The mesmerizing Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto) is a sea cave renowned for its ethereal blue light, created by sunlight refracting through an underwater cavity.1 Equally iconic are the towering Faraglioni rocks, three massive limestone stacks jutting out of the sea, which have become symbols of Capri.23

Both natural wonders can be admired on boat tours circumnavigating the island, offering unparalleled vantage points.4 The Faraglioni are also visible from various scenic spots like the Augustus Gardens and the Pizzolungo Coastal Trail.2

The Giardini di Augusto (Gardens of Augustus) offer breathtaking vistas of the Faraglioni rocks and the winding Via Krupp.12 These landscaped gardens, perched on a cliff, are a tranquil oasis with lush greenery and scenic viewpoints.

Villa Jovis, the ancient Roman villa once home to Emperor Tiberius, provides a glimpse into Capri's historical significance.23 Its ruins, set against panoramic vistas, transport visitors back in time. The Certosa di San Giacomo, a 14th-century Carthusian monastery near the gardens, houses the Museo Diefenbach, showcasing works by German painter Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach.1

The lively Piazza Umberto I, known as the Piazzetta, is the heart of Capri town, bustling with tourists and locals alike.12 It's a prime spot for people-watching, shopping, and dining at the cafés facing the square.3 From here, the funicular transports visitors to the Marina Grande port below.

Offering panoramic vistas of Capri and the surrounding sea is Monte Solaro, the island's highest point.14 Visitors can reach the summit by chairlift from Anacapri, the other main town on the island.2

Villa San Michele, located in Anacapri, was built by Swedish physician Axel Munthe and now serves as a museum with beautiful gardens and sweeping island views.1 The 14th-century Certosa di San Giacomo, a former Carthusian monastery near the Gardens of Augustus, houses the Museo Diefenbach, showcasing works by German painter Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach.12
