Capri Campania, Italy Travel Guide
The funicular: 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 comprehensive and well-connected. Small, orange buses navigate the narrow, winding roads between the main towns and attractions. They offer a reliable 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), notably in the summer months. Walk short distances instead of waiting for coaches to avoid queues.
Capri's terrain has challenges for mobility issues. Funicular holds some wheelchairs. Buses are generally not fully accessible. Many areas have stairs or uneven surfaces.
White or yellow, "TAXI" sign. Hail at stands (Capri Town, Anacapri, Marina Grande) or over the phone.
More expensive than public transport; €15-€25 for short distances. Verify the price before journey.
Cash often preferred by drivers, however some accept cards. Have Euros available.

Car rental is not recommended for tourists with Capri. Personal vehicles for non-residents are generally forbidden on the island during the high season (typically from Easter until early November). This indicates you cannot bring a rental car from the mainland onto Capri, nor can you rent one on the island during these months. Visitors must leave their vehicles on the mainland at secure parking services at the Naples and Sorrento ferry docks.
Capri Town (Piazzetta, Via Camerelle) and Anacapri center are largely pedestrianized. Scenic paths like Via Tragara and Pizzolungo have gorgeous views.
Many self-guided routes are available; maps from tourist offices. Local tour leaders present historical, cultural, or naturalistic walks.
