Car trip from Florence to Sorrento

Leaving Florence's Renaissance legacy behind, this car trip’s distance covers approximately 318 - 364 miles (512 - 586 km) of picturesque Italian countryside. You'll pass through endless vineyards, olive groves, medieval towns, and glimpses of the Tyrrhenian Sea until you arrive in Sorrento, the Gateway to the Amalfi Coast.

Get your camera ready as you hit the road

Set aside a couple of stops to enjoy local delicacies along the way. You can taste Tuscan dishes in Chianti and authentic Neapolitan pizza in Naples. The drive typically takes around 5-7 hours, depending on traffic and your desired stops.

Plan your itinerary to include visits to historic gems like Rome or Naples for added exploration and cultural immersion. Remember, there are tolls on certain highway sections, so be prepared to have Euros on hand or cards for smooth travel if you're driving yourself. Of course, when you take a private car with Daytrip, you don't have to worry about any of that.

About Sorrento

Traveling from Florence to Sorrento leads you to a treasure trove of art, culture, and history. Picture streets filled with the scent of fresh lemons. Bustling markets with local delights and a vibrant atmosphere capture the essence of Italian charm. Oh, and swimming in the sparkling waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Yup, that’s Sorrento.

Sorrento, situated in southern Italy, holds a significant place in history. The town's strategic location overlooking the Bay of Naples has made it a pivotal maritime hub since antiquity. It was founded by the Greeks and later became something of a holiday destination for the Romans.

The landmarks

One of Sorrento's notable landmarks is the Cathedral of Saints Philip and James, a splendid example of medieval architecture. Built in the 11th century, it stands as a testament to the town's religious and cultural heritage. Another iconic site is the Vallone dei Mulini, or the Valley of the Mills, an archaeological site that showcases the remnants of ancient flour mills nestled amidst vegetation.

Increased accessibility

Sorrento's transportation infrastructure has evolved over the centuries to accommodate the growing influx of visitors. In the past, travel to Sorrento was predominantly undertaken by sea, with ships and boats ferrying passengers from nearby ports. However, with the advent of modern transportation, such as trains and automobiles, accessibility to Sorrento has significantly improved.

The introduction of the Circumvesuviana railway in the late 19th century revolutionized travel to Sorrento, providing a convenient and affordable means of transportation from Naples and other nearby cities. Now millions of people pass through Sorrento every year, most heading to the UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast.

From Florence to Sorrento: Travel tips

Embrace the adventure and follow these travel tips to enjoy your journey from Florence to Sorrento to the fullest.

Get a SIM card

Florence is big enough that you could get away using the free wifi you find around the city. But Sorrento is much smaller, and free wifi is much less prevalent. And what about on the road or in small villages on the way? If you need constant Internet access and don't have a roaming plan, get your own SIM card. WindTre has great coverage throughout Italy, ensuring that you can be contacted anywhere on the road. Keep in mind there is an activation fee for SIM cards and no e-SIMs are available for tourists with prepaid packages.

Carry cash

Cash is still king in Italy, and this goes doubly true for smaller towns. It's a good idea to keep euros on hand for day-to-day expenses like bathrooms or lunch in a local ristorante. Also, make sure you inform your bank that you’re traveling abroad so that when you do make card payments, it won’t be blocked by fraud protection.

Stop for sightseeing

At 5.5 hours, you might get a bit stir-crazy on the drive from Florence to Sorrento. Fortunately, you can easily add some excitement while stretching your legs by adding sightseeing stops. Wander the medieval streets of Lucignano, hike the infamous Mt. Vesuvius, stop for lunch and wine at Cantine del Vesuvio, or step back in time at the Pompeii archaeological site. When you travel by private car with Daytrip, your driver will watch your luggage so you can focus on enjoying yourself!

How to get from Florence to Sorrento

The distance from Florence to Sorrento isn’t short, which makes understanding the available transportation options crucial. Below, we’ve outlined your choices so you can decide how to get from Florence to Sorrento.

Florence to Sorrento by train

One of the most popular methods of traveling from Florence to Sorrento is by train. The train journey typically involves taking a high-speed train from Florence's main station, Santa Maria Novella, to Naples Centrale, followed by a local train to Sorrento. Unfortunately, there is no direct train, and the ride is a little over 5 hours long. Tickets range from $78 to $102, but of course, prices vary slightly depending on when you book and what type of seats you decide on. Buy tickets online or at the train station.

