Leave with us from Ercolano Scavi train station to discover the Great Cone of Mount Vesuvius. Thanks to this tour you can book an entrance ticket to Vesuvius in advance together with a bus ride to reach 1000m in less than half an hour, and stop for 1h and 30 minutes on path n°5 which runs along the crater. The ascent route takes about 20 minutes on foot, comfortable shoes are recommended. At the top you will be able to admire a unique horizon on the Gulf of Naples with breathtaking landscapes, the naturalistic richness of the Park, the crater with its fumaroles that make it one of the most fascinating and most visited places in the world. On a sunny day you can also see the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida as well as the city of Naples and the Sorrento Peninsula. On the return trip, the bus will take you at the same meeting point of departure. You will also receive a map of the Park and a map of the city of Herculaneum. Please note: in case of bad weather the National Park can decide to close for safety reasons. In this case we will refund the entrance ticket, but not the bus in case of departure. Note that guides are subject to the pace of organised groups: in case you cannot find one at the entrance, proceed on the path to avoid missing the return shuttle. Thank you!
