The active volcano that destroyed Pompeii — hiking up to the crater (1,281 m) is a must for a once-in-a-lifetime view. The cable car is not in operation; access is on foot only (the last 200 m are steep). Bus from Pompeii.
National park entrance 10 EUR. Bus from Pompeii (Vesuvio Express) 12 EUR return. Climb from the parking lot 30-40 min, last 200m steep. Comfortable shoes are a must.
