Praiano to Naples and Sorrento: Private day trip

Although Naples is one of the oldest cities in Italy, it looks quite young. Naples has touches of old architecture and charm but the heart of the city has plenty of high rises, and tall building complexes because it was the most bombed Italian city in World War II. Even with recent rebuilds, Naples has beautiful opera and theatre houses. From the popular film Eat, Pray, Love, Julia Roberts travels to Naples to try some of the original wood fired Neapolitan pizza. Take a visit to the Piazza del Gesu or one of the many popular churches just a stone's throw from the main train station. Naples port is one of the busiest of Italy so be sure to watch all the cruise ships go in and out while you enjoy a gelato on the promenade.

Settled by the Ancient Greeks, the dramatic clifftop city of Sorrento became a staple holiday destination in the 19th century when Lord Byron brought it to the attention of the vacationing literary geniuses including Dickens, Goethe, and Tolstoy. This stunning city has been attracting discerning travelers ever since, who are treated to stunning views, as well as beautiful historic monuments, such as the Cathedral, the doors of which originated in Constantinople in the 11th century. Along with the scenery and monuments, Sorrento (and the Amalfi Coast) is known for its cuisine, and limoncello. If you want a taste of local culture, take a guided tour at one of the city's many limoncello distilleries!
