, is the defining dish. Lunch starts at 1pm and dinner rarely before 8:30pm. The best eating happens below the cliff line, not on Corso Italia.
