Overview

Vesuvius is one of only two active volcanoes in continental Europe and stands approximately 1281 meters high, with a symmetrical central cone and steep, forested slopes. The entire Vesuvius National Park is beautiful and productive, dotted with small farms and wineries grown with ancient varieties that boast a unique terroir. A visit to the crater is a must and every year tourists from all over the world climb the path to peer into its depths. First we will have a delicious lunch, then we will drive to a height of 1,000 meters, you will climb to the crater with a 20 minute walk. From here you can admire the wonderful view of the Gulf of Naples on the horizon and walk on one of the still active craters in Europe.
Don't forget to bring your camera, a jacket (even in summer) and wear comfortable shoes.
Finally, return to Naples to your hotel.

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
