Everything you need to know to plan your visit
From May to June or from September to October. During spring and early autumn the weather is warm and perfect for walking, with a much more moderate tourist influx than in the peak months of July and August.
During the central hours of the day in July and August, the Piazzetta and the entrances to the Blue Grotto can experience tourist overcrowding and considerable queues for the funicular and ferries.
Excellent Wi-Fi coverage in hotels, main squares, cafes and restaurants in Capri and Anacapri.
Local minibuses and taxis travel on very narrow roads with sharp curves; Walk carefully in sections without a separate pedestrian sidewalk.
Due to the numerous steps, steep slopes and cobblestone streets, it is highly recommended to travel with backpacks or suitcases of manageable size or hire the local porter service for hotels.
The most famous restaurants with views of the Faraglioni or in the Marina Piccola area require prior reservation weeks in advance in high season.
Despite international luxury tourism, Capri maintains a strong traditional island character; An elegant and respectful attire (*smart casual*) is appreciated at sunset in the center.
