When to visit

The best time to visit Capri is during the spring months of April and May or the fall months of September and October when the weather is mild and the crowds are smaller. Summer is peak tourist season with hot temperatures and crowded streets, while winter can be rainy and many attractions may be closed.

Getting around

Getting around Capri is easy with public buses, taxis, and the funicular railway that connects the Marina Grande port to the town of Capri. Visitors can also rent scooters or boats to explore the island at their own pace. Walking is a popular way to get around the narrow streets and alleys of the towns.

Traveller tips

Don't forget to pack comfortable walking shoes as the island has many steep and narrow paths. Be sure to try the local specialty, limoncello, a lemon liqueur made from the island's famous lemons. It's recommended to book accommodations and tours in advance, especially during the peak summer season. Keep in mind that many restaurants and shops may close for a siesta in the afternoon. Lastly, be respectful of the local customs and traditions, such as dressing modestly when visiting churches.
