Skip the lines to visit one of the most outstanding archaeological sites in Italy and walk around the volcano that buried it, on this excursion to Vesuvius and Herculaneum from Naples.

Vesuvius & Herculaneum Excursion

We'll meet at 9:30 am at Piazza Garibaldi, where we'll board a bus to leave Naples and travel to Herculaneum, an ancient Roman city known for its wealth and cultural heritage.

Upon arrival, you'll receive a skip-the-line ticket to the site, allowing you time to explore it at your leisure. Important monuments include the House of the Deer, the Forum Baths, and colorful mosaics such as those in the House of Neptune and Amphitrite.

After three hours of visiting the ruins of Herculaneum, we'll head towards Mount Vesuvius, enjoying views of the Gulf of Naples en route.

Upon arrival at Vesuvius, we'll ascend to 1,000 meters, where you'll leave the bus to take the path to the crater of Vesuvius, with views of the Bay of Naples.

You can admire the slopes shaped by solidified lava flows and learn about the eruption that buried Herculaneum and Pompeii in 79 AD.

After visiting Vesuvius, we'll return to Naples, dropping you off at the starting point around 4:30 pm.
