The heart of Sorrento is Piazza Tasso. From here, you can walk to Via San Cesareo, the main shopping street of Sorrento where you can find handicrafts such as inlaid works, artistic ceramics and scented wax, or delicacies like "limoncello" sweets, "rosolio" liqueur, jams and preserved vegetables, or silver jewels, corals and cameos, valuable embroideries on table-cloths and handkerchiefs and Neapolitan eighteenth century crib’s figurines.

Day 1 of my Sorrento vacation ends with this spectacualr display, followed by fireworks in town to celebrate the Feast of St. Costanzo. Who could ask for more ??
Stay in a hotel - in my case Il Nido - that faces the Bay of Naples/Mt. Vesuvius and this is your sideview from the dining terrace every evening as the sun sets. Sometimes after a full day of touring and exploring there is no need to seek any more nightife than this - simply wonderful.

This Bar epitomizes what is great about Italy. Its right at the main piazza of Sorrento so you can sit at one of the small tables and just people watch. By the way of course as a typical bar in italy they have excellent espresso as well as all liquors and beers. Also small snacks and sandwiches.
Dress Code: Regular street clothes

Bar Fauno was a good place right in the centre of the Piazza Tasso which is Sorrento's main square. Slightly more expensive but a great place to people watch. Over the road is a smaller place called Bar Erculo (i think) which is cheaper and just as good a spot. Bars tend to shut at 2am but we were in Bar Fauno twice till well after 3 - they dont hurry to get rid of you.
Dress Code: You can wear what you like and being a touristy city there is always a real mix of people. You may like to get dressed up though as the Italians look very glamorous.

Tonino, the Bar Manager at the Aminta has to be the best barman in Sorrento. We had several fun evenings here. One night a local singer and guitarist entertained us into the wee hours as we sang along drinking lemoncello.
The bar is a great place to meet fellow travelers. For some reason Sorrento is very popular with Brits, while nearby Positano is more where the Americans stay. I enjoyed meeting many British people here.
Dress Code: Resort casual. But no swimsuits please.

Sorrento is a busy place in the evenings. From 8 until 12 the streets in the centre are closed to traffic, and they fill with pedestrians (mostly tourists) out for a pre or post dinner evening stroll. This area is also full of cafes, restaurants and gelaterie (ice-cream places) as well as the numerous shops which open late every night.

I'll be honest..........I didn't deliberately choose to visit Sorrento for itself. The first trip in 2008 was to see Pompeii, and Herculaneum, and Oplontis. I didn't fancy staying in Naples, so...
