By car
Guided tours

Hop on the Circumvesuviana train bound for Sorrento at Naples Central Station (Piazza Garibaldi) and disembark at Ercolano Scavi station. From there, catch the Vesuvio Express shuttle bus, which will take you directly to the crater of Mount Vesuvius.

Last station: Ercolano Scavi station

Frequency: Every 30 min

Duration: 1 hour

Pro tip: Be aware that Circumvesuviana can get crowded during peak times. Aim for an early morning departure to avoid the rush and ensure a comfortable journey. Also, beware of pick pocketers.

EAV buses are a convenient public transport option that takes you directly from Piazza Garibaldi in Naples to the entrance of Vesuvius National Park, with views of Southern Italy along the way. The roundtrip fare is around EUR 15. For those looking to explore additional historical sites, shuttle buses are available from well-known spots like Pompeii and Torre del Greco.

Last stop: Vesuvius National Park

Frequency: Every 60 to 90 minutes

Duration: 1 to 1.5 hours

To get from Naples to Mount Vesuvius by car, simply drive southeast from the city center. Follow the A56 highway and then merge onto the A3 motorway toward Salerno. Take the exit for Ercolano and follow signs to Vesuvius. You'll find parking near the entrance to the park where you can start your hike up the volcano.

Duration: 35 min

Guide explaining Mount Vesuvius to tourists

If you're coming from Naples, it's a great idea to check out the guided tour options to Vesuvius. These tours make the trip easy and convenient, offering round-trip transfers in comfortable vehicles so you can relax without worrying about logistics.

Plus, a knowledgeable guide will share interesting history and geology along the way. Many tours even include stops at other nearby attractions like Pompeii, ensuring you get the most out of your day. Booking is simple, making guided tours a smart and stress-free choice for your visit.

Duration: 3-8 hrs.

Hiking the Mount Vesuvius

To reach the famous crater of Mount Vesuvius, take the Gran Cono Trail (Trail No. 5). This moderately challenging hike offers stunning vistas and brings you right to the edge of the volcano’s rim.

Trail highlights

  • Length: 3,807 meters (round trip)
  • Elevation Gain: ~140 meters
  • Maximum Altitude: 1,170 meters
  • Gradient: 14%
  • Difficulty: Medium – Suitable for moderately fit hikers
  • Duration: ~3 hours (round trip)

What to expect?

Starting at the Piazzale in Ercolano, 1,000 meters above sea level, the trail is well-maintained and winds through striking volcanic landscapes. Along the way, hikers are rewarded with sweeping views of the Bay of Naples and the dramatic crater. While other trails on Vesuvius offer distinct perspectives, the Gran Cono Trail remains the most popular and direct path to the summit.

Getting there

Access the trailhead via the Ercolano-Vesuvio Provincial Road. Parking is available along the road, managed by the Municipality of Ercolano. Make sure to purchase your trail tickets before reserving parking at www.parkingsuvio.it.

Best time to take a day trip from Naples to Vesuvius

The best time to take a day trip from Naples to Mount Vesuvius depends on the season and your preference for crowds and weather. Spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) offer pleasant temperatures and fewer tourists, making these ideal seasons for a visit.

Summers can be hot and crowded, especially on weekends, so if you're traveling during peak season, consider visiting early in the morning or on a weekday to avoid the rush. Winter offers cooler weather and minimal crowds, but some tours may be less frequent.

Overall, weekdays and early mornings tend to be the best for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience.

Best time to visit Vesuvius

Visitor tips

  • From Ercolano, you’ll need a shuttle bus to reach the Vesuvius trailhead. These buses are frequent but can also be crowded. Booking in advance or traveling during off-peak hours can make for a smoother experience.
  • Aim to leave Naples by 8 or 9am. This gives you ample time to explore both sites without feeling rushed. Arriving early also helps you avoid the largest crowds.
  • Allocate at least 3 hours to explore Pompeii. Enter through the Amfiteatro entrance for a scenic route and key highlights, then plan to exit around lunchtime to grab a quick meal before heading to Vesuvius
  • On the way to Vesuvius, consider stopping at Ercolano’s archaeological site. The ruins are less crowded than Pompeii and offer insights into daily life in ancient times. Another stop is Torre del Greco, known for its coral craftsmanship and scenic coastal views.
  • The trail up Mount Vesuvius is uneven and rocky, so wear sturdy hiking shoes or trainers with good grip. Avoid flip-flops or sandals as they can be unsafe on the volcanic terrain.
  • While there are vendors at the top, they may have limited offerings. Carry water and some snacks to keep your energy up during the hike and enjoy at the summit

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.

The transfer went smoothly. The total time allotted for boarding, disembarking, and sightseeing—80 minutes—was very tight; it would be better to extend it to 120 minutes. Otherwise, everything was fine. On the return trip, the bus driver stopped at the train station upon request.

It was fascinating to visit Vesuvius, and very helpful to have a pre-arranged minibus from straight outside Pompeii that allowed me to tick off both of them in the same day.

Vesuvius and Pompeii were fantastic. Could certainly have spent longer at Pompeii and perhaps a bit less time at Herculaneum. The tour itself was well organised and very pleasant tour staff A bit more information in advance would have been helpful eg a rough itinerary Also on the itinerary we did get it said the price of entry to the 3 sites was not included when it was We almost bought separate tickets but thankfully didn't But those flight concerns aside a fantastic day and would recommend

Everything was so organised, even though we had some timing problems, because our lunch in the restaurant lasted too long and we were at risk of not going on top of Vesuvius. However, our driver - Marchello (if i remember his name right, sorry) - did his job top-notch! Special thanks to our guide - Sarah! She is charming, adorable and with a great sense of humour! She told us lots of interesting stuff and vital tips for our further exploration of Rome. It was such a pleasure to listen to her and be guided by her through the whole excursion. Marchello and Sarah made my day in Pompei even better than I thought it would be. I would really like to see Sarah as my guide next time! Thank a lot!
