Great view. You can see the entire gulf. The volcano is huge. However, visitors should be informed about the schedule. When you get off the bus, you’re told you have a little over two hours. But there’s no indication of how far you have to walk or how long that takes at a moderate pace. You walk up as fast as you can, spend 10 minutes at the top, and head back down so you don’t miss the bus. Because you definitely don’t want that. Once you’re back down, you realize you could have stayed up there 20 minutes longer. So, it’s just under 300 meters of elevation gain; at a moderate pace, it takes about 45 minutes to climb up. Going down is faster—about 35 minutes, without dawdling. You can then figure out how long you can stay up there. But—regardless—it’s a great experience. Definitely worth doing.

A very well-organized outing. From the moment we were picked up until we returned. After about a 40-minute drive, we arrived at the spot where we had to show our tickets (copies provided by the organization beforehand). Then, it took about an hour and a half to climb to the top of Vesuvius. That was plenty of time. Accessible to everyone... as long as you take your time if needed.

Despite a very enjoyable hike up Mount Vesuvius, we were a bit taken aback by the logistics. The booking confirmation states that you need to go to a meeting point, but they don’t actually pick you up. You have to go directly to the “InStatzione” ticket counter to pick up your tickets and join the group (information that is provided to visitors using a different booking platform).

Everything went very smoothly; the staff on site were friendly and helpful during check-in. Unfortunately, we couldn’t use the audio guide because there was no signal at Vesuvius. The views were spectacular, though we didn’t have enough time at the top to walk all the way around the crater rim. The bus drivers drive recklessly but safely. A great experience.

Great experience, even though we were asked to arrive early and ended up leaving late! The driver’s driving was very reckless on the way down. But the organization was straightforward.

Hop aboard a comfy minivan from Pompeii and explore the most famous active volcano in the world.

Enter Mount Vesuvius, and then get dropped off at an altitude of 1000m to begin your ascent.

Hike up to the top of the crater to admire the Gulf of Naples and the Campania hinterland, upgrade to watch it painted in colors of sunset.

Gaze right at the Grand Cone with a volcanological guide by your side! Choose this option if you want to learn more about volcanic impact.

Note: This booking includes a €11.68 entrance ticket to Mount Vesuvius National Park + booking fees.
