Italy has many picturesque towns and cities. The truth is that if you wanted to get to know all of Italy, you couldn't do it more than spending a whole year touring the country from end to end. Impossible for many of us. But maybe we can go several times throughout our lives and in each trip add a new destination or route.
On the spectacular Amalfi Peninsula is the city of Sorrento. It is a charming town, built along a cliff and surrounded by olive and lemon groves. South of Naples, it is one of the destinations in this part of Italy that I recommend not to miss. In sorrento there is a historic center and a newer sector, but the Roman past is seen more in the first, the same is the medieval footprints.
Between tourist attractions in Sorrento we highlight an imposing building from the XNUMXth century, the Sedile Dominova, with its dome built in the XNUMXth century, the San Francisco church in the square of the same name, with its charming cloister where concerts usually take place in summer, the picturesque public gardens that are in the cliff and that give us great views of the sea and Vesuvius, the semi-beach of Settlements, docks actually, along the sea and where we can get our feet wet, the Correale Museum and via San Cesareo, the main street that crosses the old town of Sorrento.
If you stay in Sorrento you can, in addition to enjoying the city and its attractions, organize walks to Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius or the Bay of Naples, for example. And how do you get to Sorrento, are you wondering? Well if you are in Naples you arrive by train or ferry. By ferry you can also reach the island of Capri and the villages of the Amalfi coast in summer.
I always travel alone how safe is it, and if you can tell me a family hostel
