Consider when to travel

Sorrento may not be as busy as other cities dotted along the Amalfi Coast. But it's still the gateway to this UNESCO World Heritage Site, which 5 million tourists visit annually.

Travel during the weekdays if possible, as even locals flock here on the weekends. Also, avoid rush hours from 6:30–10 a.m., 12:30–1:30 p.m., and 4:00–8:30 p.m. Otherwise, you could drastically increase the time of the journey.

Make sightseeing stops

Daytrip makes traveling from Sorrento to Naples straightforward. But it can also make it more enriching. Why pass up seeing more of Italy's historic and cultural wonders?

If the grandeur of the Royal Palace of Caserta doesn’t pull you in, you can stop by the iconic Mount Vesuvius. The breathtaking volcano is one of the most active in Europe, dominating the Bay of Naples. Or step back in time in the preserved streets of the ancient city of Pompeii.

Pack for comfort

Depending on your choice of transport, you may need to prepare to create a comfortable journey. For example, if you choose public transport, you need light and comfortable clothing to combat the compact seats. If you plan on exploring sights en route, wear comfortable shoes for crossing hilly terrain or cobbled stone streets.

Remember to pack snacks and water for the three-hour journey, no matter how you travel from Rome to Sorrento.

Brush up on your Italian

Only around 34% of Italians speak English. But in popular tourist destinations like Sorrento, it's much more common.

Nevertheless, if you learn some essential phrases such as grazie (thank you), per favore (please), and prego (you're welcome), the friendly locals will appreciate it. It may even get you better hospitality or a free shot of limoncello after your meal!

The journey is ideal for brushing up on Italian customs and phrases.
