24 Hours in Capri, Italy: Ferry from Naples, Capri Town + Marina Grande
Ferry from Naples, Marina Grande, the funicular, Piazza Umberto, and one of the most beautiful day trips you can do in southern Italy.
Capri does not feel real. It feels like somebody built a luxury dream sequence in the middle of the sea and then let tourists loose on it. This is the fast version: how to get there, how to get around, where to eat, and what’s actually worth your time if you’ve only got one day.

Quick Tips
Capri is insanely popular in summer, so expect crowds.
If you’re only there for the day, stash your bag near Marina Grande and move lighter.
The funicular is the easiest way up to Capri Town, but walking gives you a much better feel for the island.
If you have an early Naples flight, sleeping near the airport is way less stressful than gambling on a 4:30 a.m. taxi plan.
