Best things to do in Capri

Capri's Absolute Essentials

Capri's landscape is defined by dramatic limestone cliffs and significant Roman history. This collection features the Blue Grotto, a sea cave illuminated by refracted sunlight, and Mount Solaro, the island's highest point at 589 meters. Historical landmarks include the ruins of Emperor Tiberius's Villa Jovis and the 19th-century Villa San Michele. The island’s unique infrastructure is represented by the 921 Phoenician Steps and the engineered hairpins of Via Krupp, while the central Piazza Umberto I serves as the primary social hub overlooking the iconic Faraglioni rock formations.
