Your full-day program begins in Via Monteoliveto 20, where a bus will pick you up and transfer to the ancient city of Herculaneum (entrance fees not included). Public service available every day from different stops around the city. The daily ticket gives you the chance to stay a few hours or more in Herculaneum and then visit the Vesuvius. The price includes the bus journey only!
After your visit to the ruins of Herculaneum, you will take the bus at 13:50 for the drive to Mount Vesuvius.

The volcano is best known for the eruption in 79 A.D that buried the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum and several other settlements. The eruption ejected a cloud of stones, ash and fumes to a height of 33 kilometers, spewing molten rock and pulverized pumice at a rate of 1.5 million tons per second. It ultimately released 100,000 times the thermal energy of the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. An estimated 16,000 people died due to the hydrothermal pyroclastic flows. The only surviving eyewitness account of the event consists of letters by Pliny the Younger to the historian Tacitus.

After the Vesuvius visit, the bus will then take you back to Naples at 16:30.
