Step by Step
The visit to Mount Vesuvius is an unforgettable experience and the perfect way to complete your trip to Pompeii. This excursion takes you by bus from the meeting point in town to the base of the volcano, located more than 1,000 metres above sea level.
From there you will begin the ascent on foot to the crater of Vesuvius, a place where you can still feel the power of nature. As you climb, the views open up: the Gulf of Naples, the coast of Sorrento, the islands of Capri and Ischia appear at your feet.
At the top, you will walk around the crater to admire its sheer walls and solidified lava, witnesses of the eruption that in 79 AD buried Pompeii and Herculaneum. The experience is completed by the explanations of an official volcanological guide from the National Park Authority, who will share scientific data and historical anecdotes.
After the visit, your driver will be waiting for you at the meeting point to take you back to Pompeii, concluding an excursion of about 3 hours in total that combines history, nature and adventure.
