What to expect

Pompeii Archaeological Site & Mount Vesuvius

Pompeii, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, preserving a unique snapshot of Roman life. Mount Vesuvius, the only active volcano in mainland Europe, offers both geological significance and sweeping views over the Bay of Naples.

Features

• Bypass ticket queues and maximize your time exploring the ancient streets, amphitheater, and the Forum, all remarkably preserved under volcanic ash.

• Tick off popular highlights including the Lupanar, the magnificent House of the Faun, or the eerie plaster casts.

Herculaneum

Pompeii's sister city, much better preserved, showcases even organic remains including food and wood.

Features

• Get priority entry to Herculaneum, a smaller and more compact space than Pompeii that also absorbed Vesuvius' fury in 79 AD.

• See the boathouses that houses the mortal remains of citizens trying to flee the pyroclastic flow.

• Enter domus like the House of Neptune and Amphitrite to appreciate the wealth and splendour of this coastal town.

Mount Vesuvius

Trek the Grand Cono trail of the infamous volcano that is still active, and destroyed the ancient cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis, Stabiae and more.

Features

• Start at Quota 1000, the beginning of the Gran Cono trail.

• Over a 4km trek, catch sight of the Bay of Naples, and even see as far as Sorrento or Capri on clear days.

• At the summit, peer into the crater that spewed ash and lava from its accessible rim.

A unique adventure awaits as you visit two marvels in one day: Mount Vesuvius and either Herculaneum or Pompeii.
Round-trip transfers from Naples and skip-the-line access ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit to these iconic historical sites.
Feel the excitement of hiking up the Vesuvian crater on the Gran Cono trail and take in breathtaking panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples.
Explore Pompeii, a city once bustling with everything from public baths to markets and even brothels, a vivid snapshot of ancient life.
Or, uncover the wonders of Roman history at Herculaneum, where you’ll find exquisitely preserved relics and ancient scrolls at the Villa dei Papyri.
Want the entire picture? Cover all three sites, Vesuvius, Pompeii, and Herculaneum for an all-round perspective of the eruption and its aftermath.
