The ride up the mountain on the chair lift was very relaxing and enjoyable. Once at the top, the views were just stellar- you could see Capri's famous two rocks in the ocean, as well as views of Sorrento. There is a little snack bar at the top where you can just relax and enjoy the view. Not really a... More

Chair lift will take to the top of the island, and if you are not scared of the hights(unlike me) you will enjoy it. I only went because I had company. It's nice on a very sunny day.

If, like us, you're not used to chairlifts, it's well worth the slightly scary feeling - the views from the top of Mount Solaro are wonderful

The Mount Solaro chairlift is a single person lift with a small safety bar and no foot rest. If you are a skier, this lift is no big deal and it isn't very high off the ground. The view however is great. It is a very pleasant ride-- EUR 10 both directions. At the top, the view down to Capri... More

We were staying in Sorrento and decided to visit Capri - so caught the ferry, etc. On arrival on Capri we did as suggested (by a couple we met) and avoided the obvious funicular up to Capri town but instead, walked around the corner, bought bus tickets and waited for the little orange bus. Beware, part of the fun is... More

Went to the to the Villa at the top of Mount Solaro. Went up via the cable chair lift which was relaxing and cool. The view from the top are amazing and beautiful. It is very quiet at the top as well and there is a cafe to grab a drink and relax with a gelato in one of the... More

On a day trip to Capri I decided to take the chairlift from AnaCapri up to Monte Solaro. Great views from the chair which is like a ski lift kinda set up with just a small, moveable, bar holding you in....maybe not for the faint hearted or those afraid of heights :-) Very tranquil while travelling up and down the...

Anacapri is a pretty little tourist town at the top of Capri Island and is not nearly as crowded as Capri city. Took the chairlift to the top of Mount Solaro which was very relaxing. Unfortunately, the clouds rolled in after we got to the top so we missed out on the views. Still, my friends and I enjoyed an... More

This attraction is best first thing in the morning for two reasons, you beat the bus tours and the air is clearer for the view. If you are traveling from Capri Town it is a must to catch an early bus to Anacapri, they are small and the queue soon grows. Once at Anacapri go straight to the chair lift,... More
