5 Best Places to Go Shopping in Sorrento

Mercato Rionale is a weekly outdoor market near Santa Lucia Fuorimura, just north of the city centre of Sorrento. Every Tuesday morning, you can find regional specialities like fresh local olives, nuts, spices, lemons, dairy products, baked goods, and more.

If you’re looking to find clothes, accessories, and gifts at a bargain, make sure to get to the market early before the stands are sifted through. Since it’s a short walk from the city centre, it’s best to bring a large reusable bag to make it easy to walk back with all your goods.

Via Fuoro is one of the main roads in central Sorrento, between Corso Italia and Via dell’ Accademia. You’ll find a wide variety of shops, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants along Via Antonino Sersale and Via S. Nicola.

If you’re interested in buying gifts that are unique to Sorrento, stop by the popular Tesori di Sorrento, a colourful market that sells limoncello in all shapes, sizes, and flavours, as well as pottery donned with bright lemons. Other great souvenir shops include Roseta, ABC, Fuoro Store, and Sandali Syrenia Sorrento.

Corso Italia is the main street of Sorrento, hosting many notable landmarks of the city. Standouts include the Park of Villa Fiorentino, the Cathedral of Saints Philip and James, and Palazzo Correale.

As the city's main thoroughfare, it’s no surprise that there are plenty of high-end stores, boutique shops, restaurants, bars, and cafes to explore. Some of the most popular options include Antica Sartoria (luxury clothing boutique), Sweet Sorrento (souvenir store), and Sorrento Art Parfumery (artisanal perfume store). 

Art galleries in Sorrento offer a wide variety of beautiful handcrafted gifts, paintings, sculptures, and jewellery. Since Sorrento is a coastal town, much of what you’ll find is crafted to pay homage to the sea and the beautiful scenery along the Amalfi Coast.

A must-visit is Gallery Celentano, which showcases photographer Raffaele Celentano’s stunning images of the Italian lifestyle. Another standout art gallery is Terrerosse Sorrento, which offers a wide variety of pottery that's handmade from natural materials like terracotta and ceramic.
