Day Trips

Travel to the top of the only active volcano in continental Europe on this fascinating afternoon trip to Mt. Vesuvius from Naples.

You'll drive through the town of Torre del Greco to Vesuvius National Park, then hike to the summit of Vesuvius to take a walk around the eerie crater at 3,900 feet (1,200 meters). Remember to wear comfortable walking shoes! A medium to high level of fitness is required to complete the climb.

From the summit you'll have panoramic views of the picturesque Bay of Naples from east to west. Then peer down into the depths of the crater to see plumes of steam issuing from the sleeping, but still active, volcano.
