Many travelers have reached out for information about the current situation on Capri and the Amalfi Coast, including tips on what businesses are open or closed and specifics about social distancing measures and other restrictions. Below, we summarize travel and tourism in our area to the best of our knowledge.
Last update: 28 July, 2020
The use of masks in the region of Campania is no longer required outdoors after 22 June, but continues to be required inside public spaces like restaurants and shops. On Capri, masks must now be worn outdoors on the weekends in and around the Piazzetta, where the narrow lanes and small square make it impossible to guarantee adequate social distancing!
At the moment, there are no travel restrictions for Capri. Rapid Covid-19 testing may be given, as well. We suggest booking your ferry tickets in advance. Masks must be worn on board, even if traveling on an outdoor deck.
