Capri is a tourist destination for both Italians and foreigners. In the 1950s, Capri became a popular destination for the international jet set. The central piazzetta of Capri, though preserving its modest village architecture, is lined with luxury boutiques, expensive restaurants, and paparazzi chasing celebrities.
During summers, the island is heavily touristed, often by day trippers from Naples and Sorrento. To savour the wonderful light and atmosphere of the island it is best to be out and about early in the morning and late in the day and out of the high season.
