Here's a quick tour of Capri’s must-see attractions.
Capri, the Capital
If you arrive on the island by boat, the first town you'll see is Capri. Located close to the island's port, Marina Grande, the capital can easily be reached by funicular. Popular among the jet set, this chic town invites you to discover its restaurants, luxury boutiques, whitewashed houses, and charming narrow streets.
Stroll around the famous Piazza Umberto I, the heart of the town that leads to all the main streets of Capri.
The Village of Anacapri
If you were to choose only one stop during your stay on Capri island, it should undoubtedly be the village of Anacapri. This charming, typical town, located on the island's heights, will captivate you with its churches, villas, and gardens. Visit the uniquely styled Villa San Michele, once home to the famous Swedish writer Axel Munthe. During your visit, don’t miss the magnificent gardens of San Michele, offering breathtaking views of the town of Capri, the Bay of Naples, the Sorrento Peninsula, and Mount Vesuvius.
The Gardens of Augustus and Via Krupp
Among Capri's must-see treasures, the Gardens of Augustus stand out for their elegance and idyllic location. Nestled atop a cliff overlooking the sea, these lush gardens offer a tranquil stroll amid vibrant flowers and exotic plants. Wander along fragrant paths, each step revealing stunning panoramic views of the famous Faraglioni, the majestic rock formations emblematic of the island.
Don't miss Via Krupp, situated near the gardens—a masterpiece of engineering winding along the cliffside from the gardens down to the sea. Designed in the early 20th century by German industrialist Friedrich Alfred Krupp, this winding road provides breathtaking scenery around every curve.
