Itinerary

1. 1

   Vesuvius National Park

   2h

   Explore Vesuvio, the giant volcano dominating the Bay of Naples. Drive up 3000 feet through the old crater and then make the final 25 minute hike up to the top, zigzagging along a path of volcanic gravel. Once at the summit, peer into the 700ft deep and 2000ft wide crater of the Vesuvius--both the destroyer and keeper of Pompeii and Herculaneum—and take in unparalleled views of the Peninsula of Sorrento and the islands Capri, Ischia, and Procida

2. 2

   Archaeological Park of Pompeii

   2h

   Pompeii is the most stunning archaeological site on the Italian Peninsula and one of the most visited. The ruins of Pompeii are an open air museum where visitors can go back in time and discover a city that had been buried in ashes until 1748. Visitors experience the city much as it existed more than 2000 years ago.

3. 3

   Archeological Park of Herculaneum

   2h

   Here you will enjoy a two-hour guided visit of this remarkably well-preserved ancient town, where wooden structures, mosaics, and everyday objects survived the eruption, offering an intimate and vivid glimpse into Roman life.
