Create an itinerary including Piazza Umberto I
The most famous square on the island of Capri, Piazza Umberto I has been the meeting point and center of town since Roman times. The focal point remains the 18th-century church tower, whose image often stands as a symbol for the island. Host to fish and produce markets in the early 1900s, the square is now filled with a wide array of cafes and restaurants. Settle at an outdoor table to watch the people come and go, or if you stay late enough, catch the sun setting over the sea. From here you can take the funicular back down to the marina.  To visit Piazza Umberto I and get the most from your holiday in Capri, create itinerary details personal to you using our Capri tour planning app.

  • The piazza is very crowded and not that interesting, IMHO. Spending more time in Anacapri would be better.

  • Beautiful view, most shops are high end e.g. versace. 95% shops were closed as I visited in Feb and is off peak. Stunning scenery and nice walk around island especially as it was quiet
  • We arrived with the cable cart to the centrum of Capri. There are amazing views all over the place. The city itself is a bit expensive, but that's to be expected at such a luxurious city.
