Vesuvius
Vesuvius is one of the few active volcanoes in Italy and has become the symbol of Naples.
In 79 AD an eruption destroyed the cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Stabiae and Oplontis.
It is a really interesting excursion and can be combined with a visit to an archaeological site to learn more about the history of the buried cities. The Vesuvius National Park not only boasts natural beauty, but also unique agricultural and wine production in terms of variety and originality of flavours.
Vesuvius has a crater about 700 metres in diameter, a circumference of about 12 kilometres and a depth of 200 metres. It is a formation comprising two volcanoes: Monte Somma (dormant) and Vesuvius (Gran Cono).
Visiting Vesuvius can be an incredible experience and the views are fantastic! There is a view of the entire Gulf of Naples, the excavations and the Molise-Abruzzo Apennines.
