Vesuvius & Herculaneum Excursion

We'll meet at 9:30 am at Piazza Garibaldi and board a bus to travel to Herculaneum, an ancient Roman city with significant cultural heritage.

Upon arrival, you'll receive a skip-the-line ticket to explore the site at your leisure. Key monuments include the House of the Deer, the Forum Baths, and the House of Neptune and Amphitrite with its colorful mosaics.

After three hours of visiting Herculaneum, we will proceed to Mount Vesuvius, enjoying views of the Gulf of Naples during the journey.

Upon arrival, we will ascend to an altitude of 1,000 meters, where you will take the path to the crater of Vesuvius, enjoying views of the Bay of Naples.

You can observe the volcano's slopes formed by solidified lava flows and learn about the eruption that buried Herculaneum and Pompeii in 79 AD.
