Pompeii and Vesuvius Day Trip from Rome
Rome, ItalyAbout
Hike up Mount Vesuvius and then explore the UNESCO-listed ruins of Pompeii on a must-do day trip from Rome! Going at a steady pace, the hike includes a walk on the ridge of Italy's famously feisty volcano, allowing incredible views down into the crater itself. After a pizza lunch in Naples, head to Pompeii to see the havoc that Mount Vesuvius reaped on it in AD 79. Tour the UNESCO-listed excavations, seeing fossils and well-preserved ruins while hearing the horrors that befell this intriguing ancient city. Mount Vesuvius is inaccessible between November and December. During these months, your volcano hike is replaced with a tour of the National Archeological Museum of Pompeii.
