Day Trip to Herculaneum and Mount Vesuvius

This full-day trip starts in Naples’ historic city center before venturing to the ruins of Herculaneum. 

After a 40-minute drive, the bus will drop you off near the main entrance, where you can utilize their skip-the-line entrance for instant access. 

After that, you can explore Herculaneum at your own pace. 

The tour continues to Mount Vesuvius, driving through a national park with stunning views of the Bay of Naples. 

The bus climbs 1,000 meters up the mountain, where visitors disembark and walk a path to the epicenter. 

At the crater, admire the panoramic vistas and learn about the volcano’s geology from expert guides.
