    A great way to get to Capri town
    There is a bit of queue and buying tickets is a bit confusing. The ticket office is away from the tram. Of course there is a mad rush to get onto the tram, but the trip is only 5 mins. A good way to avoid the steep walk.

    Ticket office hidden away
    It is not easy to find the ticket office for the funicular ! When you get off the boat, walk to the right, where you will see the arched entrance to the funicular itself. Carry on past here, where you see a white rounded edge bar called "Bar Grotto", the ticket office is roughly opposite here, tucked away slightly. There are three queues, two for funicular and one for buses only - make sure you get the right queue. There are so many people around it makes it difficult to see signs etc.. Once you get ypur ticket head across to thefunicular entrance. The queue moves relatively quickly and you put your ticket into a turnstile. The ride itself has some good views and at the top there are toilets just outside of where you come out.

    The funicular is very easy to use.
    The funicular is very easy to use, but you MUST buy your ticket FIRST. The ticket office is to the right of the port exit (if you arrive by ferry). I saw many people get angry because they waited in line without buying their tickets first. Don't be those tourists! On the way down, the ticket office and ferry line are the same building.

    Amazing views
    Great screen views. I recommend visiting early morning. We were there by 9:30. From the Ferry port first purchase your lift tickets. I believe 2.40 euros one way. Get round trip. After cable, next go to bus station and purchase tickets (round trip). Once at the top hop on (14 euros) and enjoy. You can relax and have a snack and take pictures at the very top.

    Great way to get up to Capri but carnage on a busy day!
    A great way to get to Capri and the main square. BUT you need to purchase your tickets in the ticket booth across the road. We had read this previously so knew to do this but it really wasn’t all that clear and you could well be caught up in the queue for the funicular without having a ticket! Coming back down was chaos. Leave yourself enough time if you need to get back for a boat!

At only €2 one way per person this is a very efficient way to get up to the town. Ticket desk on the right hand side of the port and the Funicular is right in the middle (see photo). Stops in the Centre of the town. Recommended .

The funicular is positioned near to the shops and cafés/bars that overlook the port.
Visitors need to go o the ticket booth which is positioned to the right hand side as you exit the marina (it is well signed)
The tickets are €2 each way. The funicular runs constantly and so you’re never waiting long for the next one to arrive. There are a number of seating / standing compartments, and some with more space and more suitable for prams etc.
The ride only takes just over 5 minutes and brings you out in the middle of Capri town. The views across the bay are breathtaking.

Inexpensive and reasonably quick way to get from the port to the main piazza in Capri (or vice-versa). Tickets sold right by the entrance, but can be crowded at times. Even when crowded, there are some unique views and it is a relatively smooth ride. A word of caution, there does not seem to be air-conditioning, so it may be a warm ride up and down if the windows aren't open to catch the sea breeze.

The Capri Funicular is the handy way to get to the (almost) highest point on the island but it gets REALLY busy. At the front of the entrance it's wide enough for lots of people to gather & everyone seems to crowd together, but there are just a couple of turnstiles to get through to the actual funicular & this makes the whole thing really uncomfortable & almost dangerous. It felt like there could even be a crush, so we left & walked to the top, which is not too difficult, you just have to push on when you think there is no end in sight, but it's worth it! So we had some refreshments when we got to the top a took a bit of time to look around & decided to descent on the funicular, which was a totally different experience. There were just a few people there at the same time & everything was fine, lots of space to see & take photos. So if you can time it properly it works well.

Trip up was pleasant and efficient. Trip down was a monumental waste of time. The q was not particularly long, people wise, but the organisation was appalling/non existent. Organisers of trips were taking their groups through a "back door" leaving everyone else to wait. Local officials watched on and relaxed in the sun. I'll walk down next time rather than subject my self to such a lack of respect from local officials and tour organisers.

We came into the Marina Grande and instead of wasting time walking up all of the steps to the Main area we used the funicular.

We did need face masks (May 2022) but the trip was quick and easy and we had some good views of the island. At the end of our time we walked back down for a different view / experience.
