It’s easy to get Mount Vesuvius tickets, and they're always hotter than a volcano. Book in advance and save time on your holiday. There are options to buy day-trip tickets from Naples, and you can also combine your visit with a tour, an activity, or another attraction.

Mount Vesuvius tickets include:

  • The chance to visit Mount Vesuvius, one of the world's most impressive volcanoes

  • A scenic walk on the famous volcano that destroyed Pompeii

  • Options to combine your ticket with wine tastings, guided tours, visits to other sites, lunches, and more.

  • Unfortunately, this venue is not suitable for wheelchair users, or those affected by mobility or heart issues

  • The Mount Vesuvius experience requires walking an uphill path of about 800 meters to the crater - wear comfy shoes

  • Pack accordingly for wet weather conditions on rainy days; access to the volcano is forbidden in the case of heavy rain

  • Herculaneum is worth seeing too, so buy a combo ticket for both attractions

  • To get to Mount Vesuvius, take a public bus from the Pompei Scavi Circumvesuviana station to Mount Vesuvius, or alight at the station in Ercolano; there is no direct train from Pompeii to Mount Vesuvius

Everything went according to our expectations. Due to the weather, we asked to move the reservation from Sunday to Saturday via email, there was no problem, the only thing was that they didn't respond, so we had to call them on the phone. But it worked out and everything went smoothly.
