Guides
Planning guides for the decisions that shape a Vesuvius day — the ticket, the transport and the combinations worth making.
Every way up to the Vesuvius crater path: EAV bus 808 from Pompeii, the Vesuvio Express from Ercolano, driving and parking at Quota 800, and when a transfer or tour from Naples or Sorrento is simpler.
How to book the Vesuvius crater: online-only timed tickets, groups of 60 every 10 minutes, the 120-minute window, last-minute releases, refunds, opening hours through the year and what the 3,807 m path is like.
How to combine the Vesuvius crater with Pompeii or Herculaneum in a day: the combined tours from Naples and Sorrento, doing it yourself by train and bus, the timing that works, seasons and what to wear.
