There is nothing more impressive in Capri than the magnificent Faraglioni, which are a real attraction.

Arriving by boat in front of the Faraglioni remains the best and most exciting way to admire them. Even more exciting is to pass under the natural arch of the central Faraglione.

2. Faraglioni Capri from the Belvedere Tragara
The Amalfi Coast is a special place, but the island of Capri is even more special. The Island of Capri has several attractions. The Faraglioni of Capri are certainly one of the island’s main attractions. How to see them without boating? No problem! There are several panoramic points from which to see the Faraglioni.

Right on the Faraglioni’s side is a beautiful panoramic terrace: the Belvedere Tragara. From Belvedere Tragara you can admire the sea and the fantastic and very famous Faraglioni of Capri, even if in my opinion the angle is not the best. Either way, it is absolutely a must-see in Capri.
How to get to Belvedere Tragara?
The Belvedere Tragara is only about fifteen minutes walk from the Piazzetta of Capri and to get here you walk through the streets of the center where there are the shops of the big names in haute couture.
From the Piazzetta di Capri, you have to head towards the main street, that is Via Vittoria Emanuele, and follow it until you reach the square you see in the following photo.
Once you get to this square, you have to turn left. As you can see, on the wall, there are tiles indicating what can be reached by following that particular direction. In fact, if we go into the small street on the right, we arrive at the Gardens of Augustus. If we go to the left and follow the signs instead, we can reach the Belvedere Tragara.
Turning left, you will pass along the famous street, Via Camerelle, where the shops of the big names in high fashion are located.
You will find the indication for the Belvedere Tragara and the Faraglioni Capri at the end of the street. Pay attention because otherwise, you are on a street that only leads to houses, and from there, you cannot reach the Belvedere Tragara. In any case, to get the Belvedere Tragara, you have to turn left into Via Tragara.
At this point, just follow the road to see the beautiful show of the Faraglioni!

3. Faraglioni Capri from Via del Pizzolungo
Belvedere Tragara is also the starting point of a spectacular walk that leads to other panoramic points. In the Piazzale del Belvedere Tragara you will find the sign, containing the map of the area, which you can see in the following image.
From this sign, we can go down the stairs or follow the descent that is to the right of the Belvedere Tragara and follow Via del Pizzolungo.
To do this route, we advise you to wear comfortable shoes because some points are well paved, but others are more like a path! In the following video, you can see part of this path.
