Self-Guided Excursion to Mount Vesuvius

If you're in Herculaneum and want to get to Mount Vesuvius, this is the most practical way to get there!

Why visit Mount Vesuvius?

Vesuvius is a notable volcano in Italy and a must-see in the Campania region. Departing from Ercolano Scavi station, the Vesuvio Express bus will take you directly to the entrance of the Vesuvius National Park in 30 minutes. You will then enjoy 2 hours of free time to explore the park at your leisure.

During your visit, you will learn about the park's natural wealth and the history of Mount Vesuvius' volcanic activity. A highlight of the visit is the opportunity to climb up to the crater, located at about 1200 metres (nearly 4000 feet), which offers views of the Bay of Naples. Remember to bring your camera!

You will need to return to the bus for your return trip to Herculaneum 3 hours after your pickup time.
