Overview

Quotes Logo Vesuvius Tour from Naples takes travelers to one of the world's most famous volcanoes! This amazing trip lets people see the special cone shape of Mount Vesuvius, a symbol of Naples. The top of the volcano is 1,277 meters high. The hole at the top, called the crater, is 450 meters wide and 300 meters deep.

Long ago, in 79 A.D., Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Now, people can walk to the top of this active volcano! The tour gives everyone two hours to walk around the crater. From there, they can see the pretty Bay of Naples, from Capo Miseno to Campanella. The tour meets at the parking lot, and the bus takes everyone back to their hotels in Naples around 1:00 PM.

The tour includes a ride in a cool, air-conditioned bus and the ticket to enter the Vesuvius National Park. The tour does not include lunch or a guide to walk you to the top. It's an adventure that mixes nature and history. Quotes Logo

The Journey

1

Mount Vesuvius

Ascend Mount Vesuvius, the iconic volcano that looms over Naples, and stand on the rim of its active crater. This geological giant, reaching 1277 meters, offers unparalleled views of the Bay of Naples, stretching from Capo Miseno to the Sorrentine Peninsula. Feel the palpable sense of history as you explore the landscape forever shaped by the catastrophic eruption of 79 AD, which buried Pompeii and Herculaneum. The two-hour trek from the parking lot to the summit is a journey through volcanic terrain, culminating in a walk around the 450-meter-wide crater, offering a profound connection to the forces that have shaped this region for millennia. The view of the Bay of Naples is worth every step.

Know Before You Go

This tour includes transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle and your entrance ticket to Vesuvius National Park. It does not include food, drinks, or a personal tour guide for the walk to the top. Be sure to meet the driver at the assigned parking lot at the time provided by them for your return trip back to Naples where you will be dropped off at your hotel.

Hot Tip

Wear comfy shoes because you will be walking uphill on gravel. Bring water and snacks, especially on hot days. Check the weather before you go so you can dress right. Also, give yourself lots of time to walk to the top to enjoy the views and take pictures.
