The main connections include:

-Port of Marina Grande to Capri: Funicular

-Capri to Anacapri: Bus

-Center of Capri and Anacapri: On foot

In the center of Capri you can only get around on foot and often a scenic walk is the only way to get between different spots in town.

Walking to different areas outside of Capri Town is an option as well and will allow you to skip the long lines of the bus and funicular. Walking from Marina Grande to Capri, Capri to Marina Picola or Anacapri are all options. And any of these walks is bound to be scenic. Walking times are as follows:

-Capri - Marina Grande: 15 minutes or less. The road begins at the Piazzetta behind the clock tower, then follow the signage for the port.

-Marina Grande - Capri: 30 minutes - Take the road that climbs opposite the `banchinella`, where ships and boats dock (pier 21). The road is a steep uphill climb with a number of steps, so best avoided if you have luggage!

-Capri - Marina Piccola: it`s not worth the effort to take the bus! Just walk there by taking the Via Mulo stairs down to the port, which begin at Due Golfi.

-Anacapri - Marina Grande: 20 minutes along the spectacular Scala Fenicia stairway, which begins at the gardens of Axel Munthe's Villa. There are around 1,000 steps that are quite high, so you need to be in good shape!

-Capri - Anacapri: 1 hour - Note: all uphill!

-Anacapri - Capri: Half an hour - Keep a close watch for the staircases that are a shortcut!

To get to the center of Capri from Marina Grande, the fastest method is the funicular, which climbs uphill through lemon groves and drops you directly in the Piazzetta.

The Funicular departs Marina Grande every 15 minutes (more often at peak times) and take s 15 minutes to get to the center of Capri. Tickets are priced around €2. Hand luggage may be taken on board for free, but there is a surcharge of about €2 for larger bags.

The Marina Grande ticket office is not located at the entrance to the funicular, but at the end of the arrival pier to the right (facing land), near the high speed ferry ticket offices. The funicular closes from January through March for maintenance. During these months, you`ll need to take the substitute bus route.

Don`t picture large city buses: public buses on Capri are minibuses which carry about 10 passengers seated, as large buses wouldn`t be able to navigate the narrow island lanes. In the summer, they are almost always crowded and there are often long lines at the bus stops, though the routes run more frequently. A single price ticket cost around €2.50 (if purchased on board). Hand luggage may be taken on board for free, but there is an additional cost of about €2 for large bags.

Usually, bus routes run every 15 to 20 minutes, though more often in high season.

The bus terminal in Capri is located in Piazza Martiri d`Ungheria (along Via Roma near the Piazzetta). The bus terminal in Anacapri is located in Piazza della Pace (also known as `Piazza Cimitaro`). If you are coming from Capri and you need to change buses for the Blue Grotto or the Lighthouse, don`t get off when the driver announces `Anacapri`: that is Piazza Vittoria, wait for the next stop.

Pro Tip: If you are taking the bus from Anacapri towards Capri and there is a long line at the Piazza Vittoria bus stop, walk up Viale De Tommaso to board the bus at one of the preceding stops. This way, you`ll be sure to board rather than risk having to wait for the next bus due to overcrowding.

Taxis are available at the port and in the town centers, but can also be hailed along the road or by telephone. Taxi drivers on Capri are usually friendly and courteous, and are often excellent guides for visitors who have little time and want to see the sights on the island of Capri in as little time as possible.

Taxis carry 7 passengers and are often open-top, for a great island experience. Fares are metered, though there are fixed fares for common routes. For a ride around the entire island, you can bargain with the driver to come up with a rate depending upon the season, the length of ride, route, and number of passengers.

Scooters can be rented to explore the island in Marina Grande, Capri and Anacapri. Rental times vary from a few hours to an entire day or even a number of days, in which case you can bargain down the price.

A chairlift ride from Piazza Vittoria in Anacapri to the top of Mount Solaro at 1,932-ft. above sea level is a beautiful ride. At the top, you can take in the views over the historic center of Capri, the Faraglioni sea stacks, and Mount Tiberius all the way to Punta Campanella and the Sorrento Peninsula.

The ride lasts 12 minutes and all the seats are for a single passenger. Children can be carried on an adult`s lap, but keep in mind that the seats are suspended in mid-air with just a safety bar, so it would be easy to slide out. We suggest carrying infants in a front pack carrier and avoid the ride with toddlers who have a hard time keeping still. There is staff at the top and bottom to help you climb on and off. Prices are around €11 roundtrip, €8 one way. Children 7 and under are free. Chairlift hours are as follows:

-From March to October: 9:30 am - 5:00 pm

-From November to February: 10:30 am - 3:30 pm

-From March to April: 9:30 am - 4 pm

Tip: We suggest purchasing a one way ticket up to the top and then walking down, passing through the valley of Cetrella where the historic residence of the writer Compton Mackenzie and the hermitage of Santa Maria a Cetrella overlooking the sea.

To visit Capri by sea, you can rent canoes, rubber dinghies, or traditional wooden gozzo fishing boats with sun awnings and coolers, or speedboats with or without a captain. By boat, you can stop at one of the waterfront restaurants along the coast, bring along what you need for a picnic onboard, or ask your captain to arrange for local foods.

A more economic alternative to renting a boat privately is booking an organized group tour. The standard tour of the island lasts about two hours, including a visit to the Blue Grotto on board a small rowboat. The time it takes to visit the Blue Grotto depends on how much of a crowd there is on the rowboats, which can only enter a few at a time.
