Capri funicular, Funicular railway in Marina Grande, Italy
The Capri funicular connects Marina Grande harbor to Capri town center through a 4-minute journey over steep limestone cliffs and lemon groves.
Inaugurated in 1907, this cable railway system has transported passengers between the port and Capri town for more than 115 years without interruption.
The funicular forms an integral part of daily life for residents and serves as the primary transportation method for visitors exploring the island.
Tickets cost 2.40 euros per ride, and trains depart every 15 minutes from early morning until 10 PM, with substitute buses operating afterward.
During annual maintenance from January to Easter, the entire system undergoes thorough inspections while replacement bus services maintain island connectivity.
