Highlights
  • Vesuvius National Park - This is the tourist transport service that connects the ancient Herculaneum to the Gran Cono del Vesuvio. The shortest and at the same time the most spectacular route to visit the most famous volcano in the world.

The territory of the Vesuvius National Park is a concentration of naturalistic riches, history of volcanology, breathtaking landscapes, centuries-old crops and traditions that make the Vesuvius area one of the most fascinating and among the most visited places in the world.

The story of the bond that unites man to fire tells the epic of a future that takes place along two lines that intersect several times, move away, find themselves united and divide again. A story of existence and distance, distance first taken then revoked, first immense, which shrinks and widens again in an imperfect fire/man union, with no possibility of real closeness.

Well organised with safe driving. Enjoyable hike. - Meeting place is easy to find using Google maps. Office staff were friendly and helpful. We got there in good time and there was time for a coffee nearby. Check the price of the coffee before you order! There is a WC next door to the office and asks for a 50c. It's clean, I recommend you use this facility, there is no public wc at the Vesuvius park, the cafe bar in the car park there makes you buy something and then the facilities are awful! The coach left about 10 minutes later than the schedule but we made good time on the journey. Even though the road up the mountain is twisting the drive was smooth. As we got off, the driver held a sign with the time needed to return to the coach. We had plenty of time to walk to the crater. It is quite a steep hike and you need good shoes. It's cold in the wind, the clouds are wet but you work up quite a warmth as you walk, a windproof, waterproof but breathable jacket is a very good idea. We were fortunate and had good views at the top. The coach arrived in good time for the return journey.

Reliable way to summit Vesuvio - Vesuvio Express booked through Viator is a great way to get to Vesuvio and Pompeii in a single day, and Viator’s free cancellation policy if the weather forecast looks bad is reassuring. We went to Pompeii straight from Vesuvio, taking the SITA bus (cheap fare) from Vesuvio instead of returning to Ercalono on the Express to then take the train to Pompeii —doing this gave us more time at Pompeii site. We encountered people on Vesuvio who did not take Vesuvio Express, did not have Vesuvio park tickets, and were denied access to the summit trail. This is a reliable way to get to the summit.
