Time-Saving Tips

Efficient planning helps you discover more.

Skip-the-Line

Arrive very early or late for the Blue Grotto. For the funicular, tickets can be acquired in advance.

Optimal Times

Blue Grotto: Early morning or late afternoon for fewer crowds. Mid-day for best light. Piazzetta: Less crowded early morning. Monte Solaro: Clear day.

Efficient Travel

Hydrofoils are quicker than ferries. Taxis are faster than buses for direct transfers. Plan your day geographically.
