Capri Campania, Italy Travel Guide
The cliff railway: This short railway connects Marina Grande (Capri's port) directly to Capri Town (the Piazzetta). It's the quickest and most popular way to ascend from the ferry terminal to the island's main hub. It operates frequently throughout the day.
Buses: The island's bus system is extensive and well-connected. Small, orange buses navigate the narrow, winding roads between the primary towns and attractions. They present a dependable and economical way to get around.
Single bus/funicular ride costs around €2.20 - €2.90. Daily ticket ("biglietto giornaliero") around €7.20. Tickets available at ferry terminals, funicular/bus stations, and "tabacchi."
Be prepared for large groups of people on popular routes (Capri-Anacapri bus, funicular), especially in summer. Walk short distances instead of waiting for buses going to avoid queues.
