    This is where you want to be if you love gardens, breezes, sea views, landscapes, a sweet escape, a romantic atmosphere, and of course... taking pictures :) Entry is €1 which is nothing when you discover what's beyond the entrance's stone staircase. It might cross your mind to think 'now what am I in love with more?' This point on the island is spectacular! Credit to Friedrich Alfred Krupp. I'd say it's one of the best photo spots. It would definitely be an ideal one for a special kind of day... Dream come true for a wedding location, huh. It doesn't have to be though, to enjoy the scenery and be in a pleasant moment. (For more information on the history of the garden, you're invited to web research.) My photos are attached for your daydreaming convenience.

    Stunning views from this garden! Prefect to get pictures in and a quick little walk from the center of Capri. A few places were closed when we were there so this was a great way to still see them from afar without being able to go. Definitely worth stopping in!

    Pros: - inexpensive thing to do in Capri. Only 1 Euro per person. - slush stand immediately outside to pick up a limoncello slush after walking through the park. - pretty flowers and signs around the park - great views! Cons: - we wanted to walk Via Krupp to end at the beautiful vista, and thought that the Garden was the best way to access. Turns out Via Krupp has been closed since 2016! We were bummed, considering we were looking for a short hike to do and we've heard the vistas are beautiful.

    After spending just a couple days in Capri I can say with total confidence that it is one of the most spectacular places I've ever been to in my life. The people are charming, the lemoncello is delicious and the water is the bluest of blue. There is no shortage of gorgeous landscapes on the island - including The Gardens of Augustus - via Krupp. This hidden gem is located along the southern part of the island and really is easy to get to... just follow any of the main roadways from the main Piazzetta down to Via Matteotti. The park is €1 to enter and is worth every cent. We spent about two hours just taking in the spectacular via Krupp, Marina Piccola, Faraglioni and the Tyrrhenian Sea. The pedestrian only zig zag ramp (via Krupp) leading down to the marina was closed for the summer (maybe longer?) so we weren't able to walk down which was a real bummer. The views from above were still pretty spectacular, though, whether you're on the first or second level. The first level is lovely with its patches of green grass, flowers, trees; the second level is basically a large patio with benches for sitting and enjoying the sunshine. I can think of no better way to spend an afternoon than inside the Gardens of Augustus.

    Great to grace the background of the must-have photo from the archaeological site in downtown…read morePompei. For me though, unless it was a critical high point, ascending around an active caldera (see: potentially dangerous, partially collapsed, smoldering ash heap), given its history, I'm like, "nah, I'm good." Across the ocean, Yellowstone is still active, massive and to be enjoyed. It is also less intimidating. As an alpinist and classically experienced summiteer, my aversion to hiking Vesuvio is easily explained. After the sad sight of the stone people down below -- the actual active volcano will never be a mandatory visit for me.

    The trek to Vesuvius from Naples involves subway, train, and bus. On the train I learned that the…read morecouple beside me were headed to Pompeii, where I'd already been, and I was headed to Vesuvius, where they'd already been. It was time to trade tips and here's the best tip they gave me: "When you exit the train station in Ercolano, walk to your left. That's where the bus tickets are sold. Immediately after you purchase your bus ticket, walk to the center island opposite the train station exit. Get in line there. That's where the bus boards. Oh, and the bus tickets are cash only, so be prepared". Had I not talked to these folks I'd not have known exactly where to go when I got out of the train station. As it turns out, my quick b-line to the left meant that I purchased the last two tickets available on the next bus up and the following bus wasn't leaving until more than one hour later. So follow these directions. You're welcome. The lore around Mt. Vesuvius figures big in these parts so if you're in the area and able, it's worth a visit regardless of how you feel about hiking somewhere only to peer down into a (not very interesting) crater. The route up, even with the bus taking you up most of the way, isn't difficult but it's more difficult than I assumed it would be. and takes about 40 minutes each way. A hiking stick will be helpful, especially on the way down. Do check your bus number and know the time of its departure before you get off for the hike. You'll have a sticker denoting that you've paid for your bus ride down, but it's specific to the bus you rode up in and it'd be a huge bummer for it to leave without you. On the hike up I encountered a massive insect swarm and thought "well this is disgusting" but it had disseminated by the time I headed back down. You'll hike through some souvenir/drink/snack spots and there's another at the very top. Other than that, there's nothing to do here except peer into the crater that caused the demise of Pompeii then head back down again. I'd say this is a must see only because of the significance of Vesuvius in Southern Italy's history. One and done for me but now you know how best to navigate the journey as well.
