Sorrento's safe, but don't get comfy. Campania's got a bad rep for crime; Sorrento's issue is more about pickpockets and thieves eyeing tourists. Watch your stuff, especially in crowds. Driving's a nightmare. Opt for buses or trains. Drivers ignore zebra crossings, so look alive. Taxis? Sure, if they're legit and the meter starts at zero. The risk meter ticks at medium across the board — transport, theft, scams, you name it. Still, tourists mostly dodge trouble with a bit of street smarts.

Walkability:

Sorrento is easy to walk around, especially downtown. No cars allowed in some spots. It's small and straightforward. Walkability and a lively vibe all year make it a go-to for pedestrians.

Safety Precautions:

Violent crime? Rare in Sorrento. But keep an eye out for pickpockets and theft, especially when tourists flood in. Lock up your valuables, watch yourself in crowds. Sure, streets are bright and cops are around at night. Still, smart move? Stick to the busy spots. Dodge the dark, lonely streets.
