Important information
* One way takes 20 minutes
* Buses run every hour
* Last return bus is at the indicated closing time of the Vesuvio Express
* The entrance fee to the Vesuvius is not included
- Travel directly from Ercolano to the volcanic cone of Vesuvius aboard the trusty Vesuvio Express
- Enjoy stunning views of the Gulf of Naples and the towns below from atop Vesuvius National Park
- Stare into the crater where 1.5 million tons of molten rock and ash gushed forth every second in 79 AD
With the best views of the Gulf of Naples and lush greenery at its base, Vesuvius is the picture of tranquility – but nearly 2,000 years ago it reigned devastation on the Italian coast. The fossilized remains of humans struck down by ash are the most powerful reminder of mother nature's unbridled power.
Journey directly to the top of Vesuvius aboard the comfortable Vesuvio Express shuttle bus, with pick-up and drop-off at Herculaneum. It's by far the easiest and fastest route to the crater.

Excellent
Air con on the bus, with good instructions where the collection point was for our return.
When the return bus was overbooked we were diverted to a taxi with no extra charge.
Excellent service.

The bus was late, the staff at the ticket desk not really friendly and the boarding of the bus very chaotic. I wish I had taken a rental car.

Ercolano
Herculaneum
Step into life before the Vesuvius eruption with a visit to Herculaneum (Ercolano in Italian). This ancient Roman town lies in the shadows of Mount Vesuvius, and was once wealthier than Pompeii. Both towns were destroyed by volcanic flows in 79 AD. Pompeii is well-preserved but Herculaneum is even more so - the eruption preserved doors, bedding and even food here. This UNESCO World Heritage site allows you to explore several villas and taverns and examine the mosaics and frescoes preserved for centuries by the volcanic water, ash and debris.
