Stein CastilloJuly 20, 2015Go there for the history, stay for the fantastic view! If you go in summer be prepared for a good uphill walk on sandy/rocky terrain on 35-40 Celsius! The explanation you get at the top is good
Jakub PuterkaOctober 6, 2014€20 will get you a bus ride up from Erculano train station and an entry fee. Beware, it's couple of degrees colder and windy up on the top, so bring a jacket in spring and autumn.
OnFeature TeamNovember 14, 2016An excursion on the volcano Vesuvio is a unique experience. You can go up and reach the mountaintop, where you will be amazed by the breath-taking view on the whole gulf of Naples.
Rene FischerAugust 15, 2020Mobile Internet works at the fence overlooking the valley. Otherwise the cafe/kiosk has a slow WiFi, and the people from the souvenir stalls sell theirs. 2020: Buy tickets in advance (Vivaticket)!!!- Michael B.April 23, 2019Great value for the bus trip from Pompei. Just €20 with a 1,5 hour walk up the mountain. Bar and food by the parking lot. A small store at the top as well.
Andrew TalagaJune 5, 2023You must book parking in advance and you must book entrance in advance - don’t just turn up. Go to the toilet before you arrive and print/download your tickets before you go;poor mobile coverage there
Hen schunselaarApril 29, 2022Beware of the non exciting 3/4/5G network. The best thing to do is to make a screenshot or a paper copy before you start the trip. You cannot reach the top by car which you have to park as instructed.
Nikolai May YdeJuly 18, 2019Go to the bathroom from home!! The bathrooms here were absolutely dismal. But the view was stunning and worth the 10 euro entrance fee to get to the top.
Michelle ConnochieApril 27, 2016The first part of the climb is VERY steep, be prepared! Also, if you take a stick to help you go up, you're expected to give the guy a tip on the way down.- Rene FischerAugust 15, 2020Note that during COVID-19 pandemic, you MUST book tickets with a fixed time slot in advance on https://www.vivaticket.com/it/biglietto/visita-guidata-al-gran-cono-del-vesuvio/79785
Andrew DavidsonSeptember 6, 2019Buy your trinkets at the bus area, or see prices and barter up the mountain, Where they tend to over charge as no pricing seen. PS they say it's lava rock but likely just black plaster of paris.
Polina ShevchenkoNovember 2, 2017Better to arrive as early as possible (ticket office opens at 9) to avoid huge tourist groups. Be ready to spend 2-3 hours
Jeph ChenMay 19, 2014Great views and a good climb up! Go all the way to the top for a breath taking view!
- Paula McCartneyJune 28, 2012Wear good solid walking boots, drink plenty of water and don't forget your hat and sunscreen, well worth the effort and trek!
Rita AvdFebruary 17, 2017Don't miss out on the walk around the crater (you have to go with a guide): the views are breathtaking- Hen schunselaarApril 30, 2022There is a friendly woman at the end of a mobile souvenir stop who is providing your cell phone with her WiFi access ( free) I tipped her anyway
Olaf BottekJune 18, 2015Really impressive. Your shoes will get dirty, but it's worth going up there.
Sony Xperia™ FootballSeptember 27, 2011The only active volcano on Europe's mainland. Vesuvius isn't just famous for its connection to Pompeii - a 20-30 minute walk to the top will offer a spectacular view.
Sharon ... שרון 🔯 😈😇 💀August 27, 2012Unless you're 100% sure footed.. Go for the walking sticks offered for €1 just past the entrance. While there's a path.. It's steep and gravely !
Bob WoolseyJune 10, 2017AWD minibus up the unmade road to within a few hundred yards of the top was fun
Janos GyJune 12, 2018Try and pick a sunny day so that no clouds would block your sight as the view is amazing.
Dmitriy MJune 22, 2019DON’T buy tickets to Vesuvius from a person who comes inside the bus - you’ll overpay 2 EUR per ticket (10 EUR from her vs 8 EUR in the ticket office)!
Valentin MarkounikauNovember 9, 2019Make sure you got cash on you if you take a shuttle from the parking to the ticket office.
Chris R (thechristophe)February 4, 2018Steep climb, on a cloudy day it will be atmospheric. Was expecting lava :(
Perttu AuramoOctober 28, 2013Go to the top with the official bus, no reason to pay extra. You'll have more time too.
- M FJune 22, 2013Don't buy anything from the merchants asides from drinks. They will claim the rocks they at selling are from the volcano
Kseniia UzarJuly 20, 2018Public bus 3.10 per person. Entrance to Vesuvius is 10 euro per person. Be aware of travel agency’s. Kinda cheating 🙃
BBC World ServiceOctober 28, 2010We have a documentary on the volcano and the procession of San Gennaro for you to listen to while you are here. Click this tip to get the link Read more
Martina tribananaAugust 21, 2012Busvia del vesuvio: always late and the trip is not 2,5 hours like written its 4 hours!
Nice, very nice place, near Amalfi Coast ...
Michele CastroJuly 19, 2017El único volcán activo de toda Europa y uno de los más peligrosos del mundo! Se puede hacer un tour para subirlo(auto + a pie). Muchas historias detrás del volcán más famosos del mundo
Dani G. PraenaOctober 4, 2023Comprar el ticket vía online con antelación. La visita es guiada de manera obligatoria. En la puerta tienes que comprarlo Online y solo hay 10 plazas cada 10 min. Mejor no te quedes sin la tuya.
Santiago BifolcoJune 4, 2015La vista desde arriba es impresionante. Es algo costoso para un paseo de 1hora pero se disfruta muchisimo.
Alberto GaldiSeptember 27, 2014Oltre al fascino di poter visitare un vulcano sull'orlo del cratere, si può ammirare un serie di viste del golfo spettacolari. L'escursione é comunque impegnativa.
КЛОУНApril 13, 2014Камни поднятые у жерла вулкана очень быстро нагреваются в кармане. Обладают чем-то мистическим✨. Берите черные с серебряным отблеском, не покупайте их за 10€. Магниты у входа на тропу дешевле на 1€👆
Catuama SilvaJuly 3, 2017tem que caminhar horrores. paga 10 euros para entrar e mais 2 do bus para ir ate la em cima. mas vale a pena- Sony Xperia™ FootballSeptember 27, 2011.Il Vesuvio è famoso non solo per le vicende di Pompei,ma anche per la splendida vista che si gode dalla cima,raggiungibile con una passeggiata di 20-30 minuti!
Lino Di MaioSeptember 13, 2014Visita obbligatoria su un vulcano attivo, passeggiata su una parte di cratere e bicchiere di vino alla fine.
Анечка Е.September 15, 2013Берите теплую одежду! Даже , если в Неаполе +30, на вулкане где-то +15. Очень зябко!!
