Capri Town — Piazzetta, Gardens of Augustus, and Faraglioni Views
Capri, Italy
About This Activity
Take the funicular (€2) from Marina Grande up to Capri Town and head straight to the Piazzetta — Italy's most glamorous small square, ringed by designer boutiques and watched over by the clock tower. Walk ten minutes to the Gardens of Augustus (€1 entry), terraced cliff-top gardens designed by Friedrich Alfred Krupp that frame the iconic Faraglioni rock stacks in every direction. From here, follow Via Krupp (when open) zigzagging down to the sea. The stroll through the medieval lanes of Sant'Anna quarter is free and leads to excellent ceramics shops.
Seasonal note: High season (July-August) is extremely crowded; May and September are ideal
