Journey to Vesuvius National Park in comfort aboard a minibus, with skip-the-line tickets giving you direct access to the trails. You'll explore one of mainland Europe's two active volcanoes – though it's currently dormant, with its last eruption occurring 80 years ago.
Dominating the Gulf of Naples, Vesuvius offers stunning views as you walk up to the Gran Cono. The volcano's current shape resulted from merging with an older volcano, Mount Somma. The cone developed within the caldera formed by Somma's summit collapse during powerful explosive eruptions, most notably the famous eruption of 79 AD that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum.
The history of Vesuvius is deeply intertwined with the Campanian plain and the towns at its base. It remains one of the most studied and potentially dangerous volcanoes in the world, its significance amplified by the nearby ancient cities preserved beneath its ash.
