Piazza Tasso is Sorrento's ""downtown". On the main drag, find gelato, High-end shops, parfumeries, lingerie shops, liscensed sports jerseys, ristorante molto, an occasional bride, and abundant tour groups trooping behind the ubiquitous flag carried by each guide or blocking entrance doors to a store you want to visit. Walk past the touristy Piazza square downthe main street-- 3-4 side street... More 

Great people watching spot with good restaurants and bars around it. Fauna Bar is a prime spot with fun wait staff and outstanding service.

Busy square lovely to see and experience italian life and traffic pedestrianised in the evening meant it was lovely !

A must if you're visiting Sorrento, especially in the evening--everyone gets out & about.

Centre of the town and plenty of interesting shops, church and Il Vallone de Mulini ruins to catch your eye. Beware crossing the street as drivers, especially scooters have no road rules. Cafes and restaurants to sit and watch the passers by, good central point with plenty to see.

Ferries from Sorrento depart from Marina Piccola Porto; this is the only place from which Sorrento ferries depart (they do not depart from Marina Grande). From the very charming and vital community town square "Piazza Tasso" (at the intersection of Corso Italia and Via de Malo has many dining options and shopping venues. For us, it was our departure point... More 

Lots and lots of activity. Little train for sightseeing. Tour groups all over the place. There is a very large store selling (very, very expensive) inlaid wood products which is worth looking at. We listened to an interesting presentation there on how the wood products are made.