Florence to Sorrento by bus

The bus is the cheapest way to get from Florence to Sorrento. Several bus companies operate routes between the two cities, with bus tickets costing between $40-$55. They sometimes have onboard services like wifi, but, the average bus trip takes just over 10 hours and requires a change in Rome. You’ll have to decide if the cost savings are worth the extra time and discomfort.

Florence to Sorrento by private car with Daytrip

A private car is the only direct way to get from Florence to Sorrento and takes about 5.5 hours. Book with Daytrip, and your English-speaking driver will meet you at your door in Florence, help with your luggage, and then hit the road to Sorrento. Along the way, you can chat with them about local culture or stop for sightseeing before you’re dropped off at your destination in Sorrento.

Florence to Sorrento by rental car

For travelers seeking flexibility and the freedom to explore at their own pace, driving from Florence to Sorrento is an option worth considering. Depending on which highway you take, the duration may be about 5-6 hours. While driving provides autonomy and the opportunity to move at your own pace, it's important to factor in fuel costs, tolls, and potential parking fees.

Flight from Florence to Sorrento

There are no direct flights from Florence to Sorrento. The closest airport serving Sorrento is Naples Airport (NAP), and there aren’t direct flights there, either. As such, flying isn’t feasible.

Things to do when you get to Sorrento

You’ve just been seated for over 5 hours coming from Florence. Now it’s time to stretch your feet and hit the streets. Let’s dive into the best things to do when you get to Sorrento.

Explore the historic center

First things first, you didn’t travel this far to miss the historic center of Sorrento. Wander through the narrow streets lined with charming restaurants and shops selling local crafts, limoncello, and handmade clothing. The Piazza Tasso is a great starting point. Perfect for sipping espressos and people-watching.

Visit the Duomo di Sorrento, a 15th-century cathedral with beautiful frescoes and a serene atmosphere. Nearby, the Villa Comunale Park offers panoramic views of Mount Vesuvius and the Gulf of Naples, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a romantic sunset picnic. The Museo Bottega della Tarsia Lignea is another fun stop. Housed in an 18th-century palazzo with a Pompeian Red façade, this small museum is dedicated to the local art of marquetry, a veneer decorating technique.

Conquer the coast

Hop on a boat tour along the stunning Amalfi Coast. Rugged cliffs, hidden coves, and crystal-clear waters make the ride worth it. You can even take a day trip to the island of Capri, known for its Blue Grotto and upscale boutiques.

And if you're up for some beach time, head to Marina Grande or Marina Piccola, where you can soak up the Mediterranean sun and take a refreshing dip in the water.

Feast on local flavors

A trip to Sorrento wouldn’t be complete without indulging in the local cuisine. Treat your taste buds to a culinary adventure by trying traditional dishes like gnocchi alla sorrentina, fresh seafood pasta, and famous lemon-infused delicacies.

If you can't get your fill of the local food scene, there's plenty of other activities like:

Farm and food tours
Pizza making
Pasta-making classes
Limoncello factory tours

Don’t forget to shop for souvenirs

Take a piece of Sorrento home with you. Sorrento lemons are a local icon, so you'll find everything from lemon products like limoncello to lemon-themed handcrafted ceramics. Then there's local wines and olive oils, or dried pastas so you can relive your Sorrentine dining experiences at home.

When is the best time to visit Sorrento

Planning your trip from Florence to Sorrento is a joy because Sorrento has something to offer year-round. But of course, the best time for you depends on what you're looking for.

Summer in Sorrento

If you're all about sunny beach days and warm walks, then the summer months from June to August are ideal. This is when Sorrento shines with its Mediterranean climate, perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying outdoor activities. However, do keep in mind that this is also peak tourist season, so expect crowds and higher prices.

Spring, fall, and winter in Sorrento

For a quieter experience with still pleasant weather, consider visiting during spring (April to May) or fall (September to October). These shoulder months are generally the best time to visit Sorrento. The weather is still delightful, but you'll find fewer tourists and potentially better deals on accommodations. Winter (November to February) in Sorrento is mild, making it a great off-season choice if you want to avoid crowds and don't mind cooler temperatures and the occasional rainy day.
