  Landing fee on arrival

  1 jan – 31 dec

  Everyone who is not a resident pays a landing contribution on arrival: about €5 a person from April to October and €2.50 the rest of the year. On a scheduled ferry or hydrofoil it is inside the ticket; on a private boat it is not. Bron ↗

• Regel

  No visitor cars on the island

  15 mrt – 5 nov · meestalSluitingen

  Non-resident vehicles are barred from the island from around Easter to early November, which is why everything moves by funicular, open taxi and the Anacapri bus. Bringing a car is not a decision you get to make. Bron ↗

• Feestdag

  Easter and Pasquetta

  4–6 aprPasen & Goede WeekDrukSluitingen

  Easter Sunday and Easter Monday (Pasquetta) are public holidays, and Italians use the long weekend for short breaks and day trips: trains and hotels fill, old towns and sights are busier than the weeks around, and many shops and some restaurants close on Easter Sunday. Bron ↗

• Opening

  Island season opens

  25 mrt – 15 mei · meestalZomerseizoen opent

  Hotels, the Marina Piccola beach clubs and the full ferry timetable restart around Easter. April and early May are the only weeks when everything is open and the paths are still empty. Bron ↗

• Natuur

  Broom and cistus on the paths

  5 apr – 25 mei · meestalWilde bloemen & bloei

  The Sentiero dei Fortini and the walk up Monte Solaro are at their best when the broom and rock rose are out, before the day boats arrive in numbers and while the light is still soft. Bron ↗

• Opening

  Blue Grotto access

  15 apr – 15 okt · meestalSluitingen

  The cave entrance is barely a metre high at low tide, so a boatman can only lie you flat and row you through when the sea is calm enough; rough winter seas suspend the trips for days or weeks at a stretch even though the site itself has no fixed closing date. Bron ↗

  Spring bank-holiday bridges

  25 apr – 2 junNationale feestdagDrukBoek vroeg

  Liberation Day (25 April), Labour Day (1 May) and Republic Day (2 June) are public holidays, and when one falls near a weekend Italians bridge it into a long break, the ponte. Those weekends bring domestic crowds, fuller trains and higher room rates, and some shops close on the day. Bron ↗

  The island's patron is carried through Capri and down to Marina Grande on the 14th, a procession the residents put on for themselves rather than for the ferry crowd. Bron ↗

  Day-tripper hours

  15 mei – 30 sep · meestalCruiseseizoenDruk

  Boats from Naples and Sorrento land thousands of people between ten and four, and the funicular queue in the port is the proof. The island changes character entirely after the last hydrofoil.

  Sea warm enough to swim

  15 jun – 10 okt · meestal

  There is almost no beach, so swimming means a ladder off a rock platform at Marina Piccola or the Faraglioni. The water stays comfortable through September and into October.
