What our customers ask about Capri Tours & Trips

• What are the must-see attractions for first-time visitors to Capri?

  The island's main draws center around natural wonders and historic sites. The Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) is the star attraction where sunlight creates an ethereal blue glow in the cave waters. The Gardens of Augustus offer sweeping views of the Faraglioni rocks jutting from the Mediterranean while the lively Piazzetta serves as Capri town's beating heart. A boat tour around the island reveals hidden caves and secluded swimming spots. Both Marina Grande and Marina Piccola showcase the island's maritime charm. In Anacapri the Villa San Michele provides panoramic views across the Bay of Naples. As a TourRadar traveler notes: "The boat tour around Capri was beautiful and fun. The grottos for swimming were amazing. A boat tour is definitely the way to see the Amalfi coast."

• Where are the best hotels to stay in Capri?

  Capri's accommodation options span from luxurious resorts to boutique properties. The Hotel Bougainville in Capri Town combines modern amenities with classic Mediterranean style offering sea views from many rooms. For a quieter setting the Hotel San Michele in Anacapri features terraces overlooking the coastline. Near the Piazzetta the historic Grand Hotel Quisisana represents old-world Italian glamour with contemporary comforts. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The accommodation was very comfortable and welcoming all with ensuite bathroom and lovely rural views."

• How much money should I budget for a day in Capri?

  Expect higher prices than mainland Italy with guided tours ranging from 295-881 USD per day. Daily costs typically include 100 USD for meals at mid-range restaurants 20-30 USD for local transport and entrance fees like the Blue Grotto at 30 USD. While organized tours cover major attractions additional expenses arise from shopping at designer boutiques around the Piazzetta or dining at upscale restaurants. TourRadar travelers recommend setting aside extra funds for "optional activities and local experiences not included in tour packages."

• What are the best times to visit Capri to avoid peak tourist crowds?

  The sweet spot for visiting falls between April-May or September-October. During these months the weather remains pleasant and the crowds thin out considerably. Properties like the Grand Hotel Vesuvio operate at lower capacity making for a more relaxed stay. The summer high season (June-August) brings intense crowds to main attractions especially the Blue Grotto and Piazzetta. According to a TourRadar traveler "The morning boat tours around the island were much less crowded and offered incredible views of the Faraglioni rocks."

• How do I get to Capri from the mainland?

  Regular ferry and hydrofoil services connect Capri to Naples (45 minutes) and Sorrento (20-30 minutes). Boats depart from Naples' Molo Beverello port and Sorrento's Marina Piccola arriving at Capri's Marina Grande. From there the funicular railway climbs to Capri town. Many hotels including the Grand Hotel Vesuvio can arrange transfers. Most organized tours include round-trip ferry transportation and ground transfers in their packages.

• Is swimming possible around Capri?

  Swimming conditions are excellent from May to October with water temperatures reaching 75°F (24°C) in summer months. Marina Piccola and the waters near the Faraglioni rocks offer clear protected spots for swimming. Boat tours frequently include swimming breaks at secluded locations depending on weather conditions. A TourRadar traveler reports: "We had multiple opportunities to swim in crystal-clear waters during our boat tour around the island with the captain finding perfect spots away from the crowds."
