Tickets Overview

  • Adrenaline junkies get the chance to get up close to the volcano that destroyed Pompeii in 79 AD

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

Highly recommend. The timeline is a bit tight for some to get up the mountain and down in the time allotted. Not for us as we also enjoyed a lovely glass of wine at the top!

Easy process no problems, received tickets in good time. Parking 7 euros then 3 euros returne for the mini bus to take you to the entrance. It’s a bit of a climb but worth it for the view at the top.

It was plenty of time - bus ride up, then a hike. We found an English speaking tour guide in the park and learned a lot. Great time! Would recommend! Also, lunch at Cafe de Paris right outside...
