Explore Capri

OVERVIEW

Spend hours independently exploring Capri with no schedule to follow other than your own. To reach the tiny but legendary island, you will ride a fast ferry across the beautiful Bay of Naples. Upon arriving, the guide will suggest attractions to visit and present you with a pre-purchased ticket for the funicular cable car to go to the boarding queue for the cable itself only. This allows you to bypass the ticket office line and head straight to the boarding area queue to of the funicular to the hilltop square Umberto I, more commonly referred to as La Piazzetta. An abundance of one-of-a-kind boutiques and restaurants line the surrounding cobblestone streets, especially along the elegant Via Camerelle. If you are dining, seafood tops most every menu, especially grilled fish. The 17th-century Santa Stefano Church is worth a look as some of its marble flooring was once part of a villa that emperor Tiberius build on the island. You could also meander through the Augustus Gardens, named after Caesar Augustus, who visited in 29 B.C.
