Mount Vesuvius — The Great Cone
Hike the volcano that symbolises the Bay of Naples and look into its crater.
Bus transfer up to 1,000 metres, then a short walk (about 30 minutes) along a scenic path takes you to the rim of the Vesuvius crater. From up there the view embraces the Bay of Naples, Capri, the Sorrento and Amalfi coasts. A unique experience on the only active volcano in continental Europe.
