Welcome to Capri
Capri is beautiful – seriously beautiful! There’s barely a grubby building or untended garden to blemish the splendor. Steep cliffs rise majestically from an impossibly blue sea; elegant villas drip with wisteria and bougainvillea; even the trees seem to be carefully manicured.
Long a preserve of celebrities and the super-rich, this small, precipitous island has a tangible deluxe feel. Your credit card can get a lot of exercise in its expensive restaurants and museum-quality jeweler shops – a cappuccino alone can cost €7.
But, regardless of this, Capri is worth visiting, whatever your budget. Glide silently up craggy Monte Solaro on a chairlift. Relive erstwhile poetic glories in Villa Lysis. Find a quiet space in the sinuous lanes of Anacapri. In the process, you’ll enjoy some sublime moments.

Transportation
If you want to get around the small island of Capri independently, public transport consists of a handful of bus routes and a funicular railway that climbs 150m from the gateway to Capri where all the ferries arrive at Marina Grande to the main Capri Town.
Funicular (cable car), public buses, taxis, scooter, Mount Solaro chairlift and ferries are main public transportation on this island. Of course, hiking is also popular among the visitors. Many parts of the island of Capri are easily reached on foot. When the island gets crowded, it's often more enjoyable to take a leisurely walk to your destination than to wait in the long line at the bus stop under the hot sun.
The rugged scenery of Capri is much of the attraction for visitors to the island and as a result, roads are narrow. To enable any transport or buses to get around the island, buses are small, seating only 10 people, plus as many again standing. The main road connecting Marina Grande at sea level to the main town Capri Town (150m) and onto Anacapri (300m) is only 5km, so no journey is too long.
There is a chairlift from Anacapri to the highest point of the island of Capri, Monte Solaro at 300m.
The most popular sea excursion from Marina Grande to the Blue Grotto has a private scheduled service where you can buy tickets on the day. Open top taxi cabs are also available.
Main connections in Capri:
- From Marina Grande to the Piazzetta – funicular (cable car)
- From Marina Grande to Anacapri – bus or funicular (to Capri town) + bus
- From Capri to Anacapri – bus
- To the Blue Grotto – boat from Marina Grande or bus from Anacapri
