Welcome to Sorrento — where the scent of lemons floats through the air and the sea sparkles under every sunset. This isn’t just a destination, it’s a way of life. As someone who lives here, let me share with you 7 unforgettable experiences that every traveler should enjoy when visiting Sorrento. These are the ones we locals swear by — and now you can too!

1. Boat Trip to Capri

🌴 Boat Trip to Capri – For those seeking glamour and nature

Ideal if you want to explore caves, swim in turquoise waters and experience the charm of the most iconic island in the Gulf of Naples.

Highlights:

• Blue grotto, White grotto and Green Grotto
• The Faraglioni (photo obligatory!)
• Relaxing on the island among boutiques, cafés and views
• Atmosphere: elegant, romantic, perfect for a day in the movies

🌊 Boat Trip to the Amalfi Coast – For those who love villages and epic views

Ideal if you want to sail along one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, admiring the perched villages and stopping at picture-postcard locations such as Positano, Amalfi or Ravello (with combined tours).

Highlights:

• Swimming stops in hidden bays
• Stroll through the colourful alleyways of Positano
• History and art in Amalfi, with its cathedral
• Atmosphere: scenic, authentic, perfect for those who want to discover several places in one day

If I had to give one piece of advice as a local:

👉 Capri is perfect if you want a more ‘island-like’ experience, elegant and immersive.

👉 Amalfi Coast is ideal if you want to see many different places in one day, enjoying the charm of travelling between sea and land.

Tip: for a cheaper tour choose ‘Capri by ferry or Amalfi by ferry’. They are experiences that take you to explore the entire island and the entire coast at a cheap price!

2. Wander Through the Historic Center

Lose yourself in the charming backstreets of Sorrento and Piazza Tasso. From artisanal shops to the scent of fresh limoncello and hidden alleyways, the historic center is full of surprises. Stop by a local workshop to see traditional wood inlay being made — a true Sorrento craft.

3. Cooking Class or Pizza School with a View

Imagine preparing homemade gnocchi alla sorrentina on a terrace overlooking the Gulf of Naples. With UGo Experience’s cooking classes, you’ll not only learn to cook like a local but also enjoy the view (and your delicious creation) like one too.

And if you’re more into pizza (who isn’t?), you can join a Pizza School in a Sorrento garden! Make your own Neapolitan pizza surrounded by lemon trees, guided by a real pizzaiolo. It’s the perfect combo of fun, flavor, and authentic tradition. Dough tossing is encouraged!

4. Sunset Boat Tour along the Coast

There’s nothing more magical than watching the sun dip into the sea from the deck of a boat. With UGo Experience, you can book a private sunset cruise with a glass of Prosecco in hand and Mount Vesuvius glowing in the distance. Pure bliss!

5. Farmhouse Experience: Discover the Soul of Sorrento

Want to connect with the true heart of our region? Then don’t miss the Farmhouse Experience. This immersive journey into the Sorrento countryside takes you to a family-run farm nestled among lemon groves and olive trees. You’ll harvest fresh ingredients, visit the organic garden, and learn traditional recipes straight from the source.

The pace slows down, the food tastes better, and the people feel like family. It’s not just about tasting local flavors — it’s about becoming part of the story. And yes, there’s homemade limoncello… but after living the process, it tastes like something more.

With UGo Experience, you’re not just a tourist — you’re a guest.

6. Explore the Peninsula by Scooter

For the ultimate freedom, rent a scooter and ride along the coast like a true Italian. Discover hidden gems like Massa Lubrense, Termini, and Nerano. With every curve, you’ll catch views that will leave you breathless. Helmet on, adventure mode activated.

7. Hike the Path of the Gods 

If you’re up for a bit of adventure and jaw-dropping views, don’t miss the Path of the Gods — one of the most scenic hikes in all of Italy. Starting from the hills above the Amalfi Coast, this trail winds along cliffs and valleys with panoramic views of the sea, Capri, and tiny villages below.

With UGo Experience, you can join a guided hike departing directly from Sorrento, making it easy and stress-free to explore this natural wonder. Along the way, your guide will share local stories, legends, and insights about the flora, fauna, and traditions of this ancient land.

It’s not just a hike — it’s a spiritual experience. You’ll walk where shepherds, poets, and farmers once did, feeling the magic of the mountains meet the sea.

Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just someone who loves nature, the Path of the Gods is a must. Wear comfy shoes, bring water, and don’t forget your camera — every turn is postcard material.

These are the experiences I’d recommend to my best friend visiting Sorrento. And to make the most of them, let UGo Experience be your guide. This isn’t just a place to see — it’s a place to feel. And we’re here to help you feel every moment.

See you in Sorrento!
