A very well-organized trip, everything on time. A little more time would have been useful in Pompeii. We will definitely come back here again.

I really enjoyed the walk, it's obviously exceptional to walk on a volcano. The only downside was that there were 3 of us, and 2 of the 3 audioguides we'd downloaded before the exclusion failed after just 10 minutes. Fortunately, only one of them lasted until the end.

We followed the coordinates provided in the app but couldn’t drive all the way up to the gates where the turnstiles are located. We were stopped earlier and told that cars are not allowed to reach the entrance. Instead, parking is available for €7, plus there is a shuttle bus for €3 (round trip). Unfortunately, this important detail was not mentioned in the instructions. Despite that, everything went smoothly. We arrived around 10:00, and by the time we returned at 12:00, there was already a massive wave of tourists at the entrance. Thankfully, we managed to visit before the big crowds, which made the experience much more enjoyable.

Our tour guide Mikela was very sweet and explained history of Romans and Pompeii. There was enough time for breaks in between travel and after hiking to mount Vesuvious. The other guide was also very knowledgeable and patient with everyone during the walking tour of Pompeii. Overall good experience we had with City Tours.

Things to know before booking a Naples to Mount Vesuvius day trip

Distance & travel time: Mount Vesuvius is about 23 km from Naples. The journey takes roughly 30–45 minutes by coach, making it an easy and rewarding half-day adventure.

Trip duration: Expect 1.5–3 hours to climb and explore the crater. Adding Pompeii or Herculaneum extends the day to 4–6 hours, while full combos with multiple archaeological sites can reach 6–8 hours.
Transfers: Depending on the ticket option, travel by AC coach or private minivan. Round-trip transfers are included for most tours, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
What’s included: Entry tickets to Mount Vesuvius are standard. Optional upgrades include transfers from Naples , combined Pompeii or Herculaneum tickets, or a full combo with all three sites. Some packages provide audio guides for a self-paced, informative experience.
Exploring Vesuvius: Standard access allows self-paced hikes to the crater rim along marked trails. Optional packages let you combine the hike with visits to Pompeii or Herculaneum. All entry tickets are skip-the-line, avoiding long waits.
Meals & breaks: Tours vary, with some including pre-arranged meals or snacks, while others provide free time at nearby cafes or small towns.
When to book: Reserve at least 2–4 weeks ahead during peak season (March–October). Mount Vesuvius experiences high demand, and skip-the-line tickets can sell out quickly.

Different ways to reach Mount Vesuvius from Naples

Best for: Budget-friendly, independent travel
Duration: ~45 minutes to the Vesuvius base via Circumvesuviana train to Ercolano or Pompeii, plus shuttle or taxi to the volcano
Cost: €3–€6 one way

Take the Circumvesuviana train from Napoli Centrale to Ercolano Scavi or Pompei Scavi stations. From there, local shuttles or taxis transport you to the Mount Vesuvius visitor entrance. Expect some waiting and limited schedules during off-peak hours.

Best for: Budget-conscious travelers who prefer direct routes
Duration: ~40–50 minutes from central Naples to Vesuvius base
Cost: €3–€8 one way
Frequency: 4–6 times daily, varies by operator

Several regional bus services (SITA and local operators) run from Naples, including Piazza Garibaldi and Naples Capodichino Airport, to towns near Mount Vesuvius like Ercolano or Pompei. From there, shuttle services or taxis can take you up to the crater entrance. Buses are affordable but less flexible than guided transfers and may require coordination with the shuttle schedule.

Best for: Flexible and comfortable travel
Duration: ~30–40 minutes
Cost: Parking ~€5–7 plus fuel

Drive via the A3 motorway from Naples toward Salerno, exit at Ercolano or Pompei, and follow signs to the Vesuvius National Park entrance. GPS is recommended due to narrow streets and traffic.

Guide explaining Mount Vesuvius to tourists

How it works: Day trips from Naples include AC round-trip transfers to Mount Vesuvius. Many options also combine optional stops at Pompeii or Herculaneum.

Why choose this: Traveling independently involves multiple legs such as, train to Pompeii or Ercolano, then a taxi or shuttle to Vesuvius, plus separate tickets. With transfers included, one vehicle handles the entire journey, so you can focus on the hike and views without worrying about transport logistics.

Helpful tips for your visit

Plan your timings: Morning departures help you avoid heat and crowds on the crater hike. Late afternoon can also offer stunning sunset views.
Best season: March–June and September–October for mild weather and clearer panoramas of the Bay of Naples. Summer can be hot and windy near the crater.
Travel & transfers: Most day trips include round-trip AC coach transfers from central Naples. Independent visitors should plan how to reach the volcano base efficiently.
What to bring: Comfortable hiking shoes, water, hat, sunscreen, and light layers. Trails are marked but uneven in parts.
Optional stops: Combine your hike with visits to Pompeii or Herculaneum for a half- or full-day adventure. Skip-the-line tickets make the experience smoother.
Safe hike: Stay on designated paths, follow posted signs, and take time to enjoy the dramatic volcanic landscape safely.

From Naples: Mount Vesuvius & Herculaneum or Pompeii Day Trip

An easy day trip from Naples that takes you straight to Mount Vesuvius and the city of Pompeii or Herculaneum, or both.
