The Sorrento tourist office is at Via L. de Maio 35, inside the Circolo dei Forestieri club, just down from Piazza S. Antonio (tel. +39-081-807-4033, Sorrentotourism.com).
Also handy—particulalrly for events—is the city's civic site, Comune.sorrento.na.it.
Also useful: If you are visiting the nearby Amalfi Coast, check out the that area's provincial tourism website: Turismoinsalerno.it and the private site Amalficoast.com.

Planning your time: Sorrento has maybe 2-3 hours of mediocre sightseeing. To be brutally honest it is probably the least interesting town in this area. It is only famous for its location.
Sorrento makes an ideal base for exploring Campania thanks to its location at the nexus of regional public transit—pretty much the only place from which you can get anywhere without having to change mode of transportation: Trains direct to Pompeii and Naples; ferries to Capri; buses or ferries down the Amalfi Coast.
If you prefer the home-base style of travel, Sorrento is the perfect base. Figure on three days/two nights here (hit Pompeii on the train ride down from Naples—you can store your luggage temporarily at the Pompei train station—then spend one day each visiting Capri and the Amalfi Coast).
If, however, you prefer to travel from town to town, just treat Sorrento as a way-station to switch from train to bus or ferry; skip Sorrento entirely and sleep in a more interesting locale on the Amalfi Coast or Capri.
