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 port 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 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 ports, 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 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.
