Day Trip to Sorrento, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Considered the official start of the Amalfi Coast, the cliff-perched town of Sorrento makes for a quick and easy day trip. We caught the train in Pompei at Villa dei Misteri and took the Circumvesuviana line all the way down the coast. Our plan for the day? To eat and wander around without much of an itinerary.
Since we were visiting just before the holidays, the streets were decked out with all sorts of Christmas decorations. We befriended a few dogs along the way, and then we found a spot to indulge in coffees and pastries.
After walking through the town, we started making our way down to the waterfront, more specifically, to Marina Grande. This harbour is line with pastel-coloured buildings, boats bobbing in the water, and lots of seafood restaurants.
After walking the length of the marina and browsing through menus, we finally settled on a restaurant for lunch: Zi’Ntonio Mare.
Making our way back to town, we also attempted to visit Sorrento Cathedral, but we arrived outside of opening hours so here’s a quick look from the exterior.
From there, we continued down some of Sorrento’s pedestrian-friendly side streets, which were lined with small shops and outdoor produce stalls. Limoncello seemed to be by far the most popular souvenir, so if you’re looking for a taste of the famed lemon liqueur, this is a good place to stock up!
Our last stop of the day were the Cloisters of San Francis, where there was a small art exhibition taking place. These cloisters are also located in small park with great views of the coastline and the Mediterranean Sea, so we enjoyed the views one last time and then it was time to head back.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.

Do you happen to know the name of the cafe with the nice cakes and coffee? Thanks in advance
YOu guys rock! My next trip to Italy definitely will be in Sorrento and some of the other cities nearby.
Really enjoy your videos
Quick? Would you stay in Naples or Sorrento as a base
Thanks:)
I love seeing you two bickering at the end. It's adorable. I noticed that Audrey's smiles never touches her eyes. Maybe it's because you're a tense person. Would like to see a side that's more relaxed and laid back.
In Argentina, Italians (resident, native, of Italian origin) are about 25,000,000. It is the second nation after Italy to have the Italian first ethnic group.
Wish I watched this before going a couple weeks ago! (Did watch naples pizza and ate based on your recs). But guess what….oh Sorrento…Christmas decorations remain up all.year.long 🙈🙈🙈
What camera were you using to capture this video? You worked it well.

3:19 You should taste the ricotta and pears cake(torta ricotta e pera) along with the lemon delight(delizia al limone) are specialties of the Amalfi coast.. my favorites! 😀
I see food all time no Sorrento
Pizza mafiosi!
Nice jacket! I really like it! You two convinced me that winter it’s not the perfect time to travel to Italy. I would prefer to travel between September and November because I don’t like cool weather.
I`m going in January. Glad to know the weather was nice at this time of the year!
Your video is very nice. We love Sorrento too! My family and I just cane back from a 3 week European vacation that ended in Sorrento. My husband and I have been before and we're so happy to bring our kids back with us. I actually had a seafood pizza my last night there, and it was amazing!
10:41 Sorrento is the home of “ limoncello “ !
2:54 Remember please that “ panini ” is plural, when you eat only one, it says “ panino ” (singular). Greetings from an Italian ! 😉👍
