Mount Vesuvius is one of the most famous volcanoes on earth. It is also the only active volcano on the mainland of Europe and provides the focal point of the entire Bay of Naples. Our transport and local expert will take you up to 1,000 metres and from there you can walk to the very top and admire the splendid panoramic views - weather condition permitting - across the bay. Peer in to the blackened crater where a single plume of smoke rises, reminding us that the volcano is only just sleeping for now!
