Capri Travel Guide

Capri is best in April–June and September–October, when the sea is warming and crowds thinner; July–August is peak, busy and pricey, while winters are soft and calm. A classic day takes a small boat into the Blue Grotto's eerie cobalt, browses Capri Town's boutiques, then rides the chairlift to Monte Solaro for panoramic views over the islands and the bay. Transport around the island relies on buses, cable cars and taxis; with steep steps, comfy shoes help. As the romantic refuge of celebrities and emperors, Capri runs upscale — but the blue bays, cliffs and legends are worth it. Blue glow, sheer cliffs and the volcano's distant silhouette form Capri's most unforgettable picture.
