When is the Best Time to Visit

Sorrento is popular for its golden beaches, towering mountains, and vast valleys that outline an idyllic coast. This region has an attractive climate that guarantees sunshine and warmth throughout the year.

The best part of visiting Sorrento is that its average temperature doesn’t fall below 7- 8°C. Thanks to its Mediterranean climate, exploring the region becomes even more fun. The city gets six to seven hours of sunlight every day.

The middle of summer makes the best time to pay a visit to Sorrento. It is because the temperature is high and there is no chance of rain. The average temperature goes up to 32°C (90 °F), which is ideal for relaxing and bathing on the beach. However, if you want a quieter atmosphere and milder weather, visit Sorrento in spring or autumn. The weather is drier in these seasons, and the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing.
