This roughly 3-hour trip takes you from Pompeii up Mount Vesuvius by shared bus and on to the crater. Round-trip transportation and the crater entry ticket are included, so you can go without any extra arrangements. After getting off the bus, walk about 300 m without a guide up to the Gran Cono, the heart of the volcano, and spend 1.5 hours freely enjoying the crater, the volcanic landscape and views over the Bay of Naples.
The tour starts from the operator's ticket office at Pompei Scavi station. The bus climbs for about 40 minutes to around 1,000 m above sea level on Mount Vesuvius, and along the way you can see the coastline stretching from the Bay of Naples to the Sorrento coast and Capri.
On arrival, walk about 300 m without a guide, around 15 to 20 minutes, up to the Gran Cono, the heart of the volcano. During 1.5 hours of free time, see the crater and volcanic landscape up close and enjoy the panoramic views from the top.
After your free time, take the bus back to the starting point in Pompeii, about 40 minutes away. The whole trip takes about 3 hours.
※ The tour runs in all weather conditions, but Mount Vesuvius may close due to bad weather.
